DNA Matt Rini

“I have a Masters degree in water skiing, not in business,” Radar design team leader and World Champion coach Matt Rini laughs “When Herb invited me to Radar Lake in the winter of 2005 to discuss my potential future with his new company, the fiscal details were the last thing on my mind ” The band was staying together, Herb, Chris Sullivan, Chris Rossi; and with the addition of Andy Mapple, Rini knew following Herb into this new company was his opportunity to take his design work and his coaching to the next level. “Herb was an amazing leader, all he asked for was attention to detail, and unbending truth, even if your opinions didn’t always mesh with his ideas.

“I think I’m a bit like Herb in that way, I obsess over it, every detail Whether it’s big picture, like a bevel shape or altered outline, or something that lies in the details, like a lace material or boot liner density I want my athletes to have exactly what they need to achieve their best ” Trying to achieve what was once thought impossible is what guides Rini “I watch people run 41’ off almost every single day; I know what is required, and I want to help create the perfect tool to help push these skiers even further ”
