Thanks for the update Michael. Earlier in the year I had the privilege to meet a dude that just moved into one of the houses right at the spot where we pump kites. Maybe we should keep an eye out for this guy and run it by him. You'd think a fellow wind addict would be willing to help.

Anyone know if inquires have been made with the park to have it on the building with the centennial beach cafe?

It's too far back, they want a place right on the water with good exposure.

Yes, I did but have not heard back yet. I also told iwindsurf to as well, a few times, but I'm not sure if they have yet.

There are a few houses right on the water that have flag poles up and would be ideal locations. Does anyone know them or know someone who does?
The border marker is a large concrete structure that could be good as well but I'm not sure who to contact to ask.

There is also a small apartment building with 2 or 3 apartments right behind the border marker that I've seen some Kiters staying at that may have Wifi to tap into. The apartment is on the Canadian side. Again, not sure who/ how to contact.

I just sent a message to iwindsurf that includes a contract email to the park. I'm told that if they send the query it will be directed to the decision maker who will respond. I also asked that they let me know what happens.

Hope you get a response. Did the same thing back in September - radio silence ~
