Located on Power Road and Main Street in the heart of East Mesa, Redline Rentals and Sales has come a long way from those two used kayaks they bought on OfferUp to becoming one of the premier water sports companies in the area.
Redline rents kayaks, paddle boards, other personal watercrafts, and even e-bikes, for people to use to explore the lakes and wilderness areas around them. Redline, in addition to providing you with the most thrilling and beautiful experiences on Arizona’s most pristine bodies of water, is also laser focused on giving back to the community, and being a good corporate citizen.
“It’s easy for us to serve the community because we are the community,” said Jeremy Schroeder, owner of Redline Rentals and Sales in East Mesa. “We are Arizona born and raised. We love our state and the people in it,” Jeremy continued. “We try to give back by discounting rentals for different organizations such as Ability 360 and other groups.”
Beyond providing water experiences second to none and being a good corporate citizen, Redline has also recruited people to help in a massive effort to remove trash from the bottom of Canyon Lake. They even throw in free kayaks for use during the lake cleanup projects as part of the SWATT Team or the Salty Scuba Squad.
“We are raising awareness to these groups in hope to increase volunteers and donations to the 501c3 nonprofit Salty Scuba Squad, in the hopes people join cleanup groups like the SWATT Team or Natural Restorations. They are cleaning the river more than ever before and we want to support this and keep this effort moving forward,” Jeremy said.
“The Lower Salt River is a beautiful riparian area that needs to be appreciated. Tourism is a major factor in the economy of the surrounding cities as many people travel to the Phoenix metropolitan area to visit the Salt River.
We do not want tourists going back to their hometown talking about the trash they see at the river,” he continued. “This is why all cities and anyone who is involved in the tourism industry should donate to the Salty Scuba Squad. This is our goal for this year to get them more donations.” Redline is a premier water equipment rental and outfitter, but for Jeremy, the company’s mission runs deeper.
“We feel we stand out because we don’t just support the community, we are members of it. Our core values are professionalism, knowledge, teamwork, and environmental awareness,” he said.
“We incorporate these values into not just our business but our way of life. We plant seeds of safety and environmental education and awareness. We lead by example with hopes that others will follow the trend that we want to set. When you come to Redline you don’t just rent our equipment, you get to experience our way of life, our knowledge, and our culture. A surf shop in the desert.”
