Surf Expo Trade Show Orlando, FL

Aloha All,

    On Wednesday morning the 13th I received a email from Dave Siragusa who asked me if I wanted to be a part of the Maui Jim Sunglasses booth at the Surf Expo Trade show, the event is held on the 14th-16th. I was very excited to be invited to this but on such a short notice it was hard to make a decision, so I made a few emails to Starboard and Dakine asking them if they were going to have a booth as well at the Surf Expo. They both ended up replying to me saying they were and that they would also like for me to represent them as a team rider. So now I had 45 minutes to book a flight, pack my bag, and fly it to Kahului airport. Unbelievable everything went smooth and before I knew it I was stepping foot on Florida on my way to the Surf Expo in Florida.
     On my to the bus where I would go form the airport to Orange County Convention Center in Orlando I met up with the founder of Future fins and they offered to drive me to the Expo at 6 in the morning. I was stoked!
