9/27/15: In the past 5 years, kiteboarding has grown steadily more popular in the Greater Burlington area. October is ideal weather for the sport and on a windy day, Delta Park in Colchester is dotted with kites and their riders, navigating the lake at incredible speeds.
Eva met up with Jerri Benjamin on a breezy day at North Beach in Burlington for a lesson. Jerri and her husband Curt are certified instructors who run Northshore Kite n’ Sail in St. Albans Bay. Eva also stopped by Delta Park on a sunny Sunday to see some kiteboarders in action.

How did you get all that water footage? I love you she says you don’t have to be fit or athletic and that it’s really easy equipment. Sign me up! But somehow, I don’t quite believe her still… I guess I’ll only believe it when I see you doing it Eva!
