Windsurfing in Vancouver, British Columbia! When the wind picks up, Vancouver is a great place to hit the water for a sail or windsurf... and that is exactly what I did on a windy fall day at the end of September! I must admit there is nothing like strapping the board to your car roof rack, driving to Jericho Beach, and ripping across the Ocean waters of Burrard Inlet looking at the amazing views of Vancouver and the North Shore Mountains. Talk about having it all... and in a couple of months we will be skiing too! Beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia has it all!

Tip: If you don't have your own gear... no worries! Windsure Adventure Watersports by the Jericho Sailing Centre rents windsurfers or even a paddle boards!

Awesome! The different camera angles are fantastic -- how did you attach the camera to your board and sail?

A couple of friends of mine took beginner windsurfing lessons through the Jericho Sailing Centre this summer. I went down to check out their new skills and ended up having a super relaxing afternoon on the beach with a book and my binoculars (to follow my friends on the water). We capped off the day with a cold bevvy on the Jericho Sailing Centre patio. Perfect Vancouver summer day? You bet.

Thanks for the great video, Chris!
