Alex Mercer
Founder & CEO
Former aerospace structures engineer. Spent a decade designing lightweight composite assemblies before turning that obsession toward the water. Pilot, foil surfer, and relentless systems thinker.
The Team
Built by people
who ask why not.
We're engineers, designers, and builders obsessed with making
the water feel like flying. No legacy thinking. No sacred cows.
Jordan Ellis
Co-Founder & CTO
Embedded systems and electric propulsion. Built motor controllers for Formula SAE before moving into marine applications. Believes every watt counts and every byte should earn its place.
Sam Nakamura
Head of Design
Industrial designer with roots in consumer electronics and sporting goods. Shapes things that are meant to be touched, trusted, and taken apart. Detail-obsessed and proud of it.
Dr. Priya Nair
Head of Hydrodynamics
PhD in fluid mechanics. Former research lead at a top marine technology lab. Wrote her dissertation on foil cavitation suppression. Fluent in CFD, MATLAB, and the kind of patience that comes from running 10,000 simulations.
Marcus Holt
Head of Manufacturing
Composite fabrication and production engineering. Built his first carbon fiber hull in a garage. Believes if you can't make it repeatable, you haven't finished designing it yet.
Casey Thornton
Head of Software
Full-stack and embedded. Wrote flight control firmware before pivoting to marine autonomy. Thinks the best UI is one you forget is there. Runs Linux on everything.
