Squamish, BC is Canada’s #1 spot for kiteboarding bringing strong and very consistent wind throughout the whole summer. Average wind speeds are between 20-25 knots with kite sizes ranging between 7-12m. The wind can sometimes be light so it’s good to bring all your kite sizes! The water conditions are flat-choppy and are best suited to a twin tip board, foil or directional.
SQUAMISH KITE SCHOOL
Aerial Kiteboarding is your one stop shop Squamish Kite School. From lessons to rentals to gear sales to repair we have it all!
LESSONS
All lessons from Aerial Kiteboarding Squamish kite school are boat supervised. This is the best, safest and more progressive way to learn kiteboarding. If you are a beginner, you will first learn to fly the kite from the boat. This way you have a chance to learn how the kite flies before it ever pulls you. Once you feel confident flying the kite you will be attached to it and go in the water to practice body dragging. From here you will learn how to create power and then try to ride on the board! The whole time your instructor will be right behind you giving you instructions and making sure you are safe.
REPAIRS
Have no fear, your Squamish Kite School is here! If you have gear that breaks bring it by the shop to have it repaired. We do all repairs including canopy rips, bladder repairs, bar line checks, board repairs, wetsuit repairs and more!
