PRESS RELEASE
ALL STAR LINEUP SET FOR SPECTACULAR SACRED CRAFT SURF EXPO
"We are urging surfers to dig through their garages, their storage space, and their backyards for collectable surfboards and magazines that they think may hold some real value," explained expo director Scott Bass. "Anything special and unique from say, 1985 or so and earlier, especially if it is in good shape, probably has value above and beyond normal used-board pricing. Our expert appraisers can determine a estimated value."
The Sacred Craft Surf Expo opens its doors immediately following the TransWorld SURF Sacred Craft Magical Morning Board Demo. You will want to be at the expo early! The first 100 attendees in the door will be put in a special "early bird" drawing for a brand new Firewire fish surfboard. Great odds! And no wonder, just a few doors down from the DM racetrack! Musicians will play on the outdoors stage all weekend long. Various groups are scheduled including Australian longboard champion Beau Young, Miles Kinney & Tower 7, a YardBirds cover band; the acoustic stylings of Kevin White; and Future Fins brand ambassador Phil 'Boo' Stubbs. On Saturday Oct 10, make sure to stay around and check out a special SACRED CRAFT premier screening of the new Australian documentary film "SEARCHING FOR MICHAEL PETERSON".
In addition to all of this, Sacred Craft seminars run all weekend long at the Sacred Craft Surf Expo. On the docket are Drew Brophy's inspirational slide show and spray paint demonstration; an epoxy laminating demonstration by Dave Daum; UCSD's Stephanie Moyerman discusses feminine physique and surfboard design for women; Lee Vanderhurst professes on surfboard design 101 during "The Idiot's Guide to Surfboard Design". A Multi-media and hands-on guide to the basics in surfboard design from outline to rocker, how to measure it and what it does. Know how your surfboard should work before you catch your first wave; UCSD's Benjamin Thomson talks about natural frequency (recoil rate) of a surfboard and why it is important to you!; Whitney Guild will present Turn Up The Volume! and discuss the importance of knowing the volume of each of the surfboards in your quiver. VOLUME is rarely discussed, but is an important single number that can be used to describe each of your boards; and the Groundswell Society discusses apex predators and their role in surfboard design. A complete schedule will be available shortly. Media outlets scheduled to attend include The Surfers Journal, TransWorld SURF, TransWorld BUSINESS, SLIDE Magazine, FUEL TV, & MyLocalLineupTV Channel 16.

To place that influence, that importance, that responsibility, back in the hands of the artisans who shape, design and manufacture our sacred crafts-and ultimately our future. We put the "board" in boardshorts.
