Paul Chutter

Born and raised in Vancouver, Paul worked most of his teenage summers at WhiteWater, not only enjoying water parks but doing everything in between: from pushing a broom and cleaning up the fabrication plant to data entry. Perhaps, his choice of a commerce undergraduate degree at McGill University in Montreal was to escape this “ground up” education in the family business. Subsequently, he went on to attend law school in the UK at the University of London. That led to a career in investment banking, with the majority of his years spent in London and Toronto. Despite being successful in his own career, a sense of belonging to the family business, WhiteWater, called him home, and Paul joined WhiteWater full time in 2015 as Chief Business Development Officer.  

Paul has led the next generation of WhiteWater’s growth, establishing strategic alliances and broadening the company’s offer beyond ride design and manufacturing. He was instrumental in spinning off Vantage, a guest interaction and venue management platform, into its own SaaS startup and is the co-founder of Endless Surf. Paul leads all commercial operations for Endless Surf and sees Endless Surf’s immediate inroads in the Surf Pool industry as recognition of the requirement for venues to create authentic experiences for a broad surf audience with flexible reliable waves to serve their different needs; underpinned by a transparent partnership approach.
