Hi Jason
We have a lot of entusiastic kiteboarders in the Vancouver area. I was out yesterday with about 35 other kiters in 3 degree C weather having a hoot. Most of us wear Ocean Rodeo drysuits and then we are fine.
Rick is right, you may want to log onto
www.skypilotkiteboarding.com which has an active discussion group. Our local shop is
http://www.airtimeboardsports.com/
and they have all the knowledge about cold water kiting.
Another good site is
http://www.kitesurfingschool.org/
The guys in Florida may have warm weather, but we have great wind. (Then again, I am about to head out this morning in cold grey conditions, and the idea of Florida seems pretty nice).
:wink:
