All members are welcome to join on the trip and have a great time together, as a club.

This is our annual windsurfing trip, open to all members that takes place over the British Columbia Day long weekend.  

Nitinat Lake is approximately 60km south west of the western end of Lake Cowichan on Vancouver Island.  Access to the lake is via logging road.

Wind conditions are ideal for high wind sailors.  Throughout the summer the Lake experiences strong thermal winds.  Mornings start still and by mid afternoon winds can reach 30Kts or higher.

Members are expected to help transport gear and arrange car sharing with other members.  Nitinat is a remote location and without drinking water.  Everything you need to camp with is to be brought with you.  

There is no limit on participants but we will be limiting the amount of boards and sails.  What level boards go will depend upon the profile of the members who register.  Although we hope there is enough gear for everyone, we do expect gear to be shared if there are too many people in a certain level. Typically the wind blows for at least 5 hours per day so there is ample opportunity to sail.

This notice is going out now so that car sharing can be arranged and Ferries booked.
