About WhiteWater
WhiteWater brings the fun as The ORIGINAL Waterpark & Attractions Company in two splashy ways; the first is just that - being first. In 1980, WhiteWater dove in feet-first; growing from a successful waterpark operation into a thriving designer and manufacturer of waterpark attractions, we've been making waves ever since.
But ORIGINAL is also about being seriously fun and innovative! It's about thinking outside-the-pool; taking time to play, creating the newest, coolest attractions; not being afraid to be different and to take risks; and most of all, supplying the most memorable, WOW-that-made-my-day experiences in the world!
About FlowRider®
FlowRider has become the “go to” product over the last 10-15 years in the waterpark industry, a mainstay in Royal Caribbean’s fleet of cruise ships, an anchor for food and beverage operations via Flow House, and a prime product for municipalities, hotels, and even private residences! With 180+ installations and growing, FlowRider, and its’ “flow-family” of derivatives, have become synonymous with the term sheet wave, and our never ending goal is for the legacy of the FlowRider to live on forever. In this quest, WhiteWater has acquired the technology and trademarks to take the sport of flowboarding to new heights and make sure the not so simple act of riding a wave, can be enjoyed and achieved anywhere on our joyous planet.
