In the words of Ronix co-founder Paul O’Brien, ‘this
year we sold out’. Ronix actually had a booth at Surf Expo for the
first time this year, and it was one of my favourites. The whole
natural wood feel and framed photos around the booth looked awesome.
But you don’t care about that so lets get onto the boards.

Next year there is a new board coming from Hyperlite that should get
quite a few people in England excited. You guessed it, Nick Davies has
a board. Unfortunately the person bringing it to the show didn’t make
it after her flight was cancelled due to hurricane Ike, so we never got
to see the new graphic that Nicky D is so proud of.

There is no denying that Red Bull no how to put on a
show, and as far as ‘big deals’ go this week has been huge. In the wake
of arguably the biggest thing to ever happen trick-wise with Danny
Harf’s 1260, last night the biggest rail event ever took place on Lake
Eola in the heart of Downtown Orlando.

So the show is now officially open and the internet
geeks are going wild with updates. We’ve been running around the show

Right now there is a lot of ‘buzz’ around Orlando with
the Surf Expo trade show kicking off tomorrow where everyone in the
action sports industry unveils their new products for the summer 2009
season. Everyone big and small is in town setting up their booths today
in what is essentially a huge pressure cooker. With a building this
big, air conditioning costs an absolute fortune to run, let alone what
it does to the environment, so it won’t be turned on until the show
starts, meaning we are here working are asses off in temperatures way
over 35 degrees… I need a new t-shirt.
