Re: INTERNAL MIGRATION

Welcome to Manitoba!

For a complete set of details. Checkout one of our club pages put
together by Myron H. It has a great guide www.windsurfingmanitoba.com

Lake Winnipeg offers some incredible conditions. Generally speaking
we sail in a broad range of conditions. Everything from 6.5 or 7.5
down to 4.5 or 3.5 (e.g., last Sunday we had an afternoon of steady
35 knots with gusts over 40).

Kiteboarding is also fairly popular here. A group of windsurfers
rarely windsurf they love kiting so much....plus you can do it in the
winter with a snowboard (the flat land has to be good for something).

I am actually looking for a new light wind board (130-140 litre
slalom or free-ride). So if you have something like that let me know.

I don't think that would be a problem (200+) as the construction is in the very high-end department. However, I cannot 'jump' that board AT ALL! The Honda...
