Next are some shots of the two sets of trophies for the KLO and the Overall Series. It is hard to shoot glass and Len did an amazing job in capturing these images.

Re: KLO Awards Ceremony Photos - Raiding the phat booty wall and other fun!
There were many thousands of dollars worth of prizes up there from our very generous sponsors. We should patronize their businesses for sure and shout out a big thanks!
Check out some of the sponsor websites right here: www.spearwars.com There were later sponsors that were added as the series progressed whose websites I posted up here: http://www.spearboard.com/forumdisplay.php?f=94 Thank You 2008 Blue Storm Sponsors!

Re: KLO Awards Ceremony Photos - Raiding the phat booty wall and other fun!
Here are some images of the expo exhibitors. There were several others who normally attend these events like Florida Freedivers, E-sea Rider, Armor Bags and Scubasworld (to name a few) who had conflicts that weekend, but will be back in the future. Austins, Divers Direct and Briegel HD/UW Cameras were there. Thank you guys for showing your wares at the 2008 KLO!

The island music added to a climate that people really enjoyed. Let me also mention the cool air conditioning that ensured comfort for the awards ceremony.
