Kite&SUP Specific Swap?

Post by Yoda » Wed Mar 04, 2015 2:31 pm

I'd like to see if there's any interest and if anyone has some good ideas on putting together a swap event focused around these two activities. Considering that almost all of the major kite brands are also now offering SUPs, and the abundance of both kiters and paddlers in northern CA (especially the Bay), I don't see why something can't be organized around this. What do you all think? Maybe something hosted by the local shops? Combine it with a video release, a bbq, or something to support a charity?
Btw... I'm posting this based off the Crissy Field Swap and it's challenges for selling gear.

You would be better off promoting and encouraging people to go to Crissy swap than trying to organize another swap. You probably won't have much turnout.
