Hello Marina,

The guys are working hard interviewing and shooting exhibitors on the floor. Ryan is working the mike while Zack is catching the action on video. I asked if they were heading out last night to join the party ..., wherever they were having parties. Ryan said nope, they have to hit the editing room and work up all that footage into net ready form pronto.

Ryan and Zack go to it.

Alex tries to get a leg up on what is going on the show floor. At least she can use shorter kite lines and even a six inch jump looks high?

Lots more to come from Surf Expo, looking forward to checking out the videos. There was quite a turnout of exhibitors this year.
