Windsurfing, skimboarding, and standup paddling

Learn to surf – right in the city. Rent a standup paddle board, launch a sailboard, jump on a skimboard, and more.

We offer paddling and water sport classes to all ages and skill levels. Take a lesson, register for a program, or ask at a community centre near you.

For your safety
