The Surf Industry Manufacturers Association (SIMA) and Board Retailers Association (BRA) are proud to announce they have joined forces to present Surf Summit 13, to be held May 12-15, 2010 in Los Cabos, Mexico. This year the annual Surf Summit conference will be taken to the next level by unifying the SIMA and BRA conferences into one event that will truly encompass and showcase the entire surf industry. With a larger manufacturer and retailer presence and a stronger representation of the industry’s top leaders, Surf Summit 13 will be a more complete union of the tribe. "Surf Summit can only be made better by including the Board Retailers Association members and staff," said Doug Palladini, SIMA President and VP of Marketing for Vans. "I'm really pleased that the BRA leadership agrees in all the mutually beneficial gains that can be generated by combining our forces for this important leadership event going forward." Each year, Surf Summit attendees address important issues facing the surf industry, share ideas, network and help shape the future of the industry. The format for Surf Summit 13 will be similar to years past with surf sessions in the morning, educational seminars in the afternoon, and attendee dinners and events at night. All SIMA and BRA members are encouraged to unite the tribe by attending Surf Summit 13. “We look forward to the synergy of having retailers and manufacturers in one place discussing issues and concerns facing the surf industry, learning about ways to better improve our businesses and at the end of the day, having a drink and bettering our friendships,” said Duke Edukas, BRA Co-Chair and Co-Owner of Surfside Sports. Surf Summit 13 will be returning to the same venue as 2009, the Crowne Plaza Resort Los Cabos (www.cploscabos.com). The all-inclusive, beachside resort is located close to all the hot surf spots, including East Cape, which is just 40-minutes away. With all rooms boasting an ocean view, two colossal pools, and as much great food as you can eat, the Crowne Plaza Resort Los Cabos will provide an epic experience for all attendees.
