EXTREMEGB LAUNCHES FOR ACTION, ADVENTURE AND ADRENALINE ADDICTS.
If your idea of a great day out is waking up in hospital the next morning – then you need to grab your crutches and head for your PC.
GB Group has launched possibly the world's most adrenaline-filled website: www.extremegb.com - catering for the demands of extreme sportsmen and women at every level of capability.
"If you want to snowboard out of the loading bay of an aircraft, land on a mountain, make camp at 10,000 feet, slide down to the tree level, hike for three days through jungle for some white water rafting down to a handy ocean for some scuba diving and underwater photography, then sail home in time for tea – we can help," said Edward Giles, Managing Director of GB Group.
"If you just want to give the impression that you do that sort of thing every weekend, then we also have in stock everything you need.
"The difference is that much of our team has been there and done those adventures – so we don't just stop at selling you the gear, we can advise on whether what you're buying is the right gear for the job," added Edward.
Extremegb.com is the umbrella site for all of GB Group's action and adventure sports products – sailing equipment, outdoor essentials and watches.
"Most sportspeople, adventurers and adrenaline seekers know that within every equipment market sector there are mainstream brands and products, but there are also specialist names and equipment that are known primarily by those ‘in the know'.
"Our goal has been to seek out the best, most effective, no-nonsense, safe, tough and reliable products that most people simply haven't heard of," said Edward.
"For instance, which regular high street shoppers for sports or outdoor goods would have come across Suunto? It may look like a typo, but they're actually a Finnish watch and GPS equipment manufacturer, and produce timepieces that can measure your golf swing, tell you your heart rate, how high up a mountain you are – or where you are in that impenetrable jungle to within a few feet.
"Or maybe Deuter backpacks? They've been around for more than a century – and no self-respecting extreme outdoors person would be without their equipment.
"We have a vast range of such products – and the advice to go with them."
ExtremeGB is part of the GB Group, an established online retailer providing marine equipment (www.sailgb.com), outdoor equipment (www.outdoorgb.com) and sports watches (www.watchesgb.com)
