What to askHi Squamish Windsports Society, I found you on Kite Insider. I am planning a trip to Squamish and I would like to ask about availability and rates.
What they teach
What they sell
- boat support
This school doesn't list its courses by level. Ask them which course fits you. Which water suits which level: see When to come.
- Non-profit society (not a school) that runs shuttle-boat and safety services and manages beach/parking access at the Spit for windsurfers and kiteboarders;
- it states on its own site that it provides "shuttle and safety services" and organizes races/social events/gear swaps rather than delivering instruction itself - lessons at Squamish are given by independent/affiliated instructors, not the Society directly
What it costs
No price published
No figure for them is on record here. Ask them for a current one when you write.

Our wind model misses this spot's wind
The weather model behind these figures cannot see local winds such as lake thermals: it puts wind on at most 11% of days and never reaches 15% in any month, yet riders ride here all season. Plan on the months riders name, not on these numbers.
How this is modelled
Each figure is the share of days with three consecutive daylight hours at 12 knots or more. A weather model's cell over this place, not a station on it, run over 2023-2024. Good for comparing one place with another, weaker for one beach.
Wind on the beach
What the spot record warns about
- sensitive wetland habitat adjacent to the launch area
- nearby commercial shipping lanes
- Offshore wind from the Spit launch
- Small, crowded launch/landing zone with rocks
- Deep cold snowmelt water and cold-water exposure
- River current and faster channel flow at some tides
