This past Tuesday, Gulfster had the privilege of attending the Three Palms Trade Show in Bradenton, Florida. Unlike larger, corporate-driven trade shows, Three Palms retains its grassroots charm, offering a laid-back atmosphere where meaningful connections are forged and opportunities abound.

For seasoned sales professionals, it's a chance to showcase their latest offerings and strike deals with retailers eager to stock their shelves with the next big thing in surf fashion or equipment. For local retail shop owners, it's an invaluable opportunity to discover emerging trends, connect with like-minded individuals, and establish partnerships that can propel their businesses forward.

At this specific show, the focus was on the Spring 2025 Season. Though brands attending do differ per event, the mix of brands is always impressive. Brands in attendance at this Bradenton event included: Billabong, Volcom, RVCA, Vissla, Olukai, Roark,  Vuori, Stoefs Studio, Brixton,  Hurley, Element, Techstyles Sportswear, Jetty, Rip Curl, Solbello, BN3TH, COVA By Jantzen,  Reel Skipper, Polar, GOT BAG, Arbor Skateboards, Malai, Captain Fin, Reef, and DC

Beyond the business transactions, Three Palms is a celebration of community. It's a place where people come together to share their passion, exchange stories, and revel in the camaraderie that defines Florida's surf scene.
