Arrow Photos - Grand Opening Party - Adventure Sports Ft. Lauderdale



They had the "soft" store opening but here is the main event. Neil Pryde himself, icon of the watersports industry will be attending from Hong Kong. Dave Kalama will also be coming after conducting a paddle clinic between 4 and 6 pm the day of the party. There will also be a kayak fishing clinic the same day. I understand there will be special sales, a book signing and a good deal more.

It all happens this Saturday, December 1, 2012 at the new Adventure Sports Ft. Lauderdale store! Make your plans to attend this unique fun event.

Dave's clinic is running right now at Whisky Creek. The party goes off in less than two hours complete with band, food and drinks at the store's Grand Opening!
