Contribute

Welcome.

The purpose of this site is to inform and grow our community of kiteboarders that have formed out of the riding and hooking up in the area between Calgary and Red Deer. Unfortunately it is also borne out of the frustration of using some of the kiting forums. With so many views and rarely a respone, it is easy to see that many want to do it but few want to contribute to it.

Contribute to what you ask? Well as I see it, this sport of Kite-(insert form of riding here)-ing may not be in it's infancy but it sure is young. Not just a lot of new development in the technology but we are seeing cross-over sport styles like wakestyle on snowboards, and even park riding. This is cool, this is a cool time. The sport is about to go big like snowboarding did in the late 80's.

So contribute? Or should I say "BE" a part of the sport? I have met so many people lately that are just catching on, moving up from trainers, wanting to know more, and spend the time it takes to ride well. Unfortunately just going to a forum to try to hook up with a few other kiters doesn't work that well.

And what about the someone who is looking for something different and hasn't even seen a kite? We have had so many people stop and ask, "where do I get one of those"? Not, "what is it"? Most people don't care what it is, they want to do it. It looks exciting.

Crossfield Power kiting is about contribution. We are a community interested in growing the sport in our area, showing others what it is about, and having a blast while we do it. We will be posting demo times and locations for this spring in Airdrie, Crossfield, and area. We will have demo kites for use and for sale. As well, we are now a dealer for HQ powerkites.de so anyone interested in purchasing new gear can come right to us.

Like I said, it is about the sport, and about the fun. There's lots to go around!
