When it comes to unforgettable summer adventures, Muskoka is known for its pristine lakes, lush landscapes, and endless opportunities for outdoor fun. But if you’re looking to kick your Muskoka experience up a notch—literally—it’s time to try fly boarding in Muskoka, one of the most thrilling water sports to hit the region. At Muskoka Wake, we’re proud to offer this high-flying, heart-racing activity for adrenaline seekers and curious beginners alike.
Whether you’re visiting the cottage, exploring with friends, or planning a unique weekend getaway, fly boarding in Muskoka is a must-try experience that takes summer fun to new heights.
What is Fly Boarding?
Fly boarding is a water sport that uses a water-propelled board connected to a jet ski. When the jet ski powers up, water shoots through a long hose connected to the board, launching the rider into the air. Once airborne, you can hover, spin, dive, and soar above the water like a superhero or even perform tricks if you’re feeling confident.
It’s often described as a cross between jetpacking, wakeboarding, and flying—creating an experience that’s just as exhilarating as it sounds.
Why Muskoka is the Perfect Place to Try It
Muskoka’s calm, clear lakes offer the perfect environment for water sports like fly boarding. With minimal boat traffic in the early morning and evening hours, smooth water surfaces make it easier to balance and maneuver. And let’s be honest—there’s nothing quite like flying over a glassy lake with forested shorelines and luxurious cottages in the background.
We operate on several lakes across the region, ensuring you get both the thrill and the view. Whether you’re in Lake Muskoka, Lake Rosseau, or Lake Joseph, we’ll come to you or meet at one of our preferred locations.
Who Can Try Fly Boarding?
You don’t need to be a pro athlete or extreme sports junkie to try fly boarding. In fact, most first-timers are up in the air within 5 to 10 minutes. Our experienced instructors guide you through a short safety and technique session before you hit the water.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Minimum age: 12 years old (parental consent required for minors)
- Comfortable swimmer: Basic swimming skills are a must, but you’ll be wearing a life jacket the entire time
- Fitness level: Average physical fitness is enough—no special training required
- No experience needed: We cater to beginners and offer step-by-step coaching
If you’re comfortable in the water and willing to try something new, fly boarding in Muskoka is completely within your reach.
What to Expect During Your Fly Boarding Session
We make your fly boarding experience seamless from start to finish.
Step 1: Arrival and Safety Briefing
Your session starts with a warm welcome from our certified fly boarding instructor. We’ll walk you through how the equipment works, the proper body position, and hand signals you’ll use to communicate during your ride.
Step 2: Gear Up
You’ll be fitted with a life jacket and helmet before stepping onto the fly board. The board itself is connected to a jet ski operated by your instructor.
Step 3: Lift Off
As the water pressure increases, the board will lift you out of the water. At first, you may hover just a few feet above the surface. With a little practice and guidance, you can fly up to 15–20 feet in the air!
Step 4: Ride, Spin, and Soar
Once you’ve found your balance, it’s time to explore what the fly board can really do. You can move around, turn, and even try gentle dives into the water. For more experienced riders, we can help you work toward tricks like dolphin dives or spins.
Step 5: Wrap-Up and Photos
Your instructor will help guide your smooth landing. We also offer optional photo and video packages so you can relive the adventure and share it with your friends.
