The piece highlights the show’s unique energy, the caliber of exhibiting brands, and the excitement shared by both retailers and industry insiders. This CARV Expo TSNN article offers an inside look at the authenticity and momentum that defined our first show, with commentary from key participants and insight into what set CARV apart. TSNN’s coverage provides a strong recap of everything we set out to create: a show that reflects the culture and passion of the surf, skate, and outdoor lifestyle communities.

“There was a vibe, a tone, a unique energy that felt like a mix between a skate park and a surf shop,” TSNN writes.
“The show floor buzzed with retailers placing orders, brands building new relationships, and buyers discovering fresh product lines.”

We’re grateful to TSNN for telling the story so well — and to all the exhibitors, buyers, and partners who brought the first CARV Expo to life.
