Chums

Paddling Division

Chums were created by a Raft Guide who was sick of losing endless pairs of sunglasses to the Colorado River. Now, more than 35 years later we're still on the river in the same place it all started, helping Rafting Guides save their sunglasses and River Rats keep their gear dry.

Living in the back of a VW van, that raft guide used a $60 sewing machine to create the very first Chums retainers.
