Kiteboarding on Lake Champlain [SIV415] 

By

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.

Music: Joseph Rittling, Operation Teardrop, "Seven (On The Shore)" Event Horizon & Chaotix, "Lies" La Strada, New Home, "Wash on By" & "Go Forward"

Since 2014, Seven Days has allowed readers to comment on all stories posted on our website. While we’ve appreciated the suggestions and insights, the time has come to shut them down — at least temporarily.

While we champion free speech, facts are a matter of life and death during the coronavirus pandemic, and right now Seven Days is prioritizing the production of responsible journalism over moderating online debates between readers.

    Workers have begun dismantling the old coal-fired power plant on the Burlington waterfront which closed down in 1986. The long-awaited redevelopment is removing the outer brick layer of the building and retaining the interior steel framework, the centerpiece of a new city park on a waterfront that was once devoted to industry.
