MEET THE TEAM
Leroy Peterson
Co-Founder
WOW Sports, has a long history dating back to the mid 1950’s. Known as “the Godfather of towables” Leroy’s first encounter with a towable was at the age of 10, when his father crafted a homemade towable out of a large piece of plywood strapped to a rubber tube to tow behind their boat on Long Lake, Minnesota. Leroy’s love for the water originated from sailing and spending time on the water every weekend with his family. Little did he know that the memory formed from his father’s rather unconventional towable would precipitate the rise of the towable industry decades later and his creativity carried on through WOW Sports. As Leroy believed, he was an artist and towables were his medium. RIP Leroy Peterson 1942-2022
Jason Koranda
Co-Founder & CEO
Jason’s first impression of the world of towables was through growing up boating on the Missouri River. Every weekend, his parents would take him and his brother down to hang out, camp, tube and explore the river. This also made Jason the perfect ‘guinea pig’ for Leroy’s new inventions. Although it’s not official, Jason contends that he has ridden more towable designs in the history of the world.
FROM IDEA TO FUN
The initial idea is sketched and refined on paper.
The paper and pencil sketch is digitized and drawn to scale.
The digital sketch is rendered and graphics are designed.
We work with our factories to develop a full-scale sample to be tested and refined.
After rigorous testing and development to ensure a high quality, usable product, the actual item is produced.
The product is seen in the wild, on the water or in a back yard.
The product is sold to retailers and dealers world-wide. Our colorful packaging and photography is visible on the shelves.
