Traveling with your surf/snow boards is a hassle, but surfing or
snowboarding with rental gear is never ideal. Well now, San-Fran-based
company Awayco, is
hoping to bring an end to this problem with its membership platform, by
allowing travelers to reserve top-quality boards and other gear from the
Awayco site and pick it up from an approved specialty retailer on
location. They partner with the best brands and only work with premium
equipment, so you can travel lighter and discover and try new equipment
before you buy. Originally launched in 2017 with surf gear, the popular
outdoor gear platform has recently expanded its offering into skis,
snowboards, and splitboards (with bikes soon to come) in North America,
Europe and Japan. No more buying the wrong equipment, no more aging gear
collecting dust in the garage, and no more excess-baggage fees.
