Thinking of moving to Vancouver whats the wind like?

[Dub]

I'm thinking about moving to Vancouver next April for around a year. I was just wonder what the kitesurfing is like in the area. How close is the nearest spot average wind strengths?

Any info would be appreciated.

I get over a hundred days of kiting a year around here.

Check out Squamish, BC. Cool spot.

If you end up moving, don't forget to come down to Bellingham and ride in the bay! We ride year-round and have miles of shallow water.

kiting is great in general, especially in the sumer. Unfortunately kiting usually involves a drive around here. From vancouver, squamish (the IT spot during the summer) is 1hr to 1 1/2hr away.
