We are stoked to announce that Impact Fenders is partnering with three athletes who are absolutely crushing it in the watersports world. We’re proud to support them with the boat protection gear they need, so they can stay focused on training and having fun on the path to becoming the world’s best.
Keep an eye out for Impact Fenders on their boats and docks, and join us in cheering them on.
Making boat fenders and dock bumpers is more than just what we do; it’s an expression of our water-loving lifestyle. And even though we’re still a start-up in the boating industry, one of our top priorities is to support athletes who are pushing for excellence and sharing the joy of their sport.
Introducing the first ever Impact Fenders “Team of Athletes.”
