Warm weather is upon us (or will be soon)! With this, we have a host of new gear and trends to share.

These latter trends may seem small, but as the number of people that are venturing out has exploded, its small steps forward in comfort, like these, that will keep those people coming back for years to come.

In order to grow participation in the sports we love, we need to move beyond the ‘typical’ influencer and ambassador profile.

While it may take a bit more time and effort, it will pay dividends on multiple levels.
