\"exhibit-case-at-surf-expo\"<\/a>It was a crazy busy 3 days at Surf Expo<\/a>. We had 3 different events <\/a>happening, and I have to admit, it was overly ambitious.<\/p>\n

When we arrived, we expected the usual hustle\u00a0getting set up. Instead, we got absolute ROCK STAR treatment from the Surf Expo people, and it was so easy setting up.<\/p>\n

We are grateful to Roy Turner, Vicki Vasil, Josh and the rest of Surf Expo team for making us feel like royalty. I could get used to being a Rock Star……<\/p>\n

\"THRIVE<\/a>

THRIVE AS AN ARTIST SEMINAR<\/p><\/div>\n

When we gave our seminar, Drew and I were incredibly excited at the thought of getting up on that big stage and giving our talk to a full audience. We’ve given seminars before, but this was our first power point, on a big stage with a large audience. \u00a0And we did a great job inspiring the audience\u00a0– I feel like we just graduated to another level.<\/p>\n

Drew’s Art Exhibit was a Show Feature of Surf Expo, and our main purpose there was to showcase his artwork and demonstrate how Drew’s original paintings translate onto different products in action sports.<\/p>\n

A bonus to being there: \u00a0We sold a HELL OF A lot of art prints and a few originals and surfboards \u2013 more than I had anticipated.<\/p>\n

Here are some photos of some of the stuff that went down:<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

Drew\u2019s parents and his sister, Andrea, and her husband Jackie and their 2 kids drove down from Myrtle Beach to watch Wiggs for us, and that was good, because the one day we took him to the show, he wreaked havoc!<\/p>\n

There were many interesting characters that came to see us-Jay Alders<\/a>, artist from NJ, Mark Longnecker<\/a>, tattoo artist from Cocoa Beach, Rhett “Maddog” McMahn<\/a>, journalist, bike & surfer, Dale Sause, longtime friend, William Wallace, sculptor artist, the list goes on and on…..<\/p>\n

It was a lot of work getting ready for this Exhibit and our seminars, but well worth it. \u00a0We’ve decided, since we have to drive the Escape Camper Van<\/a> back to LA from Florida, we will take our time and relax, and vacation and visit some friends along the way. \u00a0So keep checking in on us – we’ll keep you posted!<\/p>\n
