Overview

Chiasson Office is a kitesurfing spot located on Lamèque Island, in northeastern New Brunswick. This spot is part of the Acadian archipelago of Lamèque-Miscou, recognized as one of the best places for kitesurfing in the Canadian Maritimes.

The water is coastal with shallow areas and a sandy bottom. The prevailing southwest and west winds are consistent in summer. The water warms up well in shallow areas, making sailing pleasant without a thick wetsuit in midsummer.

The season runs from June to September. This spot is suited for beginner to intermediate riders thanks to the protected conditions and shallow water. The Lamèque kite community is one of the most active in Atlantic Canada.
