HEADLINE: 🚨 ATTENTION ADVENTURERS: THE BINS ARE GETTING RESTLESS. 🚨

Our gear library is a bit... spacious right now. And we think the bins are starting to taunt the old gear that is still sitting in your closets. They’re getting jealous of your PFDs and they have a serious crush on that extra set of hiking poles.

Help us help you (and save your gear from the taunting).

Bring in your gently-used, high-quality gear and we will help find it a new life. Your forgotten gear gets a purpose, you make some space, and everyone wins.

Speaking of winning... we are ALWAYS accepting donations. Donations are what keep our doors open to everyone in the community. Feel free to drop those off anytime during business hours!

🎯 What the Bins are Specifically Begging For:

🥾 Hiking Poles (They need friends to stand up next to.)
🎒 Backpacks (Empty frames just look sad.)
🛶 Slicey Boats (We need some serious stoke on the shelves.)
🛡️ PFDs (Safety must have a home.)
👕 ALWAYS Clothing!

🚨 IMPORTANT: The Golden Rule 🚨
We can only accept items that are CLEAN and in GOOD WORKING CONDITION. Please, don't make the bins clean up a mess. They get grumpy. We love quality gear, and we want to keep it that way!

Look into this man’s eyes. 👀 This is a man who was forced into a youth small Jackson kayak so we could send a message. 🫣 If your kid looks like this in their kayak, it’s time to upgrade.

Kids grow fast. Gear is expensive. Kayaking is cool. 😎

Let's work together to make the sport accessible for all families! We are currently asking for donations and consignment for all youth kayaking gear:

✔️ Boats & Paddles
✔️ Helmets & PFDs
✔️ SPRAY SKIRTS (Current status: Endangered Species. Please check your closets!)

Help a kid get on the river today! DM us for details or bring your gear by the shop! 🌊

Paddle boarding always equals a fun day on the water. 🧘‍♂️✨

Paddle boarding on a slow-deflating board, however, equals an unintentional core workout and a test of my survival instincts. 😜

Sometimes you just have to keep paddling and ride the wave, but if you want to do yourself a favor and upgrade your setup, come see us at NGX. 🫡🚣‍♂️

If you think Astrals are only for kayaking, we’ve got some news for you. 🤫 Run, jump, hike, scramble—these bad boys are down for whatever adventure you throw at them.

​With sticky-rubber grip, lightweight comfort, and a design that dries in a flash, they bridge the gap between trail and town effortlessly. They are, hands down, the ultimate "do-it-all" outdoor shoe.

And let’s be honest... they look pretty darn good paired up with a vibrant Redneck Rafter bag. 😉🎒 (Talk about the ultimate gear glow-up.)
