Summer maybe be over. Groms maybe back in school. The sales maybe a little down and your local surf breaks maybe a little less crowded but that doesn’t mean it’s slowing down for the surf industry.
September kicks off with ASR (ActionSports Retailer) which is where all the comapnies get together and show there new products to all the surf retailers in the US and Canada.
After that the WCT (World Championship Tour) shows up at Lower Trestles, San Clemente for stop number 6 the Hurley Pro. As I write this the event is still going on…
In between that the Surfer Polls took place. It’s kind of our Acadamy Awards. That was last night and it was blast!
Check out the pictures I have collected from what’s going on.
Secrets go on during the sales meetings. It's the huddle before ASR's "Show Time"
Sales meeting product review with our sales reps. It looks like it's going to be a good year!

A lot of the guys on the WCT are extremely focused on doing well. Some times it can drive them crazy thinking about contest results and who they are surfing against. Dean found a healthy distraction in golf. He's been playing for 6 months now and loves the change scenery.
Torrey Meister trail blazing to check out the WCT, hopefully the next step in his career.
