I would definitely be attending this but unfortunately I am going spearing in the keys that weekend. I will have to go next year I guess. Hope the weekend in the keys is worth missing this for.

Sheri is doing a rain dance friday night.

The visibility and seas are going to be TERRIBLE in the keys that weekend.

Re: Announcing The Blue Wild 2011

Show only comes around once a year, got 362 more days to spearfish. I haven't missed one show. Raffles alone are off the chain. Lots of great gear to see and buy. Most at show prices. Then we can all fish on Monday in the Art Pinder spearfishing comp. Gonna have a great time. I wouldn't miss out if I were you. Lol

Re: Announcing The Blue Wild 2011

Sheri:

Thanks so much for putting this together for all of us again this year. We know it is a tremendous amount of work and each year the show seems to be bigger and better than before.

We are very pleased to have been invited to another exciting Blue Wild. We've been super busy lately with some new product introductions, but we will definitely be there. We've made the commitment for a double booth and I think it will be quite a challenge to get everything into our booths.

For anyone who has not attended previously: the Expo is really a unique event. The huge venue provides a laid back and casual atmosphere where we can meet so many of our existing and future customers and everyone gets a chance to sit down with some of the true legends of the sport. My biggest regret is that I can’t slip out of the booth more frequently and catch some of the incredible speakers and mini-seminars that are scheduled.

We also shouldn't forget that our participation helps to support our sport, as well as Sheri's favorite organization: the Twin Palms Center.

Of course we will be sharpening our pencil and will be offering some "show specials" for everyone who makes the event. We will be displaying a number of brand new items including: The MAKO Rapid On/Off speargun camera mounting system, new MAKO fins (footpockets and blades), new reels, new wetsuits and a number of other exciting and significant products that have yet to be released.

Grab that calendar now and write in "BW" for at least one day of Memorial Day Weekend!

See You There!

Dano

Re: Announcing The Blue Wild 2011

I've been to two of these, and they are incredible. It might be hard for me this year since I just remodeled the kitchen, but if you are local and don't have to pay for air fare and $115 per night for a hotel, you need to have your head examined it you miss it.

Re: Announcing The Blue Wild 2011

Looking forward to seeing everyone...what an event! The amount of spearfishing knowledge under one roof is unmatched anywhere. If you've never attended a BW, than pull out the $15 and attend...you'll never regret it. Bill, I hope it works out for you to attend...always enjoy the conversation!

Hey Dan… It should be another great Blue Wild. If you’ve got time to do a day of diving over here let me know, we might be able to find a fish or two. I just got a new(old) boat that I am getting rigged for diving and she will need to get broke in.

Re: Announcing The Blue Wild 2011

Whoa....time is flying! We're about one month away from the Expo now, and I wanted to give a heads up on the hotels. It's Memorial Day weekend, so if you want a room at the Renaissance or Courtyard, better think about booking before they sell out. We got a great rate of $115. Here's directions on how to book your room and how to get that rate. http://thebluewild.com/hotel.htm Even if you live in Florida, you party animals might want to hang at the Ft. Lauderdale Beach strip and stay locally.

By the way, here's the latest Exhibitor List....with more booking every day.

I wish I could Dan, but its not in the cards. My wallet seems to have sprung a leak lately. Its going to cost me over a grand to get my boat back from the shop Thursday, and that is just one example.
