Focus™ Surf Boards & OMBAK announces first Focus ™Surf Center retail store opening in Osaka, Jap

March 12, 2010 - PRLog -- The Stand Up Paddleboard market in Japan is gaining popularity, and gaining it very quickly.  Focus™ Surfboards attended the United Style Expo, INTERSTYLE, held this past February 2010 in Yokahama, Japan.  Nitzan Benhaim, Focus™ partner,  and paddleboard team rider Ikaika Kawai were there to witness the excitement first hand.  In fact, and largely in response to such enthusiasm, the very first Focus™ Surf Center  retail store is currently under construction, and will be open in Osaka, Japan early summer 2010.  

“We had an amazing reaction from our booth at the 2010 United Style Expo Yokahama,” says Jacob Benvzi, a  Focus™ partner.   “People are completely excited about our custom-made Japan lineup. We are very happy to be positioned in the right place at the right time.”

In an exclusive Japan distribution deal with OMBAK, a Japan company, Focus™ Surfboards is positioned to gain a strong foothold in the growing, and passionate, Japanese SUP market.
