Hi Dominik,
Poor you! You ended up on a Northwest America forum to get information on the Net. You’re far from Montreal!!!
There is not much rental equipment in Montreal except for beginner or intermediate.
However, here is more information for you.
For rental, take a look at the Montreal Windsurfing Association’s Web site at: www.apvm.ca/location_planche.html . It’s in French but you can communicate in English and you’ll be answered in English! (Don’t be confused, “location” in French means “rental”…)
For “expert” or “high wind” rental equipment, you should contact the windsurfing shops. I don’t think they have an official rental service but maybe you could deal something. If they don’t, at least they will be aware of the possible market$$$. If there is demand for, maybe they will develop something. At the following page, you have them all: http://www.apvm.ca/boutiques.html (I would try 2-Rad first). Don’t waste your time with the last three ones.
You can find super complete information on the windsurfing spots in the area at the following Web site: www.flipperdesign.com/Sites_planche/sites_de_planche_frm.htm (in French, but very accurate information). My best bets for better winds are Cartier (Montreal) for any season and “Les Roches” (Champlain) particularly in autumn.
Also, for questions and discussions, you should register yourself on the following sites: www.windsurfing.qc.ca and www.quebecwind.com . Those discussion forums are in French either but you are free to write in English and people will answer your post in English.
Hope this help
Au plaisir de te rencontrer,
Sylvie, alias Planchette |
