Background
A former national ski team racer, ProSlide® CEO Rick Hunter’s goal has been to integrate the smooth turns, steep grades and big drops of competitive skiing into water attractions. Rick founded ProSlide® in 1986, partnering with Hans Tanzer – one of Canada’s largest sailboat manufacturers – to introduce the highest-quality fibreglass to the waterpark industry. This partnership established ProSlide’s reputation as a leader in ride performance and quality.
