In terms of places to kite, the elbow by Peachland gets great wind and is a clean launch or you can drive into Penticton and kite Skaha lake. If you are headed that far contact Dean Walton:

And get his opinion on the conditions, etc. Also, look for Mike Wade, super friendly local and great kiter.

Love the OK valley.

Cheers for that!

If that doesn't work, you can always go to " Chikko Snowboard shop" in town for all the local spots ( It's on the same road you take through town to get to Big White). I was there about 2 years ago, and dropped by the shop for local info, they didn't have any kiting gear, but they knew all the local spots, and even gave me a map and a T-Shirt...lol...
