About Us

We have been kiting in Ottawa since the last millennium! Given the easy access to water and snow right in the city, Ottawa is the catalyst for the formation of kiting pioneers in various aspects of kite sports.

There have been known fatal accidents while kitesurfing so for all disciplines of kiting, safety has to be taken seriously. Please make sure you have read and understood safety page before getting into kiting.
