The annual January Surf Expo was this weekend, and the SPoT crew was excited to return for another one.
Yep, it is the Bright yellow course again. Here is a bird’s eye view of the course for the Volcom Wild in the Parks contest.
Uncle Sam
Uncle Sam was ripping with a smile as usual.
Or maybe this why Uncle Sam was smiling.
Stalker
Darth Vader and this Storm Trooper were with NHS showing off some Santa Cruz Star Wars decks. Stalker Steve wanted to use the decks as light sabers to cut through the Surf Expo crowd.

Vans served Waffles in the morning and gave away Popeye’s chicken later that night. Thanks for feeding us broke skaters, Vans.
I want to play with this!
Cesar
Cesar Fernandez flick back tail the tall ledge to drop as Chris Blake documents. Follow these dudes to peep the footy.
Monkey Business?
Dalton
Dalton Dern of the Dern duo - bump to bs smith.
Gabe
Stopped by the Matix booth to pay good friend Gabe Clement a visit.
Matix Denim is on point. Thanks for hooking it up with a pair, Gabe!

Jereme
After cruising around expo checking everything out, I came back to the park to find Jereme with a rolled ankle.
Brian
One of SPoT’s newest employees, Yodaaabomb, with a boneless off the top deck.
Alejandro
Alejandro enjoyed his first Surf Expo experience.
Being in Film, I know that this is quite the accomplishment. Congrats, Volcom.
Manny
Security had their hands full trying to stop everyone from skating in the convention center. Could you pass up skating on this ground? Manny couldn’t help but get a 360 flip in.
Laura
Tampa locals and Rippers Laura, Noelia, and Alex.
Markus
Stopped by the DC shoes booth with Markus.
Jefferson
We ran into Jefferson Pang!
Focus Skate Mag, Corona, Santa Cruz board to pop the top, and astro turf boards.
Chris
These dudes have been holding it down in Orlando for years. Alex Elder, Cesar Fernandez, and Chris Blake.
Jake
Poptart flying around the course.
Casey
Casey Wayne is back on the board and still has a proper switch flip.
Alex
From one trade show to another, Alex Bowers is fresh off the plane from the Agenda trade show right to business at the Brixton booth at Surf Expo.

Thomas
Thomas Dritsas going up the rail.
Alejandro
Alejandro with another trick I don’t know the name of.
This is Casey Wayne’s homie from South Carolina, Lurge, with a switch big heel down the stairs before heading back to Tampa.
On the way out I spotted this kinker. Maybe Element or DC could bring out Nyjah in September to grind this rail.
Casey says that’s a wrap. Lets go check out the after party downtown.
Insta Ramp was in full effect at the Bar.
Thanks Surf expo for another fun weekend!
