“Surf Expo is a critical opportunity for Ocean Sports to meet with existing suppliers to view new product, discuss any issues face-to-face and renew our excitement for key brands. It’s also a chance to seek out new vendors and ensure we’re on the right track for current market trends. Missing Surf Expo would definitely be detrimental to our retail operation."
