Grab a board–wind, wake, surf, paddle, skate or sail–and skedaddle yo-sef over to the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando Florida 10-12 September for Surf Expo the world’s largest con-fab of board sport aficionados under one roof.

Surf is where the jazziest and most hi-tech gear and garb get test driven. The big players like O’Neill, Quicksilver, Billabong, Burton, Hurley and Volcom roll in like Jaws, taking up booth spaces the size of small villages. Some even come in their own vans and set up shop. The vibe is what you expect–street savvy beachy cool laid back whazzup dude. Woven in and around the hall are demo tanks for all the sports, so you best be ready for a splash or two.

The new kid on the beach is SUP or stand up paddling, and there is a SUP tank here as well to show the moves required to move that surfboard forward with a paddle.

Surf is a show where you can hang loose. Make no mistake the power brokers are here–they’re just wearing boardies and flip-flops.

Wander over to the Sushi Bar and take in the all-day modelling of the 2011 swim collections. Kikidoll is setting up her lauhala beach hut #1661 where she is launching her 2011 Hawaiian island luxury line ‘Honolulu Honi’ for women complete with the sweetest sexiest rash guard this polite side of a wet tee contest.

Also splashing out her Bikini in a Bottle Cruise/Resort collection for Winter 2010/2011, Kikidoll is showing the capsule collection in silver and gold.  Come share the aloha spirit with Kiki in her beach hut!
