The 2026 AWSI Tradeshow wrapped up with a beautiful, windy evening celebrating the best in the wind and water sports industry. Fourteen awards were presented to brands and individuals who continue to elevate our sports through innovation, leadership, and inspiring achievements that capture the attention of athletes, media, and fans across North America.
Emcees Michaela Pilkenton and Kimmy Gustafson, both pillars in our local community, brought their signature energy and warmth to the stage, making the night one to remember. Fun was had by all, and we extend a huge thank-you to Kona Brewing for keeping the good vibes flowing as our official beer sponsor.
