Today’s Groupon: for $125, you get a one-day kiteboarding course at Vancouver Kiteboarding School in Squamish (a $250 value). Groupon users must pay an additional $15 fee to the Parks Department upon arrival to gain park access. Click here for the 2011 kiteboarding-course dates.

Vancouver Kiteboarding School ships students out to the open, wind-kissed waters of the Squamish Spit for a four-hour group course in kiteboarding, one of the fastest-growing sports. Expert instructors, trained to International Kiteboarding Organization standards, touch on the sport’s fundamentals during an introductory lecture, teaching participants how to determine weather conditions and how to practice water safety. Students then learn to rig, groom, and calm inflatable kites, focusing on safe technique from launch to triple-somersault landing. Once in the water, wind whisperers get hands-on immersion as they practice aquatic relaunch and leap into basic flying, gliding atop deep waters and any unoccupied birdbaths while surrounded by the inlet’s cliffs and sprawling mountain vistas.

With today’s Groupon: for $12, you get two reserved grandstand tickets to any 2011 Vancouver Canadians Baseball Club home game at Scotiabank Field at Nat Bailey Stadium (a $25 value).

A Class A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, Vancouver Canadians Baseball Club defends its storied 60-year-old crown as Canada’s only Minor League team. Fans settle into reserved grandstand seats, eagerly surrounding home plate and first and third base to watch players shrug off gravity’s grabby hugs during regular games. Watch the Canadians’ hardballers vie for summertime diamond dominance. All games begin at either 1:05 p.m. or 7:05 p.m., and on scheduled nights a fireworks show concludes games with colourful shoulder punches to overhead clouds. Spectators show their stomach support with Scotiabank Stadium’s catcher-mitt-challenging footlong hot dogs and well-chilled domestic brews.

Visitors can properly pump up game-ready eyeballs on the stadium’s recent artistic upgrades, and on Sundays kids can run the bases after the game. A slew of on-field activities occur amid baseball action, inviting fans to watch the dancing cat-rental-store grounds crew, start their flameless engines in sushi races, and arrive early for special fan giveaways or to watch the grass grow.

Lap up today’s Groupon in moderate proportions: for $20, you get $40 worth of gourmet cuisine and wine at Divino Wine Bar.

Chosen by Vancouver magazine as serving one of the city’s 10 Best Meals, Divino delights palates with discriminately chosen wines and a commitment to fresh, high-quality ingredients. Chef Cameron Picyk brings an Italian sensibility to Divino’s menu of Pacific Northwest cuisine after plying his skills in Australia and Europe. Lighter bites include olives marinated in a house blend of lemon zest and garden-fresh thyme ($6) and wild elk carpaccio, served with wild celery, pine nuts, and pecorino cheese ($14). Mains showcase choice meats, such as roasted beef strip loin nestled with confit fingerlings and morel mushroom jus ($28). Dessert selections unveil such creative plates as mixed berry compote with mascarpone mousse ($7).

The 34-seat indoor dining space and 32-seat patio invite oenophiles to chat about investing in an online farm while sampling the wines chosen by sommelier Sam Jonnery, who happily recommends pairings as well. The extensive list surveys varietals from around the world, such as the 2008 Veramonte pinot-noir reserva from Chile ($11/glass, $33/split) and the 2008 Flying Kiwi sauvignon blanc from New Zealand ($9/glass, $30/split).

Hub robustly feeds the masses with creative takes on classic cuisine dished in a comfort-driven setting.

Bodies relax in the eatery’s plush booths while getting to know the blackened salmon, which chefs sear with a mango salsa and set alongside a lemon-herb risotto ($20). As a fitting feast topper, the chocolate-chip Pazookie ($8) reigns supreme on the dessert menu and in customers’ most meaningful life memories with its crumbly cookie throne crowned with vanilla gelato.

Sports fanatics can keep tabs on hockey games, soccer matches, or the national rug-shampooing championships on one of the lounge’s many HD televisions. With Rogers Arena just a puck’s toss away, the exposed brick walls and serene lighting of Hub cast a welcoming glow to fans and foodies alike.

Oriental, Persian, and flucatti area rugs (excluding silk) up to 6’x8′ also shed their lint collections and pet dander as Angelo’s shampoo crew administers natural products to release the debris. In addition to nursing floor rugs back to health, the professional cleaners specialize in restoring upholstered furniture and proud owners can enlist Angelo’s delicate cleansing methods to refurbish one three-seat sofa, one love seat, or two chairs. Customers can also indulge patio furniture with fabric baths to apologize for standing up to territorial dogs.

http://oishiisushibc.com/

Today’s Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of sushi, sake, and more at Oishii Sushi Japanese Restaurant, on Denman Street.

Oishii Sushi rolls up fresh, distinctive sushi, robata, teriyaki, and more in a tasty mash-up of traditional Japanese and West Coast styles. Open mouths for the business of pleasure with appetizers such as the barbecue squid prepared on a robata charcoal grill ($8.95), or brightly flavored clams with garlic-butter sauce ($7.95).

Prepared with Poseidon’s grandmother’s secret recipes, Oishii’s sushi is delicately rolled to showcase the ocean’s precious booty, as in the deluxe sushi combo (a dynamite roll and eight pieces of nigiri sushi, $18.95), or served in its purest form with the assorted 12-piece sashimi platter ($14.95). Cooked fare runs crispy with a variety of vegetarian and seafood tempuras ($5.95–$12.95), and salty-sweet teriyaki dishes ($8.95–$16.95) that necessitate a choice of vegetables or proteins, and the willpower to keep from bathing in them. Giving palates repetitive fresh starts, rivers of throat-warming sake are served by the glass ($5.95–$8.95) or bottle ($17.95–$36.95), in addition to a selection of red and white wines, beers, and more.

http://www.raw-canvas.com/#home

Today’s Groupon: for $28, you get to paint a small canvas before enjoying your choice of any 5-ounce glass of wine at Raw Canvas (up to a $57 value).

Raw Canvas brings together creative thinkers and wine drinkers with its hybrid studio/wine bar/tapas lounge. Step into Raw Canvas, slip on a painting smock, and enter its painting pit for unreined painterly bronco bucking atop one of three half-inch-thick small blank canvas sizes ($45). Raw Canvas supplies the paints and brushes; customers need only buy the canvas and hatch the artistic platypus egg within. After painting mind-movies onto the canvas, order a flavour-trapping chalice restraining 5 ounces of any of Raw Canvas’s wines. The licorice and rosemary of Blue Mountain’s 2009 gamay noir tickle palates, and the cherry-clove notes from a 2004 merlot by Lotusland share the anecdotes of the forest nymphs. Guests may also sample the fruits and travel-photo albums of international wines such as a 2007 chardonnay from Kangarilla Road. Most featured wines are crafted through organic and sustainable agriculture practices.

Though this Groupon is only good for a glass of wine and a painting session, Raw Canvas also serves up small plates, using organic and biodynamic ingredients from local farmers and suppliers whenever possible.

At Xcalibur Bowling Centre, players roll strikes, spares, and gutter balls on 36 lanes open seven days a week. Shod in rented footwear and fortified by pizza, bowling quintets launch balls down waxed fairways to vanquish pins following several fruitless attempts at diplomatic negotiation. A live DJ spins on the weekends, playing a medley of hits backed by a percussion section of toppling pins. On Friday and Saturday nights, a black light turns balls and pins luminous for Xtreme bowling while laser lights dance on walls and customers check the authenticity of their glow-in-the-dark sticker collections. In addition to bowling, Xcalibur Bowling puts hands to use tossing darts, shooting pool, playing arcade games, and using free WiFi to blog about the bowling shoes and top hats on display. Xcalibur Grill serves up a menu of appetizers and entrees for pre- or postpizza feasting, and The Edge Sports Bar plays sports matches on big screens and pours libations.

Xcalibur Bowling Centre offers its own deals at certain times of the week that may be better values than this deal; plan ahead to make sure you’re redeeming your Groupon at the most opportune time.

BC Wake Boats
1625A Foreshore Walk, Vancouver, BC

http://bcwakeboats.com/

Today’s Groupon to BC Wake Boats on Granville Island. Choose between the following options:

• For $44, you get a Freeride water-sports excursion Monday–Thursday (a $99.68 value).
• For $49, you get a Freeride water-sports excursion Friday–Sunday (a $99.68 value).

BC Wake Boats’ Transport Canada– and maritime-first-aid-certified drivers lead aquatic adventurers of all experience levels on water-sporting trips from the shores of Granville Island. Freeride tours equip guests with all the necessary gear before launching them out on the open waves for two sets (20 minutes total riding time) of wakeboarding, tubing, wake surfing, or water skiing. Participants can execute high-speed, behind-the-boat tricks or perfect nightclub-act impressions of skimmed pebbles while gripping a towrope and gliding across the water’s surface on a wakeboard or strapped securely into a set of water skis. Wake surfers attach to a towrope as they accelerate behind the boat but eschew their tethers for free surfing in the speedboat’s wake. Guests can also opt for high-speed tubing sessions, which require no special skills beyond an ability to grip an oversized donut and a degree in quantum physics. Though drivers quickly pinpoint the appropriate speed suited to each rider’s wave-trimming efficacy, each excursion varies in length depending on the number of on-board participants.

BC Wake Boats also offers deals through social-media platforms. Be sure to plan ahead to get the best value from your Groupon.
