Welcome to Gumby Gear – where adventure meets fun, and everyone is invited to the party!
Meet Hallie and Maya, the dynamic duo behind the scenes. Fresh out of college – Hallie with her artsy cap from the design world, and Maya, who delves into the depths of our minds with her psychology degree – these two have been inseparable since their paths crossed in 2017. But it’s not just their friendship that’s epic; it’s their shared passion for everything outdoors. From guiding rivers to scaling cliffs, shredding slopes to biking mountains, and exploring trails to founding a roller-skating club that took their high school by storm, they’ve done it all.
And through it all, they knew they were destined for greatness.
Enter the brainchild of 2023: a hat created by Hallie (the creative force). After flying off the shelves at her college store, Hallie knew she was on to something big. Maya seeing this success immediately jumped on the bandwagon (like best friends do) and together they started thinking of other things they could make and how this might be able to help people get outside.
Thus Gumby Gear was born. Why Gumby gear you might ask? Well, every sport has its niche group. Both Hallie and Maya discovered this from their desire to try new things and learn the lingo of new communities.
Breaking into those circles can feel daunting. The last thing anyone wants is to look like a newbie or to disrespect the sport. (But how are we supposed to know the rules when they are unspoken!?) In skiing that person is called a Jerry. In surfing, a Kook. In climbing, it’s a Gumby.
This is where we come in. Gumby Gear is all about smashing those barriers, making the great outdoors accessible, and reminding everyone that we all started somewhere. It’s about creating a welcoming community, where the seasoned pros and the newbies share the stage.
From mountaintops to backyard campouts, sponsored skiers to folks who tumble off the ski lift – Gumby Gear is for you. Our mission? To connect people with nature, foster respect for our sports and planet, and spread a little kindness along the way. We’re here to protect the playgrounds we adore and invite everyone to join in the fun.
So, whether you’re looking to conquer new heights or just enjoy a sunny day in the park, Gumby Gear has your back. Let’s step outside, embrace the adventure, and remember – the great outdoors is for all of us.
