About the Coaches and Staff
All of our coaches are certified through the National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) and have valid first aid certificates. They are passionate about watersports and make learning fun and safe. All are exceptional boat drivers for all disiplines and have extensive local knowledge about lake conditions.
Meet your staff for 2020: Owners, Mike and Christine DuBois, are very passionate water-sports enthusiasts. Mike is known to be able to ride just about anything behind a boat (have you ever dreamed of slalom skiing on a paddle?) His new favourite Watersport is foil surfing. Christine’s passion is course slalom skiing and she has passed that love on to their 2 kids who are now 8 and 10 years old. Both Chris and Mike grew up skiing Lake Windermere and highly encourage everyone to get up on waterskis (or paddles!) and share their love for the sport.

MacKenzie has had a place in Invermere for almost 15 years, she loves spending her summers in the valley and being able to enjoy the lake while working!

Shadybrook is a proud member of WSWBC (Water Ski Wakeboard BC) and we offer all of our junior riders the Rip ‘n Ride program whether you are taking lessons or on a charter with your family.
What Is Rip n’ Ride?
Rip n’ Ride is a skills development program to attract, initiate and retain new participants to towed watersports. All of the skills learned in the program are aimed at teaching the fundamentals of the sport. The goal of the program is to attract more people to the sport by providing them with the skills to enjoy the sport safely, and to encourage participants to progress their fundamental skills. Every rider will receive a progress report card which will encourage them to stay with the sport and progress each time they get out on the water. The progress cards come in a variety of water-sports disciplines including waterski, wakeboard, wake skate and slalom skiing. Ask about the Rip n Ride program when booking your charter or lesson with the Shadybrook Coaching Crew.
