In addition to getting business done safely, there will be a full track of education, fashion shows, skate park contests, a Wakeboard Pro Tour event, WSL in the house with Rip Curl, sustainability exhibition by UNIFI/REPREVE, our industry party sponsored by 4ocean and much more. Roy Turner: While I would not begin to call any show in the current climate normal, I can say that we are once again bringing together key buyers and sellers in the surf and related beach and resort industries for what will be an incredibly valuable show. How will this show compare to a typical September show pre-pandemic? That said, the continued registrations we are seeing heading into the show reaffirm that buyers will be coming. Some people will not be comfortable traveling and some stores are affected by lack of staff, which could force some owners to stay home and man their stores. We understand that attendance will be affected by COVID. We could easily see 6,000 qualified buyers preregistered before the show opens.


Roy Turner: We surpassed our preregistration projections more than a week ago and people continue to sign up daily. The brands really stepped up their game by committing to Surf Expo September in a big way, we are excited to present a great lineup to the buyers. All in all, we have a great selection of brands for our buyers. We also have 60-plus brands showing at Surf Expo for the first time. Our boutique, gift and resort sections have all the anchor brands participating as well.

In wake, we have Ronix, Radar, Centurion, Supreme, Moomba, Supra, Yamaha and WOW Watersports.
