keho lake | east kite beach kitesurf spot
Canada · Alberta
Overview
East Kite Beach is a launch spot on the east shore of Keho Lake, Alberta's most popular kitesurfing lake. This prairie irrigation reservoir sits at 963 m altitude in southern Alberta.
The east shore receives the dominant Chinook winds (west/southwest) as side-onshore, offering safe conditions with wind pushing back toward the beach. Excellent for intermediate kitesurfers. The fetch from the west shore generates good chop. Season from May to October.
