WATER SKI MANUFACTURERS

Connelly Skis: www.connellyskis.com
In 1965 Connelly started selling wood skis out of a garage in Lake City, Washington. The goal was simple: To be the leader in quality products, innovation and customer satisfaction. For 43 years that has been the focus at Connelly Skis, Inc. We are proud to have invented many world first designs that are now standard in the industry. C.A.P.T. top water skis, shaped skis and Hinge Tech slalom bindings are just a few examples of products that we designed and produced before anyone else. Passion for the sport leads to innovation. Combine that passion with the experience and expertise of the hands that touch each slalom, trick and jump ski that leave the Connelly factory and you have something very special. We take pride in our company and we stand behind our mission as we accomplish it every day, every year.

D3 Skis: www.d3skis.com
Located in Ellensburg Washington, D3 is owned and operated by Denny and Creed Kidder. Denny Kidder is a living legend in the world of water-ski manufacturing. Denny’s designs have been used by the best skiers in the world for over 4 decades. Denny’s passion has always been the design and production of three-event waterski products. In the 80’s his Kidder Redline ruled the competitive slalom scene. The best jump skiers in the world were riding Kidder jump skis and the Kidder trick ski is still the benchmark by which all others will be measured. In the mid-nineties Denny sold the Kidder brand and started KD Skis. His new design the KD 7000 instantly became a hit. The 7000 was ultimately awarded ski design of the decade by Water Ski Magazine.

Goode: www.goode.com
In 1994, based on the success of GOODE COMPOSITE ski poles, the company applied the same technology to the manufacturing of water skis. GOODE patented the water ski industry's first Carbon Fiber water ski. Over the past 14 years, GOODE Skis have held the Men's and Women's World Records longer and won more National Medals than all other ski companies combined.

HO Sports: www.hosports.com
In 1982 a company was born on the shores of Lake Sammamish with a modest goal; “Build a great Ski, and the Skiers will build a great company.” 27 years later HO Sports is proud to say we’ve accomplished that goal. Over the years we’ve set other goals and accomplished them as well, but a decision we are very proud of was keeping our manufacturing here in the USA, where all of the Syndicate Skis are produced today. The entire line of HO Sports gear was developed for one purpose; “To have fun on the water behind the boat!” We’ve had fun testing them and we hope you have as much fun riding them.

O'Brien Water Sports: www.obrien.com
Since 1962 O’Brien has put more people on the water than any other watersports company. For over 4 decades the towable water sports market has seen many changes and innovations and O’Brien has been at the forefront of many of those ideas. Our mission is a simple one; design and build water sports products that enhance the performance of our world class team of athletes and use that technology to create great quality products for the enjoyment of our customers. Whether you enjoy wakeboard, waterskiing or riding a tube, rest assured the same effort toward quality and performance has gone into the design of your new products.

Reflex Water Skis: www.reflexworld.com
Reflex skis feature a highly accurate, ultra high strength, ultra high durability, PVC foam core, Prepreg carbon (for the highest strength to weight ration available) and a long curing process under vacuum. These materials and process's guarantee an accurate, repeatable and controlled flex curve which makes these skis ultra durable and reliable. Unlike the major ski manufacturers whose skis stay in the mold an average of 10 minutes, our skis stay in the mold for hours until they are 100% cured.
