This show we're doing something a little different outside. For a year we've run the Beer Garden outside with the support of Sector 9. It's been a huge success, with both Sector 9 and Hurley bringing bands to the stage. This year we're stepping it up to open it to the all-ages Surf Expo public, adding a food area and some demos. The site will be lined with sponsor vehicles, including Monster Energy's Monster semi-truck, live with samples and Monster gear. Attendees will be able to enter from either the Wake or Skate sections on the 100 aisle. 

Stay tuned for more announcements, a band schedule and even some last-minute surprises. Beer starts flowing at noon daily, and the music starts at 2, but attendees can access the area for food, drinks and demos from show open to close.

If you want to send your favorite band on stage to represent your brand, just let your Account Manager know and they can set it up. Have a different idea? We're all ears-- we'll help customize something perfect for you. 

We survey our retailers after every show. And we've found that over 70% of them recognize and appreciate our sponsors. Don't just show up and set up shop. Our sponsorships start at just $500. And they're worth it. For a description and pics of some of the ones we offer, click here.
