80's Night At Ski Bowl
Shop NewsIt was a bit of a nail-biter up to the week before the 2nd annual 80's night. Last year the weather fully cooperated but this year, not so much. We were able to make due though. Ski Bowl's cat operators moved a little snow, Bryan loaded the NA crew up in the Sprinter van and voila- 80' Night was on. In our most awesome collection of 80's gear we rode, delivering schwag to other mountain lovin' men and women who came out to represent the 80's.
The best dressed with the best moves won a $300 gift certificate to Next Adventure. Second runner up went home with a night ski season pass at Mt. Hood Ski Bowl and third got a night's stay in Collin's Lake Resort. Not too shabby!
Thanks to everyone who came! Enjoy the video clip, representing some of Next Adventure's finest.

The New, New Paddle Center
Shop News | Kayaking|
Attention Next Adventure Paddle Sport Customers: The Paddlesports Center has moved again!! Just as we were getting used to our new digs, we have moved to a new location at: 704 SE Washington St. Portland, OR 97214 This spot is just around the corner from our old location and offers a much larger retail area to display our goods. |
We were all teed up to buy the building on Stark St, but found some structural and environmental challenges. Because these issues take time to resolve, it made sense for us to vacate the space while the issues are being handled.
We are now open and ready to serve you at the new space although we may still be hanging product for the first few weeks. So come see our newest store and thanks for your support. Who knows what the future holds with the new building or the old…it’s always an adventure at Next Adventure!

Luke Spencer in the NYC: Interview on the Today Show
