Even those who are on the Year Zero Advisory Council have had to ask what YZAC stands for. A huge shout out to the individuals/businesses list below who have been helping to get SUP Industry off the ground.   When filling out the survey, these they  volunteered to consider being involved in leading this organization. We immediately  put them to asking them to provide  input on early decisions/directions.  Certainly some have been able to make the time to help more then other, but we appreciate each and every one of you for being interested and willing to throw your name in!!
