About Us

Eb's Source For Adventure is Saskatoon's destination for the outdoor enthusiast. Eb started the business in 1973 because of his passion for sailing and cross country skiing. The store has gone through a few name changes to reflect our direction, originally called Eb’s Boat and Ski Shop to Eb’s Sailcraft & Cross Country Skis to Eb’s Sail & Sports. In the fall of 2006 the name changed to Eb’s Source for Adventure. Today James and Kevin have expanded the product selection to also include canoes, kayaks, snowshoes, camping equipment, and any gear needed to go along with these activities.
