Legacy Paddlesports moving to Fletcher

The company’s current headquarters and main manufacturing operations are in Greensboro, he said. The company also owns liquidlogic, a small operations center on Crest Road off Upward Road in Flat Rock. One of Legacy’s premium lines of kayaks, liquidlogic was born in an old farmhouse near the Green River in 2001.

liquidlogic teamed up with Legacy Paddlesports in 2007, Medlin said. Woody Callaway, Shane Benedict and Bryon Phillips were part of the founding team at liquidlogic. They, along with Mike Hooks, one of the founders of Legacy/Native Watercraft, comprise the company’s executive team.

When renovations to the 130,000-square-foot facility near the intersection of Old Airport and Cane Creek Roads are complete, the Greensboro and Flat Rock operations will all be under one roof, he added. The site was formerly a GO Grocery distribution center and before that was the site of the old Kellwood textile company.

“We will begin preparing that facility as early as next week,” Medlin said. “We will begin hiring in February, initially 40 to 50 folks. We are looking to be around 100 employees by this time next year. Most of the redevelopment and relocation will be happening in June and July. By July 31, we will have everybody in our operations here.”

I wanted to write a story about the outfitting because there are a couple questions that people ask that I would like to cover. While I am at it I'll just cover everything about the outfitting. If you have any questions let'em fly in the comments section. Bad Ass Outfitting came out of a desire to make a seat for a kayak that would give you complete control, and total comfort. The idea came from looking at race car seats . They are one body contoured seat that keeps the driver in a performance driving position but is also comfortable enough that they can be in their cars for hours at a time. Other parts that we worked really hard on were making the outfitting easy to adjust and durable enough to take a beating. Because kayakers are impatient, and...
