Gear Swap back for 2011 bigger than ever
By Nelson Daily Staff
The Endless Adventure Gear Swap is back this weekend.
On Saturday and Sunday the outdoor water adventure “Swap Meet” presents an opportunity for people to sell old water sport equipment and pick up new stuff for the 2011 season.
The event will also be awareness and fundraiser for the Borderline Boaters Paddle Club, a not-for-profit water-user group that has a “leave-no-trace” policy and promotes responsible waterway management.
This annual event allows an outdoor enthusiast a chance to upgrade their gear for the new season. This is also a great way to get that first piece of gear. If you are and avid paddler or just wanting to get on the water this summer this is an excellent opportunity for you to get your paddling equipment.
Registration to sell equipment is from now until 6 p.m. on May 6, after which the parking lot of Endless Adventure gets transformed into a “Gear Swap.” There is a $5 fee for selling your equipment with all proceeds going to the Borderline Boaters Paddle Club.
“As a group, we contribute to the well being and vitality of the community via social interaction, recreation and fitness using water and fun as the common medium,” said Carl Jacks, club president.
All people are welcome down on the weekend to ask questions and find out more about water sports.
Endless Adventure will also be announcing their spring and summer schedule and new programs for people at all levels.
“We are excited about May healthy living and introducing a new Kayak Fitness Program that strengthens your core and gives people the opportunity to work on their paddling technique in an enthusiastic safe environment,” said Andrea Miller, co-owner of Endless Adventure.
