Sporting-Sails is an outdoor product company specializing in downhill and downwind innovations for skateboarding, skiing, snowboarding, and surfing. The equipment lines are catered towards skateboarders, mountaineers, skiers, longboarders, snowboarders, surfers, and endurance athletes. The company sponsors professional athletes from the worlds of long distance skateboarding, surfing, skiing, snowboarding, and longboarding (including Adam Colton and Long Treks on Skate Decks). ==History== Spring 2006, Mill Valley, California born brothers Nick and Billy Smith were looking for fireworks and schnapps in the attic of their grandfather's (Bill Smith Jr.) home in Vail, Colorado, when they discovered his "Ski-Klipper" invention from the late 1960s. Nick and Billy Smith tested the drogue parachute/wingsuit flying-like device on skis before attempting to try on a skateboard in the hills surrounding the Marin Headlands and San Francisco, California. On a skateboard, creating drag at will by deploying the Sporting-Sail during the descent enabled Nick and Billy Smith to control their speed and stability on steeper terrain. Today, Sporting-Sails is based in Ventura, California, close-by to Patagonia (clothing) HQ, where Billy Smith currently works full-time as their wetsuit developer.
