 The Force
10 club Beginners Weekend ... Aug. 23, 24/08
If you are interesting in learning how to windsurf ....then here's your chance.
The Force 10 Boardsailing
Club is having a Beginners weekend Aug. 23, 24 at Little
Bow Lake (1.5 hrs S of Calgary). Entrance to the lake is from the East side ...
head for Lomond, then turn South. Easy to get to from Keho.
Little Bow is a smallish, weed free lake with sandy
beaches and a sandy bottom ... works on any wind direction ...
but is especially good in strong NW conditions. Great conditions
for both kites and windsurfers ... the kite launches are all a
little bit tight.
Keep the above weekend free so you can participate.
This is your chance to promote your sport and bring some new people
to the sport. Dust off your beginner equipment bring it out
and teach someone how to windsurf.
Please contact Doug Ross if
you are planning to show up and let him know what equipment you
can bring. He would like to have some idea how much beginner equip
is going to be on site.
Here are some pics from
last years fun! See you again!

Kite
Ranch is closed ... read this. May 11 / 08
Attention Kiters and Keho Lake users!
Not sure if any of you have read the latest post
at the highasakite
forum, but you definitely should as it does affect you ...
We are currently renegotiating the Kiteranch lease.
One of the main concerns is that Farmer Don is covered for any
liability from having users camp and access the lake from his property.
Until we have an agreement in place the Kiteranch will continue
to operate for trailer owners only. We hope to have this resolved
shortly so all club members can access the ranch.
Kitebeach is also closed for camping. That
being said, with the upcoming long weekend, we would ask that we
make the Kehookipa (former club house) location be the campsite
for the May long festivities.
That will be the place to park and tent, and IF the fireban is lifted the ideal
spot to gather around a fire on the old concrete pad. Currently there will
be NO open fires at the Kiteranch regardless of the ban until we have insurance
in place.
Force 10 has provided for a portapotty to be delivered to Kehokipa for the
weekend ... so the nasty old outhouses will not be the only options.
Those of you who currently have trailers at the kiteranch
are welcome to stay, but we will party at Kehookipa. We can not
have additional tents/trailers on the ranch until we finalize the
agreement. Please Windsurf from Kehookipa and Kiters launch from
the Graineries or Kitebeach.
We look forward to having an agreement in place shortly
so that all club members can enjoy the Kiteranch.
Thanks
Gord
See you on the water!
Aloha, bob
