About Us

Hydrofoiling is more than just a sport—it’s a feeling of pure freedom, gliding above the water, defying gravity, and embracing innovation. Our journey begins with two pioneers, Bob Woolley and Mike Murphy, whose vision and dedication introduced the world to this revolutionary way of riding.

In the early days, Air Chair was the first to bring hydrofoiling into the spotlight, giving riders an entirely new experience on the water. As the sport grew, the founders eventually parted ways, leading to the creation of Sky Ski, a brand that continued pushing the evolution of hydrofoil technology. Both companies played a pivotal role in shaping the sport, but over time, hydrofoiling lost some of its momentum.

Recognizing the need for a revival, longtime hydrofoil enthusiasts Brad Shelnutt and Nathan Southerland took action. With a deep passion for the sport and a vision for its future, they acquired both Sky Ski and Air Chair in 2024, with a mission to restore, innovate, and reignite the industry. Now headquartered at Jackson Lake, Georgia, they are dedicated to manufacturing and selling top-tier hydrofoils, improving accessibility for newcomers while enhancing performance for seasoned riders.

With a hard launch set for Spring 2025, our goal is simple yet ambitious: to breathe new life into hydrofoiling. By introducing cutting-edge technology, modern designs, and a strong community-driven approach, we aim to elevate the sport and ensure its legacy thrives for generations to come.

Whether you're a first-time rider or a lifelong hydrofoil enthusiast, we invite you to join us on this journey. The future of hydrofoiling is here, and it's soaring to new heights.
