When we started this equipment development, this was the big question we were faced with. In this hypothetical situation, consider the following: Someone comes up with some cool piece of equipment, let’s call it the WaterWidget by ACMÉ-LEV. A spark of something that could be big. We, and others imagine the potential, the advancements, the […]
This is the Jetblade with the torsion bars in place during initial testing, look at the streams and the smoothness of the jets.
Sidewinder, a snake that moves sideways across the sand. An air to air missile. A hydro UFS, Under Foot Symmetrical jets made by Stratospheric Industries, Inc.

Our lead designer the HydroShaper, spent years designing and manufacturing dozens of models snowboard bindings for virtually all of the leading snowboard brands. Hundreds of thousands of the bindings were used […]

We were the first in the industry to engineer our own sealed ball bearing systems directly into our nozzles, saving weight, removing complexity and keeping all […]
