Our Mission
Our mission is the same as it was when
we started up in 1998; to make the best hydrofoils money can buy. And
now we offer several different models, so there is no doubt we have one
that will fit your needs as well as your budget.
How We Got Here
Sky Ski, started in 1998 by Mike
Murphy. Mike had previously been one of the founding members of Air
Chair, the first sit-down Hydrofoil company. Being experienced riders
ourselves, our main goal was to build & offer the best hydrofoils
money could buy, right out of the box. 10 years later, our main goal
really hasn’t changed, though almost everything else has. In 2004 Mike
decided he really wasn’t the 9 to 5 guy (we pretty much knew that!). Sky
Ski being Mike’s baby, he isn’t about to pass the torch to just anyone,
so the search was on for someone who could take what he started and
really make it fly. In steps Don Erb, & Comptech Machine who had
already been making most of our high end, “Limited Edition” components
for some time, to take over the reins. Comptech, in business since 1978
was already well known for their cutting edge design and machining
capabilities in the professional auto racing industry. With Sky Ski,
Comptech was ready to make the move to the marine industry and
specifically, get into hydrofoils.
Who We Are Now
With over 10 years behind us since the
big switch, we’re really starting to feel right in our own skin. Under
the guidance of owners Don & Brenda Erb, Team Sky Ski / Comptech
Marine has brought more new & innovative products to Hydrofoiling in the last 12 years than in the previous 20 years that Hydrofoiling has been a
sport! How do we do it? We start out by being hydrofoil enthusiasts
ourselves, and with our 6 employees we have riders at all skill levels.
We also utilize team riders who are on the cutting edge to test ride
new equipment. With all this hands on experience & feedback we get
from everyone, we know how to make things better.
Our Goal
- Build the best quality hydrofoils available.
- Provide personalized customer service & support.
- Provide a great value.
Our manufacturing headquarters are
located in beautiful Redding California, just minutes away from where we
love to ride as much as we can, Lake Shasta. If you are in the area we
invite you to stop in and see us!
