About Stratos

Welcome to Stratos U.S.A.

Bred and born in that beautiful pocket of coastline known as the California Riviera, we’ve lived our entire lives just minutes from the ocean and minutes from the mountains — and we’ve taken full advantage of the gift we’ve been given. From sailing and surfing to skateboarding, mountain biking, and rock climbing, we’ve done it all. And for our breaks in between? Well, you know. We built some damn cool water pipes. Check ’em out. Good stuff.

1982: Our First Water Pipe

We designed our first water pipe in our junior year of high school. Then we spent 35 years designing and building in our state-of-the-art CNC machine shop, small hydraulic, pneumatic and mechanical system for the medical, robotics, and sporting goods industries.  We’ve learned a thing or two about fluid flow and heat transfer in tubular systems. Our new ultimate line of water pipes is a culmination of all we’ve learned over the years—but still guaranteed to give you the same lifetime buzz we’ve enjoyed from our original old faithful.
