Water skis are made of wood, aluminum, fibreglass, or other materials.
In addition to the standard electronics for data acquisition, the system contains an onboard computer, a GPS receiver and environmental sensors, all enclosed in a single housing manufactured of fibreglass-reinforced composite material.

Thermal insulating materials include fibreglass, cork, and rock wool, a mineral wool that is produced by blowing a jet of steam through molten siliceous rock or limestone or through slag.
The vacuum-and-heat process is commonly used to bond composite materials, like fibreglass, to foam or wood cores in boats, cars, and airplane fuselages, but it had not been used on such a scale with srPET.
In part, the introduction of less expensive construction materials — like fibreglass — has brought the cost of yachts down, opening up the market for more buyers.
