Hexcel waterski. I don't waterski so I don't know how it skis. I have the K2 waterski, a buddy has a Kazama and I have seen a picture of a Kneissl. Hart, I think, just appears on the tail of EP. I don't think they actually made one. Speaking of Kazama, no "All things Kazama"?

Eventually! I am always adding more. I know I need an "Alpina" thread for one.

Oh we do have one--just need to update the glossary. I think we have about 10 new entries to add to the glossary. Just search "All Things Kazama".

found it! I could definitely make some of these. I would move the pivot point inside the buckle though. I always loved the rossi "R". stay tuned.

@Dave Petersen Is there any information on Fiberite in the Ski Journal article. I see it online but you have to subscribe to read it. http://www.theskijournal.com/issue/2.3/feature/Hexcel

What ski was first to feature an aluminum honeycomb core? This link is an interesting read in general https://books.google.ca/books?id=8_VFAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA46&lpg=PA46&dq=hexcel+ski+history&source=bl&ots=y1NELCDDwv&sig=idBo49B-7iYErV5FQx90mAUVjlg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiPr8TBxabOAhVk6YMKHfQuCAw4ChDoAQgsMAU#v=onepage&q=hexcel ski history&f=false

Didn't they have a core business in avionic frames, aircraft wings, stuff like that? When Hanson absorbed the ski division the rest of it probably went on with their main gig, probably eventually absorbed by Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, Airbus, Northrup Grummon or someone like that..
