The DBski story

Welcome to the web site for DBSKI my company where I will build you a personalized decorative waterski.  Besides family, the two passions of my life have been waterskiing and woodworking. As I’m approaching retirement from thirty years of teaching High School, I’ve begun exploring opportunities for a post-teaching career.  I’ve always been keenly interested in waterskiing and the industry and quickly realized I wasn’t going to break into the field with my skiing abilities. I started to think,” What could I produce that other skiers would enjoy? “  While pondering this I kept seeing older skis being used as decoration both at friend’s homes and in pictures of various publications.  Then it came to me, instead of an old beat up ski why not a ski built out of beautiful wood and  then to make it even more personalized, cut graphics and text into it using the CNC (computer-numerical controlled) method. 

In traveling to various ski schools and events, everyone seemed to like the idea so I built a prototype.  I am fortunate to travel to Ski Paradise each year and Gordon Rathbun was very helpful in developing the final design.  He was also gracious to display the first production ski at his ski site.  (If you ever have the chance, it is truly SKI PARADISE!)

A decorative ski? 

...Yes, for several reasons;

·     Personalize a favorite room in your home

·     Dress up your club’s ski site with a ski with the club’s name on it

·     Compliment your house by hanging one above the door with your address or family name

·     Promote your company with your logo on a ski

·     At a tournament you could award a ski with the events name and winner cut into it, instead of a boring trophy

Thanks for visiting my site and please enjoy paging through it to see the various skis.  If you are interested in a ski or just have questions please E-mail or call.
