First-Ever SURFER Emerging Brand Grant is Coming to CARV Expo

A rising tide lifts all ships, and as the rebirth of the surf industry takes root it’s going to take teamwork to make the dream work. With the good people at CARV Expo bringing back the time-honored San Diego action sports trade show, we’re excited to announce the launch of the SURFER Emerging Brand Grant.

For all the little fish in the big pond just trying to make it in this wide, wild world, CARV Expo and SURFER know exactly how hard it is to catch a break. And we want to help. The Emerging Brand Grant has been created to support the future of the surf industry by sponsoring four booth spaces at the Southern California trade show this June. It’s hoped the grant will provide companies on the rise with a megaphone to shout out what they’re doing, make invaluable connections with industry heads, and earn some vital exposure.

“If you’re bootstrapped but passionate, you’ve got a shot at this,” shares CARV’s Josh Rifkin.

The grant will include a 10×10 booth space at the trade show, as well as potential inclusion in various the programs on tap at CARV and other exclusive opportunities. As noted, there are four booth spaces up for grabs.

If you’re interested, don’t lag, applications are due by Sunday, April 20. The applications will be reviewed by the teams at CARV and SURFER. The CARV Expo will take place at the San Diego Convention Center from June 20-22.
