Join us for the weekend and demo all the new 2012 kites and boards from Ocean Rodeo!
Windfest 2011
Ocean Rodeo has once again timed its 2011 Nitinat Lake Crew Event to coincide with Windfest!
Windfest draws amateur kiters from across the Pacific NW to participate in its own unique blend of competitions, big air spectacles, music and events with many OR Crew members electing to compete in the past. Ocean Rodeo has traditionally sponsored Windfest as well with prizes and give aways for participants.
We got you covered...
As in the past we will have a designated OR Crew base camp just far enough away from the main Windfest area to ensure you all get your beauty rest.
From Friday dinner to Sunday lunch we'll have all the food taken care of, including a Saturday evening beach party complete with a keg of locally brewed beer.
Camping at Nitinat
Located on the rugged west coast of Vancouver Island, Nitinat Lake is a remote, unique and beautiful place to visit and ride and is almost always windy in the summer.
However, you will be camping in the Canadian wilderness so you should be comfortable sleeping in a tent and aware that not all the regular amenities of home will be available.
Sign Up Now!
With only limited space available on the beach and with the logistics required to feed the Crew space is limited! Please sign up now to avoid missing out! Email sales@oceanrodeo.com to register!
Registration is $175 USD or Canadian and includes:
Friday dinner to Sunday Lunch, all meals and snacks will be catered for you
On site event tents, tables and chairs for your comfort
Limited edition 2011 Nitinat Lake Crew Hoodie (both men and woman sizes available)
Saturday night beach BBQ and Keg party, featuring beer brewed by one of our fantastic local breweries.
Full complement of 2012 Ocean Rodeo kites and boards to demo throughout the weekend
What you should know...
Nitinat is a 2.5 hour drive north of Victoria BC, Canada. Participants will need to get themselves to the lake. Those flying in are encouraged to rent a car. Solo travelers, we might be able to help connect you with rides - we will do our best.
If you are flying to the island, you will want to book into YYJ, Victoria International
Drivers can take BC Ferries from Tswassen to Swarz Bay or the Coho from Pt Angeles to downtown Victoria
Many Crew members will come early - some as early as the weekend before - to head up to the lake and make a trip out of it, if you are so inclined we encourage you to come early and stay late!
Those wishing to spend a night or a week in downtown Victoria are also encouraged to do so! Victoria is a beautiful city to visit with a ton to offer in August.
You have to bring your own camping gear! If you want us to rent you a tent, therma-rest and sleeping bag the cost is $80 per person, $50 each if you and a friend want to share a tent.
