The Squamish Windsports Society... is a non-profit society providing sailors with access to high wind sailing where the Squamish River meets Howe Sound. Squamish, BC, Canada has more high performance sailing days on the water than most other places in North America. Just north of Vancouver and south of Whistler, Squamish's offshore warm winds and sunshine are a blessing to all those people familiar with cold and blustery storm fronts which power windsurfing and kite sails in most other places across the country.

Kiteboarding awareness is growing! We're all seeing the numbers of people on the water climbing, while on the beach we're answering more and more questions from passers-by about those big beautiful kites. Thankfully we are also seeing a growth in the demand for lessons. There is a lot of technical, safety and community know-how for new pilots to pick up. Taking lessons is a great entry way into this incredibly liberating sport.

The Skypilot Kiteboarding School has begun it's 3rd year of instruction! Due to the numbers of people engaging in the sport, the school has doubled it's roster of IKO certified instructors and is happy to have attracted some very friendly and talented guys. Keep an eye here for an upcoming article detailing each of the instructors!

There is great energy out there on the water, come out and get your stoke on!
