Foil Life Travel Show #1 - The Launchpad Windsurf & Foil Academy in Ontario, Canada
Episode Description
This episode is brought to you by Villa Carina Apartments in beautiful Bonaire.
Welcome to the very first episode of the Foil Life Travel Show! Your go to series series dedicated to the world’s best foil destinations, schools, accommodations and hidden gems.
We’re kicking off the journey in style with Carl from The Launch Pad Windsurf & Foil Academy on his private island in Georgian Bay, Ontario, Canada — hands-down one of the most stunning and unique teaching spots on the planet.
In this premiere episode you’ll discover:
- Why a 45-year windsurfing veteran bought his own island and turned it into a full-time foil & windsurf academy
- How Georgian Bay delivers Caribbean-looking water and surprisingly consistent summer breeze (thanks to Canadian Shield thermals + the biggest wind farm in Ontario nearby)
- Carl’s insanely effective (and fun) teaching system: the world’s wobbliest land simulator, BB Talkin’ headsets, tow-foiling, dry-land drills, and post-session island beers
- Lessons in windsurfing, wind-foiling, and wing-foiling — with wing-foiling now ~50% of bookings
- Crazy traveler-friendly pricing: only CAD $175 for a 2-hour private lesson (everything above costs gets donated to Toronto Windsurfing Club)
- Water-access-only adventure: boat rentals, water taxis, nearby lodges & campsites all linked
- Duotone & North-supported gear fleet including the magical iRig for kids and beginners
If you’ve ever wanted to learn to foil (or level up) surrounded by crystal-clear Canadian wilderness that feels like the BVI but with zero crowds… this is your spot.
