As we continue to work on developing our expanding Florida coastal coverage and are building our new blog-a-zine, Enjoy Florida’s Coast, we’re reaching out and looking for more places, products, things to do, and experiences to enjoy, all in an effort to help you plan your next Florida coast getaway or bring Florida’s coast home with you.
Last weekend we attend our first ever Surf Expo, the premiere water-sports, beach, and coastal lifestyle show. Held at Orlando’s Orange County Convention Center, Surf Expo brings together the makers of everything from water-sports equipment to clothing, travel gadgets to souvenirs and matches them up with buyers, experts and media.
So why would you care that we went to Surf Expo? Because we’re looking for the great, interesting, different, and really cool gear. We’re also discovering the sophisticated, impressive, must-have items that you’re going to be wanting to pay attention to.
Over the coming weeks we will individually profile many of the things we found that we liked most, all as we prepare to launch Enjoy Florida’s Coast, so please come back often to see what we found, and stay tuned, Enjoy Florida’s Coast is just beyond the horizon and readying to rise…
