Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2b22d1/2008_surfing_size)
has announced the addition of the "2008 Surfing: Size of Market Trend
Report" report to their offering.

The 2008 Surfing Size of Market Trend Report is a comprehensive
view of surfers based on self-reported data from our annual studies.
This seminal report provides market facts on Surfers including
demographic profiles and an overview of the 5-19 year old population
in the United States and how those age segments influence surfing
participation.

Forecasted retail sales including total dollar volume (retail) for
2008, units sold and average price for hardgoods, softgoods, shoes and
accessories are presented in two charts - one reflects spending by
active Surfers and the second reflects spending by not-so-active or
passive Surfers.

Forecasted retail sales from 2001 to 2008 are charted from data on
spending by Surfers on boards, wetsuits, shoes, sandals, T-shirts,
boardshorts, jeans, sunglasses, watches and backpacks and in separate
charts as well. Comparative charts illustrate average pricing and
number of boards, wetsuits, T-shirts, backpacks, shorts and jeans sold
for each year from 2002 to 2008.

Profiles of the 2008 Surfer include overall surfing participation,
spending habits by channels of distribution, and a demographic
overview of participation by age, by age segmentation, gender and
cross over sports participation.
