TPK RESOURCES
Wind and Weather
iKitesurf is an extremely useful resource for all of your forecast and condition monitoring needs. I recommend buying a subscription and getting to know this site. If you want to buy or sell used gear this is the place to go for that too!
Wind Guru also contains a large amount of wind and weather data to help you plan a session or trip.
Here is a useful map for looking up tide and water temperature in your region.

If you are looking for community advice on anything kiteboarding, or you want to meet someone to ride with; Mass Kiting is an amazing resource for local information about beaches and anything else kiteboarding related.
This web app was created by Coline Boisvert and Andrey Carvalhais as a resource for local kiters to coordinate their sessions, buy and sell used gear, post events, and view conditions. at popular beaches. It is alive and well; join the group!
