DANA POINT, California - In just two weeks time, October 3-4, 2018, the SUPIA (Standup Paddle Industry Association) is set to host their 6th annual Leadership Summit addressing the most pressing issues facing our Paddlesports Industry today. Together, as Industry Leaders, the SUPIA Summit will gather collective knowledge to not only solve for these challenges, but also present solutions on how to thrive in today's new retail environment.
