Our
Story & What Keeps Us Excited!
At Adventurous Fast Rivers Rafting, outdoor
adventure is our passion and sharing it is our dream. We, Steven &
Sue Matz, had a very unique opportunity to get out of "Corporate
America" and live in the great outdoors of Western North Carolina!
Steven (a seasoned paddler) got an email about a rafting business for
sale, called Sue at work and we were here the next weekend checking out
Fast Rivers. We knew from the moment we pulled in that this was the life
for us -- No matter what it took! We went back to the Atlanta area, put
our house up for sale, explained that we were not crazy to our family,
friends and neighbors, stocked up on canned goods (just in case) and happily
turned in our business suits and dresses for cut-off shorts and T-shirts
and off we went to begin our new life on the Nantahala River! You see,
we met at a summer camp in Hendersonville and the love for this area never
left us. So 19 years later, we find ourselves celebrating our 11th season
on the river with our (back up to) 4 lovable dogs and 2 awesome kids (or
some say our greeting committee) and over a dozen seasonal employees who
all share our passion and love for the outdoors. We are personally here
at our outpost everyday to show you that we truly appreciate your business
and are committed to providing you with a positive white-water experience.
Our competitive edge is our position on customer service allowing us to
continue to build a business that is based on long-standing relationships
with satisfied customers. We work hard to ensure your satisfaction and
value the trust you put in our company.
| We are gearing up for another amazing
season and are very excited to see all of our friends again. And
as always, it is so great to meet many, many new ones. The people
are truly what keeps us going and makes our business worthwhile!
We absolutely love it!
Every year, we try to tweak the areas that will
aid in our continued growth! This year, we have added yet more new
boats and funyaks to the fleet. We are still excited about the self
bailing raft we added to better accommodate the request for a 9-man
raft.
Our family (Landon, Sophie, Ellie, Lucy, Sport
& Flower) are doing wonderful. In September, we decided it was
time for Landon to have his own puppy (hence Sport) and that same
week we picked up an 8 week old puppy from a ditch (hence Flower
for Sophie)! So we are back up to 4 dogs to greet you! As for the
non-furry kiddies, we are so enjoying our time with them; watching
them grow & learn and challenge us daily. It is also a thrill
having our customers watch them grow from season to season reminding
us to cherish every moment because they go by so fast. So thank
you again for all of the reminders because we cannot be told enough
to just live in the moment!
As always, helping you & your group to have
fun is what we are here for. So please contact us with any Nantahala
Rafting questions or suggestions. Customer feedback is extremely
important to us & greatly appreciated. It is what helps us to
continue to be successful in providing you with the best overall
experience!
Again, thanks to everyone who continues to make
our business what it is today. We truly appreciate each and every
one of you. We look forward to seeing you on the river with us over
and over again! And remember, we believe the most important trip
down the river is yours... |
Come & Enjoy
