Looking for some decent spots in New Brunswick for snowkiting. I live in Fredericton.
Anyone else in the area doing this?

Paul www.PBKiteboarding.comHey Paul, You mentioned in an earlier post to this thread that the Mactaquac headpond was a good spot. What are the others? I've went to the Woolastook trailer park today, good spot as well for snowkiting and probably for kiteboarding. I've started a google group called 'Fredericton-kiteboarding@googlegroups.com' to create a point of distribution for anyone in the Fredericton area who is interested. Feel free to shoot an e-mail to that group with any information you have, we would appreciate it. On the side, we're creating a Google Map with all the Kiteboarding and Snowkiting spots identified around Fredericton. Cheers and safe kiting! -Steven

Hey, I'm in Saint John NB and I sometimes go to Grand Lake, 45 min E of Fredericton. It's a pretty big lake and right now there's tons of snow on it. I'm thinking of heading up there for a session this week. I'll post on your website and let you know when and maybe we can hook up for a session.

Oh and this is the email I tried... from one of your posts above, doesn't look like a facebook thing... Fredericton-kiteboarding@googlegroups.comIf there's another email I can use to get a hold of you pm me here. Tomorrow is looking good for fanjoys point at grand lake because they got snow yesterday. In Saint john we got rain leaving a real thick crust which is really hard on the board. I'm hoping to make the trip up and get there around noon if the wind forecast is still looking good in the morning.
