What riders say

Real sessions. Real summers.

A few favourites from past guests on Kootenay Lake.

Sample Guest ★★★★★

"Best day of our trip. Coached three of us who'd never wakeboarded before — and we all stood up. Boat was immaculate, instructor was the best."

Sample Guest ★★★★★

"Booked a sunset charter for my partner's birthday. The captain knew all the best spots, the music was on, and the views were unreal. Highly recommend."

Sample Guest ★★★★★

"Took the whole family out for a waterski session — got everyone up, even the kids. Couldn't have asked for a better day on the lake."
