No, Waterstick started as a small company and then got bought out by Baycomp, a big plastics parts manufacturer that in the end decided that they did not want to deal with marketing, customer service and so on any more (although they still manufacture some of the paddles for AT) and stopped making Waterstick paddles.

If you like the performance of the performance of the Waterstick paddles, check out the H2O paddles, different blade materials, but designed by the same guy, Steve Horvath.

Cheers!
