If you need to cool off and experience something new this summer, try skimming along the surface of the clean water at a Blue Flag beach. There is much more to do at the beach than sit in the sun, so suit up and head out for a windsurfing adventure.

Wasaga Beach offers exceptional windsurfing conditions. On stormy days, Georgian Bay kicks up some big waves for those wanting a more extreme windsurfing experience. Check out the Rogue Wave store for custom made boards, and if you’re lucky – some insider tips on weather and best spots to windsurf.
 
Accessible by TTC and protected by the beautiful Tommy Thompson Park, Cherry Beach is the choice location of Toronto Windsurfing Club for a reason! They offer professional instruction and lessons for ages 8-18. For serious windsurfers, they hold free races every Wednesday night until September, followed by a barbecue. Who could say no?
 
For another great windsurfing destination, try your luck on the waves of Lake Huron at Sauble Beach. 
Set sail off the shores of a Blue Flag beach today!
