Herb O’Brien | 1944-2012
Industry giant, innovator, and visionary, Herb O’Brien, passed away on Monday following years of kidney complications. He was 68 years old.
During his life Herb created water sports manufacturing behemoths O’Brien, HO/Hyperlite, and Square One distribution (Ronix/Radar). Among O’Brien’s many contributions to the industry are the first compression-molded neutral-buoyancy wakeboard, the first line of closed-toe bindings, and the first tunnel-bottom waterski. If you have owned a piece of waterski equipment, Herb probably had his hand in designing it.
Herb was also known for creating technology that allowed his riders to perform to the best of their ability, while not neglecting the lifestyle of the rider. In fact, it was Herb’s industry knowledge that served as a guiding light for the careers of some of wakeboarding’s biggest names.
Oakley Ends the Season Salty

We’ll let Oakley‘s Danny Hampson take it from here:
“I read a quote the other day that some obviously deep and poetic girl had found on the Internet and put on instagram that read, ‘The cure for anything is salt water; sweat, tears, or the ocean.’ Of course I immediately double tapped my phone sending a like and sat back to consider the meaning of this prophetic post. While I can’t vouch for the first two salty things helping with anything I can say that the ocean does have some type of calming effect. I then realized that my instagram friend had perfectly summed up what the Oakley teams trip to the keys was all about; after a summer of sweating it out in contests, demos, and photo shoots, crying through losses, hangovers, and loneliness, George Daniels, Jack Blodgett, Aaron Katen, Ryan Wolfe and I were heading to the Islamorada in the Florida Keys to bath in the ocean and cure ourselves of the grime the summer circuit can leave on ones soul. We were going to end the season salty.” – Danny Hampson
