| The growing community of wild swimmers, paddle boarders and surfers along the region's coast is aiding growth at a popular North East watersports company, which has opened a new retail store.
CBK Adventures was launched in 2014, operating from a small shop in Cullercoats which is known for its kayak tours along the River Tyne, and seal-spotting expeditions around St Mary's Lighthouse in Whitley Bay.
Now the firm has hundreds of products on sale at its new Base Camp store, which also has training facilities to be used to deliver watersports training courses, from the likes of British Canoeing, and first aid training.
Simon Laing, founder and director of CBK Adventures, said: "Base Camp marks the culmination of months of hard work and planning. Our vision is to create a unique retail experience where watersports lovers can shop for tried and trusted brands and speak to experts who use these products day in and day out on the water. Whether you are new to paddling or an experienced pro, our hand-selected ranges offer something for everyone." Read the full story here. |
