One of the best things about real outdoor companies is that we are real outdoor people. We spend time in the same environment that our equipment is made for. Our work takes us beyond the desk and factory floor. When that happens, our field office enables North Water to do what we do best - making gear that is truly built for life. One recent trip was to the Outdoor Retailer show in Salt Lake City, Utah. Here are some photos of the trip back from Outdoor Retailer 2012. We went into the Salmon River Valley, through Idaho, as well as Montana, Utah and southern British Columbia - of course. When not on a trade-show expedition, our North Water Field Office is used to access remote areas, visit dealers, as well as provide a base camp for paddling and general expedition use related to on going promotion of North Water gear and equipment. If you see us on the road, be sure to honk a hello. Paddles up - if you see us on the river! Click here to see the specs and inside scoop on our North Water Field Office - it defies expectations!
