Originally from Ontario and raised in Alberta, Leslie spent her childhood summers on the water, boating with family and making memories that sparked a lifelong love of lake life. After relocating to Sylvan Lake, she quickly fell in love with the charm and community of the small lake town. Surrounded by water and good company, she’s made it her mission to share her passion for boating and wake surfing with both locals and tourists alike.

What started with wakeboarding has evolved into a deep love for wake surfing—a sport Leslie believes everyone should experience in a safe, welcoming, and fun environment. Through her excursions, she brings people together to enjoy the best of Sylvan Lake, creating unforgettable experiences on the water.
