I'm going to visit a friend there for a few days in 2 weeks, is it worth it to bring all my gears?
I'll be in campbell river. Any spots around there?
I'm thinking about bringing the snowboarding gears too, just in case. :mrgreen:

If you're talking about the Campbell River on Vancouver Island, Tofino (on the West Coast) has excellent surf and could be unbelievable if there were wind. Here's a tidbit from: http://www.destinationkiteboarding.com/ ... rfing.html

Best winds: September to November - March - May
Wind Conditions:15- 30knots gusty
Water Temp: Full 5/4 wetsuit or drysuit,

Also, NitNat lake is up there:

Vancouver Island is one of my favorite places. It's feakin' beautiful up there...
