International Seawind Pilots Association

The ISPA is an organization of Seawind builders, pilots, and enthusiasts. We have no formal agreements or affiliation with SNA Inc., the manufacturer of the Seawind airplane.

Our organization began in September 1994 when our first printed newsletter was published by Dick Adams in Canada. For a few years, we published printed newsletters. Following Dick's effort, Mike Bowes became the editor of the newsletter through the year 2000. All of our printed newsletters are now available under the News tab.

Following publication of the winter 2001 printed newsletter, this web site was created by Rod Teel to take the place of the printed newsletters, and to provide an interactive forum (The Hangar) in which our membership can share helpful hints, answers to questions, and insights on building, flying, and enjoying the Seawind.

Building any kit plane is a monumental undertaking. One of our main goals is to provide objective, unbiased, and helpful information about building and flying the Seawind. As Seawind, SNA continues with their certification process we find our organization increasingly more important to our members.


We also want to provide a method of communication for planning travel and flying opportunities for all of our members, whether or not they have a flying Seawind.

Our highly successful Splash-In's are a great example of how well this can work.

No matter what your interest level in the Seawind, we invite you to join us. You do not need to own a Seawind to join. If you have any questions or comments please email us.
