I haven't tried to kitesurf Guelph lake-but I have windsurfed there. The
beach area has monofilament strung over to stop birds from hanging out there
so you need to go over to the island. A nice big grass rigging area but no
clean access to the water when walking with a kite. You need to maneuver
between busses or where there is a bit of a drop - nasty if a gust hits. And
then the lake is really patchy with wind and turbulence - not exactly a kite
friendly location for surfing - come down to the lake where it's safer.
