Paddleboarding, stand-up paddleboarding or SUP - call it what you want. At Windsure it all means one thing: you, cruising on a board, soaking in mountain views and ocean breeze along Vancouver’s most scenic shoreline.
Low-Impact & Joint-Friendly: Paddleboarding is an excellent cardio and balance workout that’s easy on the joints - perfect for all fitness levels.
Beginner-Friendly: Just getting started? No worries. Our instructors and staff will guide you through the basics so you feel strong and steady on your board. If you’re more advanced, there are always new skills and tricks to learn.
Chill or Challenge: Take it slow and soak in the scenery, or turn up the tempo for a full-body workout. Either way, you’ll get ocean time, mountain views, and good vibes.

“Came here to rent a paddleboard on a quiet Monday morning. Service was really quick and friendly, and they took the time to get me fitted with the right jacket and paddle for my height and build. They have great facilities, and they're located really close to the 004 and 044 bus routes, and the public washrooms near the Sailing Club parking lot. Amazing views of the mountains, and the city skyline - a beautiful place to paddle! If you come midweek, they do 50% off - great value, great equipment, great staff! Can't wait to come back for my next paddle 🌟”
“We had a SUP intro class on Wednesday. Our instructor was fantastic: just the right pace, adding info as required, and a lot of great tips that make a huge difference when you're starting out. Definitely recommend if you're starting out, and will come back again for more.”
“Every time I rent a paddle board here, the experience is great. Maybe it's luck, but parking has never been a problem before noon. The beach launch area is chill and feels safe. You can paddle hard and cover ground, or just float and dunk in the ocean. I love the online sign in waiver forms you can fill out ahead of time for a smooth setup. Staff are super friendly and helpful, and their beach vibe totally mellows me out for my paddle session”
Everything You Need to Know
We do recommend booking in advance! If we know to expect you, we can make sure that your equipment is ready and that we’re ready to help you in a timely manner. Guests with pre-bookings are also helped ahead of walk-ins. Additionally, during peak times (weekends/evenings), rentals get booked up so make a reservation to avoid disappointment. While it’s recommended, you do not need to make a reservation- feel free to drop in if that’s what suits you best!
At Windsure, we provide lifejackets and wetsuits. We encourage you to bring a swimsuit so you can easily cool off or enjoy a swim if you happen to fall in. On hot days, don't forget sunscreen with high SPF for sun protection.
No experience is required! We offer a quick demo before heading out on the water. We also offer paddleboard lessons if you would like more guidance.
Yes, you can! We just charge an hourly miscellaneous rental fee for the additional life jacket/paddle for your friend. We even have dog life jackets available for your furry friends.
