As we inch closer to warmer temperatures, thoughts inevitably turn to all things sunny! While we might have a little while before we take up summer activities and hit the water, it’s never too early to be prepared.
For everyone from newbie to pro, and youth to adult, NorthLine Sports in Leaside offers everything you need for water sports equipment as well as biking and skateboarding.
Into water skiing, wake boarding, paddle boarding, kite surfing, kayaking, windsurfing and other water sports? NorthLine can be your one-stop destination.
The store also has you covered for PFDs (personal floatation devices), sunscreen, sandals, biking needs, tuneups and repairs. And while we’re still hovering in slightly colder conditions, NorthLine also offers all things ski and snowboard along with clothing, backpacks and more.
Located at 109 Vanderhoof Ave., NorthLine is actually a merger between two longtime and trusted companies, Boardsports and Sport Swap. With a massive 9,000 sq. ft. of retail, the store has both new and used gear for all ages, from kids to adults.
To keep the equipment costs for your growing youth in check, NorthLine offers a two-year Junior Half Back Program. Any new or used junior bike, ski, board or boot can be returned in the two years from date of purchase and qualifies for a credit of half the original purchase price.
The store also has swap events for all age groups taking place multiple times a year and offers a great opportunity to sell your items or pick up used equipment for a good price. Upcoming swaps will take place on May 23, June 20 and August 29.
According to NorthLine’s general manager, Eric (“Mac”) McKinnon, “the key to Northline is that our staff are all riders. We take part and love the sports that we offer, and take pride in helping our customers get the right gear so that they can have as much fun as we do, and keep coming back.”
Staff offer customers expert advice, help them choose gear tailored to their needs, ensure correct fitting and provide instruction on how to set up and maintain equipment to extend its lifespan.
And if you’re wondering about including all your family members in your summer fun, NorthLine also offers PFDs for your dogs.
Bring on summer!
