Everywhere we look, businesses are closing down, people are losing jobs and some are down-sizing. Numerous industries have taken a beating. That is not exactly the case with the surf industry. This industry is on the rise and looks like it will continue to do so.
What makes the surf industry special? It is the people that have chosen to incorporate surfing into everyday life. It is the one's that have to catch another wave. They brave the cold and the wind to experience the thrill. This is not just a hobby to some but an addiction and not necessarily a bad one.
As with almost every business, economically the past few years have been trying, however the surf industry has not suffered near as much as some of the other industries have. Trend is a big factor in a lot of businesses. When times are hard financially people will not be able to keep up with the latest trends. Surf lovers however, who have chosen to make this a lifestyle have continued to shop and purchase because they love the sport. They might not be buying as much but they are buying what they need to continue the sport they love.
Keeping up with the trends seem to still be seen with the surfer. It is such a part of his or her life that even in hard times they will do what they can to keep this part of life alive. Trends can be seen not only in the surfing products, but clothing and accessories. A surfer's style sets him apart from the rest.
There has been a great increase in surfers over the last twenty years. The number of people that have joined this group have doubled. The increase in surfers offers an increase in retailers and sales. To those that love the sport they will continue to help the industry have financial security. Times might be hard, but this is what they know. This is an escape from the everyday problems of life to a calmer peaceful place.
To keep up with all the trends, manufacturers and retailers in the fashion, board and beach business can attend surf expos. More than 15,000 people show up to visit more than 2,000 booths to check out the latest styles. The expos are enjoyable to go to not only to view the products but to watch demonstrations, competitions and award presentations.
It is good to know that even with all the financial set-back our country has seen over the last couple of years, we still can enjoy our hobbies. We can still escape to the place that makes us feel alive if we need to. Whatever that longing maybe, we search it out and just like the surfer we make sure we keep that in our lives.
