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"?

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..
