Last night at about 5pm I just looked out of my window (from where I can see lake Ontario in a distance…) and noticed many white spots on the surface. First I wasn’t too sure what it was but then I realized it had to be white crests. That again meant there had to be a lot of wind.
The very same moment suddenly to colorful spots could be seen in the distance as well. – Kite surfers!
Since Lütke and I had basically finished what was necessary we decided to call it a day. So I ran around grabbed my kite, board, wetsuit and my new bought pump and made my way to the elevator. 3 min later I was in my car fighting my way to the beaches. The only big hassle was the traffic at this time of the day down town Toronto.
But I made it to the Cherry Beach and saw 2 kiters on the water and some others rigging up on the beach. So they did exist! There are kite surfers in Toronto. I got a chance to talk to some of them and got some very useful insider info. But that wasn’t enough, now I got my stuff and 15 min later I was kiting lake Ontario for my very first time. First time Kiting in Canada in general!
It was so great to surf on the water and to constantly have the beautiful view onto Toronto skyline. I mean the water was incredible cold – probably about 14°C so that you don’t want to be in it, rather on it. So jumps and funny things I stopped and exchanged it for a loose ride on the lake
The moment the sun touched the city and went down, turning the entire scenery into a red glowing picture it was just heaven on earth…
