Day 1 of ISPO Munich 2017 got underway on Sunday February 5 and the new Polygon structure made its debut in the boardsports hall.
When entering the boardsports hall, the most noticeable change was the ability to see from one side of the hall to the next, with no large booths obstructing the view. It was a relatively slow start to the day, but by lunch time the hall saw a steady flow of traffic, which culminated in an extremely busy end of the day.
As always, SOURCE will be bringing you daily image galleries from the event, and below is a cross section of images from across the show.
