A wake surf school out of Vernon, BC, with a perfect five-star record, known for a coach who gets beginners of all ages surfing quickly and helps experienced riders progress.
Okanagan Wake Surf School runs coached wake surfing sessions from its own boat around Vernon, and every review is five stars. The lead coach comes up in all of them for patient, well-tailored instruction and a fun atmosphere on board, with music and stories between sets.
Beginners say they were up on the board within a try or two, and families with kids as young as eight, parents in their fifties and nervous first-timers all report success. Experienced riders say the coach still finds small technique fixes that help them progress, and one couple went from surfing with fins to without in four hours. A skilled driver running the boat is also credited.
Sessions suit families and groups, including a party of ten. The school has picked up guests from the dock at a nearby resort, and Google lists family and kids' discounts.
Reviewers have no complaints. One suggests booking a mid-to-late morning slot, when they found the lake calm with little boat traffic.
