Built for the people who'd rather be outside.

Gear Wave started with a garage full of paddle boards used twice a year, a friend who really wanted to try kayaking, and the obvious question: why isn't this easier?

Most outdoor gear sits idle 95% of the time. Meanwhile new adventurers stare at $1,500 price tags and decide to stay home. We're fixing that — one trusted neighbor-to-neighbor rental at a time.

We're a small team of builders, paddlers, climbers, and skiers based across mountain towns and coasts. We're building the marketplace we wished existed every time we tried to plan a weekend trip.
