Surf Expo: Day Two

Day two of the trip, day one of the show. With an initial 18 hours of homework out of the way, it was time to hit the first day of the show...

Surf Expo takes place in a giant convention center. The sheer size of it is mind boggling - at least to those of us who aren't used to it. Erin, entering the pod.

Seminar stage, bikini catwalk...waiting for the keynote speaker.

Surfboards. Take your pick.

Zap Skimboards. Sick skimboards.
We have been a good dealer for them, and they have been good for us.

Traditionally, this is why you come.

A big draw at Expo seems to be the skate park area. Tourist souvenirs? Boring.

The action is at this end - grab a beer and watch the kids drop an 8 set.

Did someone say beer? Patrons lining up for free brews at Volcom's tent.
Funny how that seems to attract a crowd.

A long day ended at dinner for us. Bad lighting, good food; hawaiian-style grub and a good night sleep will set us straight for tomorrow.

See you then.
