Surf Resource Network Goes Live

The SURF RESOURCE NETWORK has joined forces with Dr. Jess Ponting, a leading expert on sustainable surf tourism and a current professor at San Diego State University, to help develop the world’s first CENTER FOR SURF RESEARCH. This collaboration effort takes a step in the right direction at addressing an exponential problem within surf tourism.

The Problem: As traveling surfers continue to expand their horizons to the farthest corners of the globe they pave the way for larger scale tourism industries to follow and too often create a legacy of soiled destinations, disheartened and distressed communities, and missed opportunities to replace poverty with sustainable livelihoods.

The Vision: Surfing’s impact on the world is entirely positive. By incorporating principles of sustainable tourism, surf tourism promotes healthy lifestyles and is a key driver for the environmental, social/cultural, and economic well being of destinations.

Surf Expo was honored in the Trade Show Executive magazine’s Gold 100 List, ranking as one of the top 100 trade shows and honoring the show as one of the biggest and best in the action sports industry, according to a release:

May 24, 2011— Surf Expo’s January and September events were awarded two spots in Trade Show Executive magazine’s Gold 100 list. The distinction honors the biggest and best trade shows in the industry they serve. The list also recognizes ideas that were implemented to maintain a strong marketplace in a challenging economy.

“The Gold 100 award is particularly gratifying because it recognizes Surf Expo’s efforts to remain relevant while being flexible in the current economy, said Roy Turner, Surf Expo show director. “This award is also a reflection of our show’s positive impact on our industries, constantly stimulating new business and new ideas.

Trade Show Executive magazine is a leading publication for trade show executives, with more than 5,000 BPA-audited subscribers.

The Gold 100 honor follows Surf Expo’s recognition this past February by Expo Magazine as one of the 25 top fast-growth shows of 2010.

“A trade show, ultimately, can only be a reflection of the industries it serves, continued Turner. “We’re thrilled that our brands, our markets — and our own creativity — helped Surf Expo land in such a solid list of trade shows, recognized by the two leading trade show publications.”

The next Surf Expo show is Thursday – Saturday, September 8-10, 2011. For more information, go to www.surfexpo.com
