I made it to the second annual Action Sports Conference the other day, another Group Y/Fuel TV event that was entirely successful with a sold out crowd. The event was in Huntington Beach down the street from the US Surf Open and timed perfectly with the Surf Open, X Games, Maloof Money Cup, Agenda trade-show and ASR trade-show all occurring with in a 2 week span. I went there by myself not really knowing what to anticipate. Found it easily, valeted my dirt encrusted Subaru and joined a business conference full of Vans wearing business entrepreneurs. Whether they founded a skate company, or were the first to do a 900 in competition, they were all entrepreneurs in some way. It was an honor to be in such a respected but passionate audience.
