Show goes off April 17 & 18, 2010

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 12 November, 2009 : - - Jacksonville Beach, Fla -- Global Wave Ventures has selected the Cocoa Expo Sports Center in Cocoa, Florida for the second Boards & Waves Expo. The two-day event is the East Coast's only "consumer expo for surfers" and will be held on April 17 & 18, 2010. 

The Boards & Waves Expo will feature over 100 exhibits of surfboards, fins, foam, and accessories, surfboard painting by Drew Brophy, surf- and beach-inspired artists, surfboard shaping, homemade surfboard contests, Stand Up Paddle displays, educational seminars and more.  There will be free product offerings including a raffle to win a Ricky Carroll surfboard each day.

"With the diversity and complexity of boards, fins, and foam, today's consumer needs more information before buying a new surfboard.  The Boards & Waves Expo gives surfers the opportunity to talk face-to-face with surfboard shapers, fin designers, accessory manufacturers and others in a fun, informative environment!" said Dave Seehafer, avid surfer and action sports industry consultant.  Last year's Expo was held in Daytona Beach, attracting nearly 1500 attendees to over 60 exhibits.  The move to the "East Coast Surfing Capital" allows the Expo to grow and reach a larger audience.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Surfrider Foundation and Cocoa Beach High Surf Team. For more information about the 2010 Boards & Waves Expo, call 949-466-4110 or email info@boardsandwaves.com.
