A New Chapter for Final Frontier Sports
A New Chapter for Final Frontier Sports
In 2019, I was just getting into caving. Scurion headlamps weren't available in the United States, and a friend and I decided to fix that. After several late nights and a few too many drinks, we landed on the name Final Frontier Sports, bought the domain, and launched a bare-bones Squarespace site selling Scurions.
Word spread and sales trickled in. We reinvested everything back into the company — stocking gear we used ourselves and brands customers kept asking for. The site grew, and we grew with it, bouncing through platforms and building as we went.
In the summer of 2024, I bought out my business partner. With that came a clear-eyed look at where FFS was headed — and the realization that a rebrand was overdue. We launched a new site, addressed a lot of long-standing issues, and for a while it worked. But FFS was scaling faster than I anticipated adding new niche brands and mainstream companies. The site we'd just built was already showing its limits. And then we discovered our logo had inadvertently borrowed from existing designs. The decision was made: start fresh and do it right.
We brought in a professional team and built something we're genuinely proud of. The new FFS identity draws from the landscapes we operate in — the colors of the desert, the depth of the caves, the lines of the peaks. It reflects both where this company started and where it's going.
The new site runs on Shopify — the same platform behind many of the brands you already shop. That means no more inventory glitches, no more checkout errors, and a shopping experience that finally matches the quality of the gear we carry.
Introducing the FFS Affiliate Program
FFS is launching an affiliate program built around the people who actually use this gear. Write a trip report. Post a gear review. Share your experience on the blog — and earn a percentage of every sale generated through your content. If you mention a piece of gear and someone buys it, that's your commission.
We're looking for cavers, canyoners, and climbers who have real things to say about the gear they trust underground and on rope. This blog is the start of that. Our long-term vision is a full community forum — a place where the people who do these things talk to each other, not at each other.
If you're interested in becoming an affiliate, stay tuned — details are coming soon.
What's Next
We have one more announcement in the works that we think the community is going to love. We're not ready to share it yet, but it involves used gear and the idea that good equipment shouldn't sit in a garage when someone else could be putting it to use. More soon.
Adventuring Light: We're also excited to announce a new partnership with Adventuring Light. She's an exceptional caver and a genuine voice in the community, and we're looking forward to sharing more of her perspective here. She's also started featuring us in her content and we can't wait to announce more.
