I'll be based in the Mira Gut area in late August and September and riding a lot (sorry I'll miss your visit, finnkc). I've kited a couple spots near Mira so far, but nothing amazing. I'm sure CB has better to offer. Based on what I've read on this forum and online it looks like I'll explore: Port Hood (it's rumoured there are some kiters there), Point Michaud (mostly surfers, but windy too), Inverness, Mabou Coal Mines, Cheticamp, Port Hawkesbury, Bras D'Or lakes, and Louisburg. I'm really hoping to find a good wind/surf spot near Louisburg. It sounds like people who've kited CB thus far pretty much just look at the wind forecasts, look on a map, drive somewhere, find a launch, and kite. And it sounds like people generally are riding alone. Sounds fine to me, but I'm just curious to see if anyone knows anything more than this or if there is any kind of community.
I'll bring an 8m, 13m, 16m, twintip, Mako King, and a surfboard. Hoping this will cover the full spectrum of possibility. Hoping for some 8m days.
If anyone has more intel or connections or a community, I'd love to hear about it. I started a forum today on the Lawrencetown Kitesurfing facebook page asking the same question, so we might eventually find some intel popping up there, too. That's my local group and there are definitely a handful of good kiters who've done some exploring around CB.
