About Prince Edward Island

Prince Edward Island on Canada's east coast offers steady winds from spring through autumn across multiple distinct spots accommodating all rider levels. Malpaque Bay's Kite Point has emerged as the primary destination with shallow, warm flatwater and excellent launch infrastructure. Seasonal water temperature ranges from cold in spring and fall to swimable conditions mid-summer. The small island province provides consistently good winds every week alongside abundant non-kiting activities, quality seafood dining, and scenic landscapes. Spring and fall months deliver strong conditions despite cooler water. Summer accommodation availability can be limited during peak season, requiring early planning.
