Jim Archibald, owner of Archie’s Surf Shop in Ontario, Canada added, “Surf Expo has been hugely instrumental in our success. Zoom calls have worked, but it doesn’t replace the in-person contact.” While attendance is expected to decrease somewhat due to travel restrictions and store closures, the overwhelming response from retailers is that they need inventory, and want an in-person show. Retailers from all across the United States and Caribbean are registered to attend.Īllyson Catanzaro, buyer and boutique manager at La Playa Beach and Golf Resort in Naples, Fla., said, “I am looking forward to attending Surf Expo to see vendors in person and to be able to touch and feel product. At around 120,000 net square feet, the reduced footprint will allow for approximately 420 exhibitors with increased aisle space for distancing. The West Concourse will provide space for social distancing plus multiple entry and exit points to the show floor, a more favorable floorplan, and easier move in and move out for exhibitors. ![]() “Our top priority is to reunite the industry together safely. Our team is committed to creating an experience where we can safely and effectively conduct business,” said Surf Expo Show Director and SVP Roy Turner.
