Naski was founded by a husband and wife with a shared passion for outdoor adventures and a commitment to providing exceptional gear that will withstand whatever the mountains throw your way. We recognised a need for a snowsports store in the Cardiff area and set out to fill that gap. Naski is our way of living in Wales but still being in the ski industry.
After leaving university Naski's founder, John, decided he would go on a ski season before finding a 'real' job, so he packed his bags and went to Japan to work as a ski and snowboard instructor. From Japan he followed the winter to New Zealand and for the next couple of years travelled between the two. As he spent more time in the mountains, John realised his interests lay more in the backcountry and trained to become a backcountry guide in Japan, whilst working as a ski patroller in New Zealand. After returning to the UK he worked in retail, fitting boots and servicing skis.
With all these years working and living in mountain environments we know what is important when you're out in the mountains. That's why we carefully curate our selection to include only the best products from trusted brands. Many of our products are made from sustainable or recycled materials, so look out for the recycle symbol on these products. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting your outdoor journey, we have the gear you need to take on any adventure with confidence.
Having worked and lived in ski boots for so long, we know that a correctly fitting boot is of upmost importance, both for comfort and performance. At Naski we'll spent the time with you to ensure you get the perfect fit and if you have any issues with your boot in the future, we'll adjust the boot free of charge.
Our commitment to exceptional customer service sets Naski apart. We believe in providing personalised assistance to help you find the right gear for your trip. Our team is always ready to answer your questions and provide guidance, ensuring that you make an informed decision. We look forward to seeing you in our Cardiff store sometime soon.
