No UK surf trade show this year – lack of industry support and a general lack of interest killed it.
When the wheels came off the ecomony (and Drift) back in 2008, the surf industry shuddered. Share prices fell, magazines prepared for the inevitable and retailers folded. But to add a positive shine to 2009, the Surf Expo is back for 2010. And where is it? Right on my doorstep. I’d better get an invite.
