Radar Lab

Handmade on the
shores of
Radar Lake U.S.A

The house that Herb built is alive and well. Herb used the Lab to advance modern day waterskiing to new heights and in those advancements built a team around him that would continue his legacy to this day. Chris Rossi, Tim DeHate, Eddie Roberts and Jason Standley all work tirelessly to create innovation. It is in the Radar Lab that new foams are tested, different carbons are sourced, and the latest shapes come to light. Every concept is born here, and every Vapor is produced in this special place, thanks Herb.

Technology Utilized

PMI Foam is leading the industry as a core with its lightweight, reactive qualities. More speed and instant connection is how that translates on the water.

PVC has been an industry staple for well over a decade. It is trusted and proven as a core because of its long-lasting strength and quick response.

AeroCore is our exclusive formulation of polyurethane foam. With an amazingly high strength-to-weight ratio these skis sit deeper in the water for a forgiving, consistent ride.

Our All-Terrain Core is the most forgiving construction we offer. A polyurethane core with paulownia wood stringers allows the ski to cross the wakes with ease.

Textreme is a manufacturer of spread tow carbon which allows us to reduce weight and increase strength. It most importantly provides us a more consistent flexing and durable ski.

Innegra is a dampening fiber that reduces vibration and increases strength. Innegra is woven into the Textreme to improve the performance and durability of the ski.

Sigmatex is an industry leader in the carbon fiber world. Their looming process is computer controlled giving them the ability to use ultra-high modulus carbons with complete precision.

Putting Technology in the ski. An NFC Chip allows the consumer to get more information about the ski with just a touch of their phone.
