Who We Are

History

Founded in 1997 as Beauty Mountain Sports, we have provided local paddlers with all they need to experience West Virginia’s whitewater for over 20 years. Ace Adventure Gear has become one of the east coast’s premier paddling outfitters. Now offering a wide selection of outdoor gear and apparel, we are your one-stop shop for all things adventure.

More Than Just Paddle Sports

Although we started as a paddlesports shop, we now offer products for various outdoor adventures, including fishing, camping, hiking, and running. We pride ourselves on providing you with not only extensive knowledge of our products but also insight on local recommendations and advice on gear. In addition to equipment sales, our stand-up paddleboard and recreational kayak rentals let you enjoy the rivers and lakes of New River Gorge National Park from a new perspective, and paddlers can test new crafts from our extensive demo fleet before making purchasing decisions. With a passion for recreation and a love for nature, we want to get you geared up for all the area has to offer. So stop by from 9 to 7, seven days a week, throughout the year to chat gear and adventure with any of our sales associates.

Brittany Schiermeyer

Retail Shop Manager, Merchandising

Hailing from Missouri, but now calling the New River Gorge her home, Brit joined our team in 2022 and now helps keep the shop looking fresh year round. With years of experience in retail, and a background specifically in merchandising, she rounds out our year round team perfectly. Catch her learning the kayak basics, having fun in inflatables, or enjoying a nice SUP float around the lake. If there’s candy in the shop and you grab some, you owe Brit a thank you!
