A North East watersports company has expanded with the opening of its own retail store on a Tyneside industrial estate.
CBK Adventures has invested a five-figure sum into the launch of its 1,200sqft Base Camp facility on the West Chirton Industrial Estate, which serves the region’s growing paddling, surfing and wild swimming communities. The hub also has training facilities, which will be used to deliver accredited watersports training courses, from the likes of British Canoeing, and first aid training.
The retail store features over 2,500 products, including kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, wetsuits, and wild swimming accessories. Brands on the shelves include newcomers Starboard SUPs, Lifesystems Outdoor Survival and eco-clothing company, Bleubird. Base Camp will also act as a click-and-collect point for the company’s online retail store.
