@Nathan Bulldis: Way cool. Lots of options for every adventure. Super chill staff. Definitely worth the trip.

@Elizabeth Lohrke: They have everything. And a great mix of new and used. Fun place to wander. Great if you need something specific. Very friendly staff.

@T. RW: I came in to relive some ski boot pressure points. The staff had the tools and experience to solve my problem. Thank You

@Jesse De Leon: Super nice and helpful people. Great prices.

@Brittny Williams: Super helpful with searching for a last minute ski suit for my friend!

@Oka Taka: Nice place to rent gears

@Jacob Balik: Great customer service! I was in town visiting family for just a week and my board needed some repair before another trip to Angel Fire, NM just a few days later. They hooked me up! Will definitely use them again!

@matt skroch: We had a great experience. Friendly staff, wonderful location, and equipment that fit the bill perfectly.

@Andy Maggi: Very friendly and very helpful. I had a group that was looking to spend some time on the water as part of an office outing. The team here went above and beyond to get us set up and on our way.

@Jacob Rose: What a fun birthday idea! Invited friends to come paddle for a few hours and had great time. The sloughs around Warren are very cool as well with all the ash trees. I’ll make this a habit for all my birthdays now!

@Helen Wall: Great service and knowledgeable staff. We had a lovely afternoon kayaking around the waterways. Check the tides before you go. Highly recommend Next Adventure Scapoose for a day out of town.
