The Squamish Windsports Society is a non-profit society providing sailors with access to a high wind sailing location where the Squamish River meets Howe Sound. Squamish has more high performance sailing days than most other places in North America. Sunshine and steady wind provide ideal conditions for kiteboarding and windsurfing here in beautiful British Columbia.

Community Safety Notice ⚠️

We have been asked by the terminal to let our community know that there is currently a significant increase in rail cars on site, and this is expected to continue over the next few months.

For everyone’s safety, please do not cross the rail cars, cross the tracks, or enter terminal property (including Bozo). Crossing rail cars or tracks is extremely dangerous, and CN will likely be monitoring the area more closely during this time.

We know this may be inconvenient, but our priority is the safety of our windsport community. These are not Squamish Windsports Society rules, and the terminal property is not managed by SWS.

Thank you for helping keep our community safe and respecting these restrictions.

What a weekend for the Core demo!

Huge thanks to everyone who came out to test the new gear and get some time on the water. It was awesome having Steven Akkersdijk stop by too - always a treat to see him ride and chat setups with the crew!

Hope everyone had an absolute blast out there. This is just a taste of what's coming this season, so stay tuned for more demos ahead!
