Just like any other first-time experiences, the Fit Ocean team was thrilled to participate at the Paddleexpo in Nuremberg, Germany in the last three days. Tagged as the biggest and most celebrated trade show in Europe, it is a great venue for meeting like-minded awesome people in the paddle sports industry. An estimated 300 businesses participated at the trade show.
The Fit Ocean team primarily showcased their US Fin Box system currently equipped in the Fit Ocean Ultra. This idea all started from a problem the design team saw with existing inflatable SUPs. The fin box glued on the bottom of the iSUP boards causes drag. The design team produced a fin box with US fin box system that can be glued inside the hull just like with hard boards.
Aside from this, the Fit Ocean team displayed their product line for 2019, which includes the following:
- FAMILY (NEW)
- CRUISE (TOUR-FAVORITE)
- GLIDE (BESTSELLER)
- PALM LADY (NEW)
- ULTRA (RACE-WORTHY)
- SPEEDSTER (HIT)
- SPORTS (NEW)
- CARBON PADDLES (IN WONDERFUL COLORS)
- INFLATABLE COUCH/TABLE
This coming Summer season, the Fit Ocean brand still has the same goal which is for customers to have a fantastic day on the water with top-quality gear for good prices, be it for paddling alone, with a friend, with a partner, with kids, or with a pet.
More and more families are taking their precious time to bond and we, the Fit Ocean team understands this. Boards fitting family needs were created. We also considered the ladies who are daring, a bit hesitant, and shy. SUP sports does not have to be an intimidating one so Fit Ocean has additional models that cater to different preferences of women. Most of all, those who love races and tours are in the loop for exciting adventures with the Fit Ocean product offering next year.
Overall, joining the Paddleexpo was a successful experience. It was an opportunity to exhibit the creativity and expertise of the team and vibe off with the people in the industry. We hope to join again next year with a desire to showcase more offerings.
