Kiters on Bowen Island? Can I foil there?
Fellow wind addicts,
Me and my family are considering Bowen Island as our year-round home. Do you know any kiters on Bowen? Can I talk with them?
Have you seen solid wind on Bowen? I'm hoping that it catches some of the thermal that feeds Squamish, plus wind that moves up/down the Georgia Straight.
Seems like it has potential... and I cant move without asking the local pros.
Thank you!

I know an accomplished waterman/kitefoiler who moved to Bowen. Occasionally he will foil there, but it is purely a novelty spot for him and he described it as sketchy which I would translate as being terrifying for most people. Personally I think it would be hell living on Bowen and being into windsports, especially knowing how much better and safer the launches are on the Mainland.
