S18_Jim Beisel, Retail Director/ Red Sail Sports Grand Cayman

“We work a lot of gift and apparel shows, but Surf Expo is still the place we spend the biggest percentage of our Open to Buy each year. The amount of resort gift and apparel vendors at Surf Expo, as a percentage of the show, is greater than any other show we attend and caters more to our Customer. We find new lines and brands every subsequent show we attend, along with our tried and true vendors. The Support we receive from Surf is unrivaled with any other show we attend. It’s not unusual for us to make a phone call to Kathy or “Fish” looking for a specific product and they return us a list of people to call.   We have vendors we have done business with for years based on their recommendations. Surf Expo is a “never miss”, “gotta have it” show for Red Sail Sports.”
