The sport of kiteboarding has taken off in the Grand Beach Area. There are many people out taking in the high winds and warm weather. The sport is a fairly new sport that is seeing a surge in growth over the last few years.

With Grand Beach being a large lake with consistent north or south winds, its an ideal destination for Kiteboarding. Riders can launch from the east beaches and enjoy riding up and down in along the shore.

Lake Winnipeg is a fairly shallow lake near its edges which provides a great environment to learn to kiteboard safely.View the interactive Google map of the Manitoba Kite Locations .
