We’re properly stoked to be here! What I love about Aussies is that you guys have camping fully-dialed. Swags, utes, endless coastlines, and lots of red earth to make your mark. Being outside isn’t just a hobby. It’s part of your life.

And that’s exactly why we’re here. We didn’t sit in a boardroom and say, “Let’s expand into Australia.” We’ve got mates there. We’ve spent heaps of time there. Canadians and Australians are so similar, eh — we all grew up understanding that getting outside isn’t optional —it’s necessary.

After a successful post-launch summer in North America, we kept hearing things like:
“How do we get an AirNEST down here?”
“That tent looks unreal.”
“Sort us out.”

The conversations kept flowing and the messages kept coming. So of course we listened to you guys. And here we are.

RISE was built on a simple idea: shelter and sleep should work together so you can spend less time messing around with gear and more time livin’ the dream. That mindset fits naturally with how you already camp. Practical and straightforward with no bloody drama. That’s the attitude we like.

You signed up early and scored $150 off — so here’s your nudge: redeem your gift here and let’s get your AirNEST with you on your next adventure. We’d love to see it pitched up along your coastlines, tucked into the bush, parked beside a dusty track somewhere proper.

From me to you guys, I want you to know we respect the way you do things, and we’re glad to finally be part of the conversation.

Thanks for being here early, it means a lot. Let’s see where this goes.

With Respect,

Todd
