The Agenda Trade Show is where the skate, surf, and skate & surf lifestyle companies go to show off their new goods to the retail shop buyers. The show is held a few times a year, twice in Long Beach, in January and again in July. the following are photos from yesterday. We were also here for the show back in January, click here for the blog post.

At the Uppercut Deluxe/Z-Flex booth, skate legend Eric Dressen fresh from getting his hair cut by Shane Nesbitt.
"When we are kids or adults alike, there are always people we look up to for one reason or another, could be basketball players, baseball players, musicians, politicians, dancers or in my case, skateboarders. One of the guys in looked up to as a kid was Eric Dressen, dude had the best style, indelible fluidity, and an uncanny ability to wiggle through the streets on a skateboard. Today for whatever reason, he decided to come get his haircut by me and it was an absolute honor. When you finally meet someone you have held in such high regard for so long and they are everything you had expected and more, it makes the wait well worth it. One of the most humble, down to earth, righteous brothers I have ever met. Good times Eric and man, it was a fucking honor." - Shane Nesbitt
