CARV Expo provided an excellent opportunity for retailers to have meaningful and engaging conversations with the most relevant brands in the surf industry. We finally have a great place to call home for our surf industry!

The first CARV show was great! It was nice getting to connect with all of our brands under one roof. It was also nice to catch up with other retailers that I don't get to connect with very often. I think having a west coast show is valuable for our industry.

CARV Expo was just what the doctor ordered—a Southern California show for the surf and skate industry. The quality of brands and retailers was right on point.
