for me it is:

RISAA, huge and worth every minute.
loaded with seminars, TONS of saltwater sheeet,
great time to put faces and names together and
touch base with sum surfamigos and see some of the
living legends, even shake their hands and bend their ears.

MSBA, much more intimate and all about FEESHIN'.
great guys, good food, everything is more reasonably priced,
easy in and easy out, and run by an EXCELLENT group.
MA residents should join, well worth the investment and
their Club has a storied Striperin' Tradition.

SWE Show, was awesome,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,it will be sorely missed!!!
BUT, as per usual, the Boyz at The Edge are not to be outdone
and choose to remain on the cutting edge by offering a series of Surf Days
for the '09 Season,,,,,,,,,,combining seminar and vendor in one day.

Surf Day 1 is this Sat 1-4, at The Edge w/DZ "The Snowstorm Blitz" and HABS JR. Surf Day 2 is Feb 7th 1-4, at The Edge w/Zeno and AH Custom Plugs. Surf Day 3 is Mar 7th 1-4, at The Edge w/DJ Muller and Surf Asylum Plugs. should be outstanding and is more like a series of mini-shows allowing for some real facetime with Legend and Vendor alike!! sounds promising and for me IS must see/be there winter attendance.
