Our Story

Born at the Beach.
Built on Passion.

Windsure Adventure Watersports is a family-run gem tucked into the stunning shoreline of Jericho Beach in West Point Grey, Vancouver. Since day one, we’ve been all about sharing the joy, freedom, and thrill of life on the water — and nearly five decades later, that stoke is still going strong.

It all started back in 1975, when our founder spotted a strange surfboard with a sail at Kits Beach. One wobbly lesson later (and a whole lot of wipeouts), he was completely hooked. By 1977, he’d opened Windsure as Western Canada’s first-ever windsurfing school — and taught every single lesson himself.

Fast forward to today — we’re proud to be a second-generation, family-owned business now led by our founder’s daughter, who grew up on this very beach. (Seriously — we have the cutest photo of her learning to skimboard here as a kid!)

Over the years, siblings, cousins, and entire families have worked here — including our own. And our customers keep coming back because they can feel the difference: we’re not just a watersports school, we’re a crew that genuinely loves what we do.With over 30 seasonal staff, Windsure is still rooted in that same spirit of fun, freedom, and falling in love with the water.
