Ever been to SURF EXPO?
If not, here’s what you’ve been missing and why YOU should be there this Jan. 11-14.

WHATS ALL THE BUZZ ABOUT?
Surf EXPO is the largest and longest running sports retailers trade shows in the U.S. and has been gaining momentum with each year passing.
As the extreme sports generation continues to grow older, they’ve developed new products and offerings that were no more than a thought 10-15 years ago, products which are now fueling the surf, snow, skate and fashion scene like never before, and Surf Expo is their avenue to showcase these products to the public, buyers, store owners and distributors from across the country.
Extreme sports are here to stay and if you want to leave your mark in this industry, Surf Expo is THE place to be seen.

WHO’S THERE?
For buyers, Surf Expo is the best place to view all your favorite lines from the “big guys” such as Roxy, Billabong, O’Neill, Lucy Love, Ripcurl & Hot Tuna… just like the halls of Surf Expo, this list is almost endless.
But what you’ll especially like about Surf Expo, is the opportunity to see brands that you’ve never heard of before, brands that are excited to grow and expand, working with each individual buyer to really feel their vision and help them incorporate new ideas and offerings for their business.
You’ll find everything from jewelry,clothing, footwear & home décor to extensive skate, surf and snow apparel and accessories; everything you can imagine to make your retailing space different from the shop down the street.

Newcomers to keep an eye out for this January include Harrison Beach Jewelry, offering Bohemian style jewelry that’s affordable & attractive to the consumer, Powerski Jetboards – they’re revolutionizing the personal watercraft industry, ReRip.com offering pre-owned action sports gear for surf, skate and snow, Hot Lava Glass Co., hand crafted glass pendants, charms & sculptures, Ocean Lifestyles with eyewear, footwear, apparel and accessories galore to SURF CHILD – a new face in the rapidly growing children’s surf apparel industry; appealing to the Surf Child in all of us, just to name a few.

A WAY TO NETWORK AND CONNECT
For those well established in the industry, you’ll want to be at Surf Expo to reconnect with other business owners across the country, while also making new business connections and relationships with those you’ve only spoken to previously on the phone and to project that you truly are a vital part of the growing sports industry.

VALUABLE MEDIA SOURCES
Among all the networking, handshaking and buzz surrounding Surf Expo, you’ll also find the media out in full force. Deals are made, products and companies promoted and in return you’ll be able to check out the latest and greatest issues of all your favorite surf and action sports magazines. And with the friendliest staff around, people like Vicki Vassil and Jill Lassiter will make you feel right at home and as valuable and important to the industry as you really are.
Be there, be seen, make an impact or simply gain knowledge of the industry itself… whatever you do, DON’T MISS SURF EXPO, it’s THE place to do business in 2007.
