Mel Grains
Instructor & Admin
''Having studied in education and growing up in Winnipeg, kiteboarding became a new avenue for me to expand my physical skills and experiences.
Moving to Squamish provided me the opportunity to dedicate my life to water sports and everything Kiteboarding has to offer. With 6 years of kiteboarding I have been able to apply my education experience to teaching kiteboarding on the beautiful waters of Squamish. I look forward to the opportunities water sports will provide for our kite family.''

''I was first introduced to kitesports at 15 from my father in Cherry Beach Toronto. I then learned how to snowkite in Winnipeg where I quickly developed as a rider. When I was 20 I moved to Squamish and had the opportunity to become a kiteboarding instructor with Dan and I helped the school grow from humble beginnings to the largest school in Canada. I love to share my passion for kiteboarding with my students and I hope to see you out on the water!

I spent 8 seasons teaching Adaptive Skiing, Snowboard & Sit Skiing lessons in Whistler. I have taught Kiteboarding abroad for many years until finding, “There’s no place like home” and I now spend my summer seasons teaching full time in Squamish.
