GEARLAB Paddles announces collaboration with SEA SHEPHERD

For more than 40 years, Sea Shepherd has worked diligently to end the destruction of open water habitat and the slaughter of wildlife in the world’s oceans in order to conserve and protect ecosystems and species. For this agreement, 100 percent of the profits per sale will be donated to Sea Shepherd.

Gearlab paddles are designed, produced, and tested by a team of industrial engineers who are passionate about outdoor adventures, especially paddling. These top-of-the-line paddles enhance speed, agility, and promote adventure and fun on the water. Gearlab is an outdoor-focused company that believes by introducing more people to the outdoors and adventure this will inherently drive the passion to protect nature’s assets.

“While we can’t change the world, we start by making changes within our community,” said Chung-Shih. “This program is a natural fit for the group at Gearlab. The team is made up of activists and avid outdoor supporters, Gearlab organizes company-sponsored activities, including trail and ocean cleanups and promotes Leave No Trace policies. Gearlab also creates outreach programs, Outdoor experiences are especially hard to come by for youngsters in urban Asia, where many tend to be isolated from nature. We work to change this.”
