Squamish Windsports Society

The Squamish Windsports Society is the non-profit society that provides shuttle and safety services at the Spit (Pepahím̕ island), in the Squamish estuary at the head of Howe Sound. Dues from more than 1,000 members and donations from sponsors help maintain and improve safe, reliable access to the site.

The society advocates for windsports (kiteboarding, windsurfing, wing foiling), improves facilities and encourages members to respect the sensitive wetland habitat and nearby shipping lanes. It also organises races, social events and gear swaps.

Its website gathers live conditions (wind, tides and sandbar, webcams, temperature, freighter schedule), safety regulations and membership information.

Normal operating times are 11am to 7:30pm on windy days from May 15 to September 15.
