DNA THE RADAR ORIGINS

HerbO'Brien

Herb Obrien, largely considered the Godfather of modern waterskiing had done it all by 2005. From discovering the grip and control of a concave base on his hand-built wooden skis in the 1960’s under his iconic O’Brien label, to introducing the world's first compression-molded wakeboard under his second flagship company, HO Sports and Hyperlite Wakeboards. Herb, however, had one more box to check: he wanted to design a ski with the greatest skier of all time, Andy Mapple, and quench his creative thirst with one final company. Herb has been gone for a few years now, but you can't step foot into our offices, or take a set on Radar Lake without feeling his presence...And we are grateful for that. Thanks Herb.
