Do I need a boating license to operate a windsurf in Canada? Mandatory Boater Education
No. You don't need a boating license to operate a windsurf in Canada. The Competency of Operators of Pleasure Craft Regulations only apply to pleasure craft fitted with a motor.
Windsurfing is a sport in which you move along the surface of the sea or a lake on a long narrow board with a sail on it.
