About Us 

The Bair Island Aquatic Center (BIAC) enjoys year-round access to protected marine waters and provides a variety of human powered watercraft for member use. BIAC is located in Silicon Valley just upstream from the Port of Redwood City. 

Join us! BIAC is committed to inclusion and enabling ALL people to get on the water. We believe in diversity, respect and equitable treatment of all participants, including athletes, members, guests, coaches, volunteers and staff. Anyone who loves to be on the water – whether learning a new sport, training for competition, refining a skill, or enjoying the peace of our natural habitat – is someone we want to have around! 

This 9-minute video provides an overview of BIAC, its location, facilities, and programs.
Members can use common club boats or rent storage space for their shells, kayaks, paddleboards, and outrigger canoes.

As part of our Community Outreach efforts, BIAC hosts programs for at-risk and special needs youth and corporate team building events. If you would like to learn more about these events, please email us.

Formed in 1999, BIAC is a nonprofit organization offering community paddling, rowing, and sculling programs, while providing access to San Francisco Bay's sensitive and unique ecosystems. BIAC, formerly the Stanford Rowing Club, is a member of USRowing; our organization number is 315.
