Make plans now for Surf Expo's Board Demo Day on Wednesday, September 5, at the Orlando Watersports Complex. Providing retailers a hands-on atmosphere, Board Demo Day caters to wakeboarding, kiteboarding, and SUP exhibitors and buyers. Additional booths will feature skimboards, surfboards, sunglasses and energy drinks.
Held the day before the Surf Expo September shows starts, the demo will run from noon until 5 pm. Retailers will be able to meet with representatives, demo new boards, paddles and equipment, to try it before they buy it.
The Orlando Watersports Complex (www.orlandowatersports.com), located just 10 minutes from the Orange County Convention Center, remains the premiere watersports park with multiple tow cables and sliders. OWC offers more on-water variety than any other cable park in the country.
A covered pavilion overlooking the lakes will feature a barbeque lunch for all attendees. Complimentary shuttles from the convention center will run continuously for duration of the demo. While the demo is closed to the general public, all Surf Expo attendees are invited to attend free of charge.
