These guys are the best! So accommodating and flexible and we really felt taken care of with them. A group of us booked a boat ride to the start of Echo Lake trail and they dropped us off and picked us up as requested. They even waited for us as we were a bit slower to come down the trail and called to make sure we were doing okay. They offered tips at the start of the trail too to make sure we wouldn't get lost.
100% would recommend these guys!

Out on the water for the first time this year with Dan. A great experience from arrival to departure. They have taken all the necessary precautions to make me feel very safe in relation to COVID-19.
I've taken lessons in Spain, Mexico and on Vancouver Island. These guys are great operators, you go out into the Sound on a zodiac and away from all the other kiteboarders. Stunning place to learn and hone your skills.
By the end of my lesson I was fairly comfortably getting up wind and starting to nail my transitions.
The hot tub after was the icing on the cake. Can't wait to go back.

Ariel Kiteboarding is an AMAZING company. All the staff (office people, instructors and owner) are super nice. They greet you when you get there and help you right away.

I have done many upwind drops and have ha the best experience with them. When you think you're all prepared and have everything, the instructors come even more prepared as in my instance. (I had a 9m and really needed a 12m and they brought it)

The staff work together to give you the best experience.

When you do an upwind drop, it's not just an upwind drop. They REALLY take care of you.

So thank you to all who work there :)

Only great things to say about these guys!! We called these guys in a panic late into the evening as we were stranded on the other side of the river due to loosing our Kayak. They came and picked us up within 30 mins (even though they were closing down for the day) AND they even found our Kayak for us!!

Absolute amazing people, extremely professional, and just an over all unreal service. Super thankful to have met these guys!!

You can tell these guys have a passion for water sports. I would highly recommend there services!!

I have been kite boarding for many years throughout the world and as I worked my way up to advanced, I have experienced three different kite boarding schools.

I have found Aerial Kite boarding to have skilled professionals with high safety standards. They also have an excellent teaching technique. I referred a friend for his first lesson to learn the sport and after two sessions, he loves it and is excelling.

I highly recommend Dan and his team if you want to get into this sport!

Had an awesome time taking lessons with both Dan and Zach! Both of them made the experience so smooth and fun. Both prioritized safety and progression which got myself up and riding confidently very quickly. I would definitely recommend anyone to take their lessons with Aerial kiteboarding! Looking forward to eventually going back for the advanced lessons. I did have solo lessons but I’m sure doing it with a group would be just as fun! Very laid back and welcoming atmosphere at this location.

As an avid 15 year-old kiteboarder, I am keen to get better every session. To do this, it is great to have a place with strong and steady wind like Squamish. However, it is even better to have place and staff like Squamish Watersports. Now, I come to Squamish to train with Daniel knowing that every session I will learn skills I cannot learn anywhere else. The staff are not only accommodating, but incredibly knowledgeable about the sport. Whether you are a beginner, an intermediate, or advanced kiteboarder, you will have something to learn and fun to have! I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone!

I'm 50 years old and kitesurfing was on my bucket list for years; finally my girl got me lessons for me b-day and now I'm riding with confidence and having a great time. Dan, the owner, is an amazing instructor who really understand how to breake things down in smaller steps to get you where you should be. I couldn't be happier! Pretty high standards and the boats are a plus!

Just did lessons with Aerial. Shop is in a great location, just a short walk to the beach where you head out in the boat. I did private lessons. Was out with Mark on day 1, he was great. Got me up and riding that day. Day 2 and 3 I went out with Ben, who was super encouraging and helped me with my kite flying and also got me riding more. Great experience, so much so I will be heading back for more in a couple of weeks.

I an awesome time with Aerial Kitesurfing! I had done some kiting a long time ago and was looking to get back into it and the team were really helpful. They gave me lots of different lesson options and were more than happy to answer my many questions. We had Dan as our instructor and he was awesome. I went with a friend of mine who was a beginner and we learned all the skill and theory we needed to but did so on the water which was way more proactive than the way I was taught in the past! Highly recommend grabbing a lesson with these guys.
