There are many people out taking in the high winds and warm weather. The sport is a fairly new sport that is seeing a surge in growth over the last few years especially in this remote Canadian location.

Grand Beach is located on Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba, Canada. Being a large lake with consistent north or south winds, its an ideal destination for Kiteboarding. Riders can launch from the east beaches and enjoy riding up and down in along the shore in both winter and summer. There are many locations on Lake Winnipeg for kite surfing. Lake Winnipeg is a fairly shallow lake near its edges which provides a great environment to learn to kiteboard safely. View the interactive Google map of the Manitoba Kite Locations.

Accomodations and more information on the area can be found at the Grand Beach Tourism web site.
