Lets swing by the Jimmy Lewis booth staffed by Ken Russell, Garry Menk, Packet Casey, Lola and more!
Jimmy Lewis is a long time well regarded kiteboard, SUP board and surfboard shaper based in Hawaii. His products are distributed by Ken and Garry through
Fuacata Sports, LLC.
Some SUP raceware, looks fast just sitting on the carpet.
Lola signing away, dazzling the crowd.
Packet shows off the latest JL kiteboard, the Kwad. The funky aster is actually my strobe flash and not part of the factory graphics.
The booth is right next to the SUP board demo pool
Ken is angling for Lola's job as poster child for JL Boards? Uh, no worries Lola, keep up the great job!
The
Su-perTray setup on another board. Ever wonder what to do with all your stuff when you're out diving from your SUP board? Here's an answer for you.

These young ladies are promoting "rail saver," see below.
Apparently this self adhesive tape has done wonders in rental board operations in keeping the gear in far better shape than normal. Jimmy Lewis liked it so much, he took it on.
Packet showing off the flip side of the kiteboard.
These folks came barreling past on this self propelled long skateboard
There is more to come from Surf Expo 2010 ... Stay tuned!
