Wichita, KA - The definition of an athlete has been changing over the
years. Earlier, only professionals who ran track and field events
subscribed to that term. Over the last few years, however, ordinary
people have taken their hobby of the outdoors to new levels. Social
media has helped them find partners to indulge in outdoor activities,
and an overall increase in our society’s awareness of fitness has helped
foster this growth. Sporting goods manufacturers and retailers have
stepped up to the challenge and have created new lines of products
suited to the everyday athlete.
Taking this newfound passion for
fitness into consideration, a new online store has been launched with a
whole new range of products suitable for new-age hobbies and activities.
Earl, the founder of the site, calls himself an outdoors man, with a
keen interest in camping, hiking, trekking, skiing, and more. Using that
as a platform, he wanted to create a store which appeals to others like
him, and the result is Earl’s Sports
Gear. Launching this week, this new store aspires to stock products
that are suitable for the everyday athlete. There are ranges of products
available today which enrich every hobby and make the outdoorsmuch more
enjoyable. Hiking, for instance, today has GPS devices, trail finders
on smartphones via several apps, specialty shoes, quick dry wear,
lightweight backpacks, trail sticks with flashlights, and much more.
Compared to what hikers used a decade or so ago, this is a whole new
level!
Hiking is just an example. All the popular outdoor
activities – skiing, snowboarding, surfing, trekking, camping,
snorkeling, scuba diving – have their own ranges of products available
today. And in addition to these, there are whole new activities that
have emerged. Activities like Snowshoeing, White water rafting,
Windsurfing, Kitesurfing, Bungee jumping, Climbing, which were not
popular earlier have found a new audience with this generation of
fitness freaks. And sporting goods manufacturers have created ranges for
these and more! The biggest contribution, however, has come from
science. Social sites and smartphones have made these activities much
more enjoyable. Specialty apps for each of these activities find places,
partners, and provide great information for enthusiasts. Coupling this
information with specially made products help the athlete enjoy the
hobby even more.
