Surf Expo aims to not only put on a great show this year but also entertain. At this years show (August 20-22) Eastern Skateboard Supply and Team Pain have teamed up to provide a demo and entertainment for those attending the expo. The demo will feature professionals and a park exclusive to the show.
With less than a month before Surf Expo, the board, beach, and fashion trade show announced details of its schedule of skateboarding events.
Eastern Skateboard Supply is sponsoring a pro demo, including Corey Duffel, Brandon Westgate, Joey Pepper, Chany Jeanguenin, Chad Bartie, Gareth Stehr, JT Aultz and Justin Brock, with more to be named.
The skaters will hit Team Pain’s Skate Art with two daily sessions at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. at Surf Expo’s skate park. Stop by and talk to these skaters or grab an autograph across from Eastern’s booth (#1173) at 2p.m. daily.
Show Director Roy Turner says, “While Surf Expo is known for its business-first attitude, we are also aware that there is a ‘show’ in trade show. What a better way to get excited about skateboarding than to team up with Eastern and its all-star lineup? We encourage everyone to stop by and watch the insane skating as well as take advantage of photo and video opps, perfect for store owners to place in ads and on the web. This is all about business –the skateboard business– so bring your camera and skateboard and take advantage of what Team Pain and Eastern have cooked up for our August trade show.”
When demos aren’t going on, Surf Expo attendees are invited to skate the steel and concrete fabricated Skate Art premiered by Team Pain.
Team Pain promises to bring even more unique urban-inspired features to Surf Expo this August. “We will be providing more of our contemporary skateable art pieces this show, with new designs, a larger course layout with more pieces and more prize money, and giveaways for anyone who wants to ride these features,” says Team Pain Owner Tim Payne.

According to Surf Expo Skate Account Manager Doog Becker: “Skateboarding at Surf Expo has seen a change over the last few shows, not only with our events, but we’ve also seen a huge growth with longboarding in the industry, so naturally that trend is also evident on our show floor. I’m excited to be a part of this growth and change.”

Windham to Race U.S. Open
Feld Motor Sports℠ announced today GEICO Powersports’ Honda’s Kevin Windham, of Centerville, Miss., will compete at this year’s Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open inside Las Vegas’ MGM Grand garden Arena October 9-11.
Windham has enjoyed success at the Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open in the past having finished as high as second place in both 2000 and 2005. At his five Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open appearances, he’s only finished outside the top three once (’06: 3rd; ’05: 2nd; ’01: 3rd; ’00: 2nd; ’99: 7th). At his last Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open in 2006, he used his 3-4 finishes for third overall.
In 1994 Windham began his professional career and earned the Western Regional AMA Supercross Lites class championship in 1996, winning six races on the season. In AMA Supercross competition, Windham has finished in the runner-up position three times, ’08, ’04 and ’03.
“The U.S. Open is a fun weekend for the riders and fans,” said Windham. “The MGM Grand Garden Arena provides a great atmosphere for a race. It’s like you come to a party and a race breaks out. This fall is going to be exciting because I will race the US Open the first part of October and my wife, Dottie, and I are expecting our fourth child at the end of the month.”
Windham joins defending AMA Supercross class champion James Stewart, who recently announced he will compete at this year’s Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open, on the starting gate.
