PaddlePoint
is an online resource for paddlers, regardless of skill or
experience, looking for information and for high
quality products that will help enhance their kayaking experience.
Untamed Adventure has collaborated with PaddlePoint on kayak
outfitting and PaddlePoint has sourced boats for several of the races
we've organized over the years. PaddlePoint has gone out of their way to
demo boats, stage gear, and even serve as safety paddlers for some
of our more adventurous water challenges.
Hilleberg the Tentmaker has manufactured
backpacking and mountaineering tents of the highest quality for 30 years. Their ultralight
shelters are perfect for weight-conscious adventurers and we, at Untamed Adventure, are
big fans. Hilleberg designs products based on their personal interest in wilderness camping
and the end result is some of the finest lightweight shelters you can buy.
The Virginia Sea Kayak Center
is a premiere paddle school and outfitter based at the convergence of the
Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean. They've helped Team Untamed Adventure work on their paddle skills
and proper gear selection; they approach adventure race paddling from the combined perspective of
professional paddlers and adventure racers -- which makes the VA Sea Kayak Center
the perfect choice for paddling in the mid-Atlantic! Let them build a custom curriculum for you and
take your paddling to the next level!
Contes Virginia Beach have supported Team Untamed Adventure is a number of ways. Their
mechanics, with pro credentials and experience with elite cycling teams, have supported us with bikes,
components, insight, and expert tune-up assistance. They've gone out of their way to help us, for example
they invested hours finding just the right seat-post-carrier to fit Sherry's WSD mountain bike. Check them
out if you're looking for bike expertise in Virginia Beach!

New Balance makes some of
the best shoes,
so it's no wonder we primarily race in New Balance
trail runners. With sizing options to suit wide or narrow feet, and
rugged design, we've never been disappointed with a pair of NB in our gear
bins!
Gary Fisher has been building bikes in the USA for 25
years, and always with an eye toward innovation. That passion for innovation is what brought Gary
Fisher into the Untamed Adventure circle; the cutting edge sport of adventure racing
seemed a perfect fit for the Fisher mountain bikes, and the rest is history (and some lactic acid).
Gary Fisher was the first to
mass produce the 29-inch mountain bike wheel, and their current 29" geometry frames go hand-in-hand
with adventure racing.
Axis Gear supports Untamed Adventure, and the sport of
adventure racing in general, by
providing top of the line custom racing apparel. In 2006 as Team HRAdventure, we selected
Axis Gear as the source for our custom race jerseys and we've been very pleased with the results.
Not only does Axis Gear have some of the
highest quality custom jerseys and shirts, they sew all their garments in Canada from
fabrics milled in the USA. Another great reason to work with this adventure-friendly business!
