We offer kids & youth summer camps, learn-to-sail programs, and wing foiling clinics for all ages and skill levels, from first-timers to experienced enthusiasts. Founded in 2008, Whistler Sailing is a local nonprofit sailing association formed by a group of dinghy sailors looking to bring the sport of sailing to the community of Whistler. Operating on Alta Lake, WSA is home to a regular thermal th

at routinely meet the shores every day. The fresh water provides a perfect location for beginner sailors, and the mountainous terrain creates shifts that can keep any advanced sailor on their toes. Through the passion of dedicated volunteers and an incredible team of people, the association has grown into a fully operational sailing school offering summer sailing programs for kids and youth, and adult programming including learn to sail and race nights.

A few shots from yesterday’s Alta Lake Slalom! 💨🏄

After a bit of a wait for the wind, we managed to get two races off and had a great afternoon on the water.

What a special day on Alta Lake! 💨🏄

Yesterday, Alta Lake Foil Day brought our local foiling community together for a full day of learning, connection, and some friendly competition.

The morning kicked off with an incredible Foil & Board Repair & Tuning Clinic with Rob Mulder of Robert’s Composites, where participants learned about gear efficiency, foil tuning, board selection, and what makes a setup go fast.

After a community lunch and a bit of a wait for the wind, a light southerly breeze filled in around 3 pm, giving us enough to run two slalom races.

The first race saw the course fill in nicely, while the second brought lighter, trickier conditions that put everyone’s light-air skills to the test.

Congratulations to 15-year-old Phil Hargreaves, who took the overall win!

A huge thank you to our volunteers for helping with race starts, finishes, media, and everything in between.

Alta Lake Foil Day was presented by the Alta Lake Foiling Community in partnership with Whistler Sailing, with funding from the Whistler Community Foundation’s Small Neighbourhood Grants program.

Thanks to everyone who joined us and helped make it such a special day!

First Flight ✨🤙

Our first-ever Youth Learn to Wing Foil Camp was a huge success!

There’s nothing quite like watching someone experience their first flight above the water, and this week we got to see several young riders do exactly that.

From learning the fundamentals to getting up on foil, these campers embraced every challenge, cheered each other on, and made history as the first participants in our Youth Learn to Wing Foil program.

We’re incredibly proud of everything they accomplished.

Ready to learn? Check out our youth and adult wing foiling programs at the link in our bio.
