Daydreaming about warm weather and beach days? Well you can experience the real deal at Surf Expo, the world’s premier watersports and beach lifestyle trade show. Gathering at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida on January 4-6, 2023, this is a prime opportunity to get your store ready for the upcoming summer season.

Surf Expo continues to bounce back post pandemic, with the January 2023 show forecast to expand by 20 percent compared to 2022. Net square footage will reach approximately 190,000 square feet. A wide range of exhibitors have signed up for the January show including Vissla, Birkenstock, Salty Crew, Katin, Jetty, Dark Seas, Firewire Surfboards, MISFIT Shapes, Sharp Eye Surfboards, Xcel Wetsuits, Keen Footwear, Pura Vida, DIFF Eyewear, Bajio Sunglasses, AFTCO, Hey Dude, Havaianas, Sperry, Sun Bum, Dragon Alliance, and many others.  

“We work hard to listen to and take care of all our customers, including brand exhibitors and retail buyers,” Emerald SVP and Surf Expo Show Director Roy Turner said in a press release. “We are thrilled that the winter show continues to grow post pandemic and are excited to welcome an impressive list of brands to Orlando.”
