Air Canada does not officially accept windsurfing equipment in 2023. On the Air Canada website it states the following regarding windsurf boards:
------------------ [AMZ asins='B07WSRXMS8,3903038180,3937323228,B00JE3E028']
The following items are not accepted as checked baggage because of their overall dimensions:
Bobsleighs
Canoes
Hang gliders
Luges
Windsurfing equipment
-----------------
However, Air Canada has recently changed it's sports equipment policies regarding Kayaks and Stand-Up Paddle Boards, and which were previously prohibited, and are now accepted for travel with Air Canada.
Kayaks are now allowed for a flat fee of $100 CAD/USD, and a typical windsurf board/quiver bag with a waveboard a couple of sails/rigs falls within the allowed dimensions:
Maximum length: 300 cm (116 in)*
Maximum width: 45 cm (18 in)
Maximum height: 76 cm (29 in)
Some limits apply depending on the aircraft type. Check the Air Canada Kayaks Policy page for details. If you can convince the check-in agent that your windsurfing bag is a Kayak, it should be accepted. You can also claim that your windsurfing gear is a Stand-Up Paddle Board or a surfboard/kiteboard, in which case it would be accepted under the Surfboard rules, but the official allowed dimensions are slightly smaller (Max width for surfboards is limited to 60 cm).
