First day of the 2023 FourLines annual kiteboarding competition on the Ottawa river at Britannia. The competition takes place from Feb. 17-March 4 with kiters competing in a variety of classes and events. Winds today were light but good enough for many to make laps around the set course, fingers crossed that conditions will improve throughout the upcoming week. Kiters will have to travel upwind and downwind over 3 laps to claim victory or at least finish. The new snow has helped cover a very icy river surface. Always enjoy photographing this sport. Some frames from today.
