The 2019 Sand Sports Super Show | The World's Biggest Sand Sports Expo - Side By Side Stuff

2019 Sand Sports Super Show
OC Fair and Event Center
Costa Mesa, CA
Sept 13th – 15th

The Side By Side Stuff team ventured out to Orange County, California joining thousands of off-road enthusiasts in attending the 2019 Sand Sports Super Show! The annual event returned to the OC Fair and Event Center in Costa Mesa September 13th – 15th with 2019 marking the 21st year for the sand sports expo. Known as the world’s biggest sand sports expo, the event boasts hundreds of vendors, custom builds and countless aftermarket products on display for attendees to check out. The Sand Sports Super Show plays a key role for the UTV industry and sets the stage for the beginning of the dune riding season.

Over 300 vendors were present at the show including many aftermarket UTV parts and accessory companies displaying their latest products, custom SxS builds and UTVs with the best in bolt on parts. For Side By Side Stuff, the show is a great opportunity to touch base with our brands, check out the latest products and find new, innovate products to add to our store. For most event attendees, the show is great to pick up discounted parts, grab some free swag from industry brands and check out a variety of awesome rides to get some ideas on what to do to their own machines.

A variety side by side OEMs like Can-Am, Polaris, Yamaha, and Honda were present at the show showing off some their own builds, sponsored race UTVs and latest UTV models.

We saw several of the all new Polaris RZR PRO XP models at the show, not only did Polaris have some on display, several aftermarket vendors had them in their booths as well. It was apparent that these aftermarket companies were able to get their hands on the new machine prior to the show to outfit them with brand new products.

4-seater Arctic Cat Wildcat XX models were spotted in Robby Gordon’s Speed SxS booth, this was the debut for the 4 seat model which really had attendees excited.

Honda had the all new Talon 1000X-4 on display as well, it was cool to get up close and check it out. We test rode the Talon 1000R back in July and it definitely left us wanting more seat time, it will be interesting to see how the 1000X-4 performs.

Another interesting OEM on site was Nikola Motor Company’s powersports division: Nikola Powersports. They displayed the new Nikola NZT, an all-electric SxS boasting 775ft-lbs of instant torque and 590 HP; it was cool to take a close look at the new machine.

For many vendors it’s important to stand out, one way to draw attention to the booth is to have a unique SxS on display. When it comes to custom builds you bring your A game to show, we saw a variety of several over the top UTVs; it’s always fun to see some amazing ideas come to life. Be sure to scroll through the photo gallery to check out our favorites.

The Sand Show always seems to bring out a variety of off-road celebrities, we ran into a few this year at the show this year including Blake Wilkey, Matt Burroughs, Lindsey Hays and Robbie Gordon just to name a few. Many fans were excited to see them and get an autograph and photo. We chatted with a few of these industry personalities, it was great to find everyone was so down to earth.

All in all, the 2019 Sand Sports Super Show was a blast! It was great to catch up with our vendors, check out some awesome UTV builds and see the latest and greatest in aftermarket parts and accessories. Whether you’re a SxS gearhead or just love to check out custom off-road builds, the Sand Sports Super Show is an expo you should plan on attending. Mark your calendars for next September and join us at the 2020 Sand Sports Super Show!
