Dan KaselerWhen Dan is not busy designing the world's most badass windsurfing sails, he dominates the Pacific Northwest Melges 24 fleet at the helm of Pteron. In the spring of 2005, Velocitek founder Alec Stewart took the summer off from grad school and rode the train from Palo Alto all the way up to Port Angeles, WA where he rented an extra room in Dan's design loft. This is where the first Velocitek devices were built by hand. An electric skillet (originally designed to cook pancakes) was used to solder components to the product's circuit board. Dan has been a valued adviser ever since. He is also the designer of Velocitek's distinctive logo and our Melges 24-friendly slug track mounting bracket.
