Sauble Beach was recently ranked by Maclean’s magazine as among Canada’s top 10 best beaches, and its strong spring and fall winds are optimal for adventure activities such as kite surfing. Want to try it out for yourself? Kiterider in Sauble Beach offers lessons for beginners each summer!

Wow, Awesome!
Kite boarding is pretty cool on Lake Simcoe as well – both in Keswick and in Beaverton. Winds are prevailing from the north west so these places are perfectly situated to enjoy kiting and windsurfing there. We see local and visiting kiters out there every time iwindsurf.com predicts good winds!
Many kite surfers bring their significant ones to try kite boarding on the ice – much safer and very exciting winter sport.
Cheers,
Olga and David
