NRS, leading manufacturer of paddlesports accessories and inflatable watercraft, debuted its spring 2015 line at this month’s Summer Market Outdoor Retailer Show. New additions to the NRS product line include two new footwear models, the Crush andVelocity, which perform both on and off the water. In an effort to raise the bar for women’s paddling gear, NRS has created arguably the most comfortable women’s PFD on the market, the Siren, with a low-profile design and anatomical fit. For paddlers who prefer on-demand flotation, the Zephyr PFD brings a new level of comfort and efficiency with its no-fuss design that stays out of the way.
NRS is also excited to introduce their proprietary Axis Technology for their entire inflatable SUP line, including the new Adventurer and Imperial boards. Axis is an acrylic stiffener that adds rigidity and efficiency to inflatable boards without adding weight. This new technology helps to make the brand’s inflatable SUP boards some of the most efficient inflatable boards on the market.
“With our new spring 2015 offerings, we’re aiming to bring game-changing gear to the paddling market and continue to deliver the best products for the paddling community for both on and off the river,” states Mark Deming, NRS Marketing Communications Manager.
Men’s and Women’s Crush Shoe (MSRP $79.95)
Versatile, technical shoe that looks just as good at the bar as it performs out on the water. NRS combined rugged materials, smart details and signature Idaho style to make the Crush a go-to shoe, day-in day-out, trip after trip, on and off the water.
Velocity Shoe (MSRP $109.95)
Rough and rugged adventure creeking shoe built for long portages and scrambling scouting missions. NRS’s updated and improved replacement for the popular Attack shoe is supportive for harsh portages, sticky for rock-to-rock scrambling, and durable for long bushwhacking.

NRS’ new, female-specific PFD, the Siren, is arguably the most comfortable, low-profile, women’s PFD available today. Six panel design and six adjustment points effortlessly wrap the body for super comfortable fit, and a large front pocket holds all the necessities for a day of paddling.
Zephyr PFD (MSRP $99.95)

Imperial SUPs ($1,095 & 1,295)
