Since the inception of Executive Edition, I only need 1 stop
As a retailer in the surf industry for the past 21 years, I have had to use multiple sources to stay informed to the news within surf. Since the inception of the Executive Edition of Shop-Eat-Surf.com, I need only one stop. Thanks for providing such a valuable tool to all of us in the industry. Shop-Eat-Surf is a must read for all of our staff at Maui Nix.
- By George Karamitos, CEO, Maui NixExecutive Edition is a must have
Before Shop-Eat-Surf, there were two sites I paid for premium content on. One is Surfline, the other is the Wall Street Journal. One is about all things surf, the other, the best business content site in the world. Shop-eat-surf is the intersection of those two worlds. Shop-Eat-Surf provides everything from coverage of events, people, brands and trends. However, beyond the Executive Edition "wall" is more meaty analysis and interpretation of financial statements, business models and brand philosophies; why certain brands and companies are succeeding, where others aren't. The Executive Edition is a must have read if the business of surf and action sports are on your radar screen.

Volcom’s first quarter revenue came in higher than the company had forecast and earnings per share hit the top end of the estimate it had provided at the end of February.
However, net income was well below the same period last year.
The company reported this afternoon that total revenue for the quarter ended March 31 increased 13% to $87.1 million. Volcom had forecast a 7% to 11% increase in revenue.
Net income declined 39% to $4.6 million, and earnings per share totaled 19 cents. The company had forecast earnings per share in the 16 cents to 19 cents range.
