Welcome to THRILL APPEAL

Here at Thrill Appeal our mission is to make action sports and outdoor adventure super accessible. We believe that everyone should be able to experience and enjoy all that the world of action sports can offer, whether they are young or old. We knew that we wanted to help people learn more about these types of sports and activities, so we had an idea for a site that could become a repository of useful and fun information.

Thrill Appeal was born out of our passion and enthusiasm for outdoor sports and fun. We aim to be the place to visit when learning about outdoor action sports and adventure. We have a wide range of different types of information and content already on the site about numerous topics like bodyboards, kayaks, bikes, wetsuits, scooters, snowshoes, avalanche beacons and so much more.

We offer up in depth how to guides, gear reviews, and comparisons on some of the most interesting sports activities in the world. Whether you want to learn how to skateboard, find the best scooter, or the learn the difference between a longboard and regular skateboard we’ve got you covered.

What is it about these types of sports that are so appealing? There are a number of things, to be honest. Many people today love the idea of getting away from their screens and heading out into the natural world to enjoy all that it offers. With this site, we’ve provided you with the guidance you need to enjoy adventure sports and open up a world of possibilities.
