GRASSROOTS PROGRAMS
GRASSROOTS PROGRAMS
We have many options for grassroots programs to get KIDS AND ADULTS on the water
with water skiing or wakeboarding or wakesurfing!
ALBERTA RIPPERS
Alberta Rippers is our grassroots program that provides opportunities for KIDS to participate in CLINICS AND CAMPS at lakes across Alberta.
Do you have kids that want to learn to water ski? Or improve their slalom skills? How about kids who want to ride the wave and learn to wakesurf or learn some tricks. Or what about kids who want to learn to wakeboard or develop their riding skills? Well, we have grassroots programs for all these - waterski -- wakesurf -- wakeboard.
Our 2023 Event Calendar will be out soon! Check back at a later date to find kids programs at a lake near you!

COMPETITIVE SLALOM PROGRAM
Are you a slalom skier and wanting to get competitive? Do you want to learn to ski the slalom course? Is it your goal to compete in sanctioned tournaments? Well this program is for you!
This program runs at Predator Bay Water Ski Club just south of Calgary. It is open to kids aged 21 and younger.
The goal of the program is to get more kids learning to ski the slalom course and competing in tournaments and also to give training opportunities for those skiers who are not a member of Predator Bay and who are not on the Alberta Junior or Development Team.
