North east shore, Advanced to expert, sand and rock launch, large steep
ramps and waves break close to shore, nasty side current and beach
break when winds are from SW above 80 km, excellent spectator viewing. Site used to be leased to FORCE 10
BOARDSAILING CLUB from the Alberta government. GRANARIES:
North shore 1 km west of KEHOKIPA across from the 6 steel granaries,
known as “girls beach” or “scaredy cat beach”. Beginner to advanced,
sandy bay, flat water launch protected by old road point to the west,
nice thick waves about 200 meters out , not as steep as KEHOKIPA but
great to ride, shallow waist deep water for 75 meters out and all the
way down to KEHOKIPA. Excellent site for beginner day’s and experts
especially on those really big 100 km SW wind day’s when KEHOKIPA closes
out. DAY USE ONLY. Tall grass rigging. Do not use this site if ground
it wet as you will get stuck. KITE
BEACH: North shore, 2 km west of KEHOKIPA via dirt access road (east of
rock causeway). Excellent kite launch, shallow water, large rigging
area. SANDY
BEACHES: North shore, 1.5 km to 2 km east of KEHOKIPA. A few trees,
long sandy beach and probably the tallest, thickest, nicest shaped waves
on Keho 100 to 300 meters off shore. DANGER, stay away from the outlet!
Access east of duck pond on dirt path or west of outlet road on dirt
path. SPEED
SITE: Southwest corner, access via orange NAVTACH hay barns. This used to be the location of the annual KEHO CANADIAN SPEED TRIALS held each May long
weekend. SW and West winds blow off shore here creating flat water even
in 100km winds. An early season site, weeds tend to grow in the shallow
water by August. BOAT
LAUNCH: South shore, directly across from KEHOKIPA. If there is a North
onshore wind try this site for a real treat of semi hollow big waves
that can wrap around the long rock jetty. Launch West of the jetty. |
