Floridaze Is Pouring at the NXF Classic — Sarasota, November 14

Some events you sponsor because the numbers work. Some you sponsor because the room is full of exactly the people you built the product for.

The NXF Classic is the second kind.

On Saturday, November 14, Floridaze will be on the festival floor at Robarts Arena in Sarasota with a booth and cold cans of all three flavors. Here's what the day is, why a seltzer brand belongs at a strength competition, and what you'll find when you walk up to us.

The event

The NXF Classic, presented by Neuxist, is a strength-first hybrid competition built around Seven Stations. Seven Tests. — each one going after a different dimension of fitness so nobody wins the day on a single strength. Athletes move through a descending run format and meet equipment that doesn't negotiate: sledgehammers, power punches, rope climbs, sandbags, atlas stones.

The organizers put it as "Strength Before Stamina. Capability Before Capacity."

But wrapped around the competition is the part we care about most — a full community wellness festival, built on five pillars:

  • Mindset — Think Better
  • Movement — Move Better
  • Nutrition — Fuel Better
  • Lifestyle — Live Better
  • Momentum — Keep Growing

Wellness professionals, local businesses, interactive experiences, food vendors, guest speakers, education. And critically: "You don't have to compete to be part of NXF." Most people in that building on November 14 will be there to watch, learn, eat and hang out.

That's our crowd.

Why a THC seltzer belongs at a wellness festival

Let's be direct about this, because it's a fair question.

Floridaze isn't a performance drink. We're not going to tell you it makes you stronger, recover faster, or move better — it doesn't, and anyone who tells you otherwise about a THC beverage is selling you something.

What Floridaze is: what you reach for when the work is done.

The festival's Lifestyle pillar is "Live Better," and for a lot of adults, living better includes what's in the glass at the end of a long Saturday. That's the conversation we want to be part of. A day like NXF Classic ends with people sitting down, comparing notes, laughing about the atlas stone that didn't move. We'd like to be the thing in their hand for that part.

There's also a straightforward reason we fit a nutrition-conscious room: zero calories, zero carbs, zero sugar. For people paying close attention to what they put in their body all day, that matters more than any marketing line we could write.

What we're sampling

All three of our Sunshine Infused Seltzers will be at the booth:

  • Watermelon
  • Blue Raz
  • Coconut

Each is a hemp-derived Delta-9 THC seltzer, formulated with CBD, CBG, Lion's Mane and Taurine. Hemp grown by American farmers. Mixed and packaged right here in Tampa Bay — about an hour up the road from Robarts Arena.

Florida in a can.

Sampling is 21+ — please read this part

You must be 21 or older to sample, and we will check ID at the booth. No exceptions.

We're flagging this clearly because NXF Classic is a family-friendly event — admission is free for children 15 and under, and there will be a lot of families in that building. Our booth is an adults-only zone within a general-audience event, and we take that seriously. If you're competing, use your own judgment about when in the day a sample makes sense.

Tampa Luxe is on the floor too

You'll also find Tampa Luxe at NXF Classic — our sister brand under the same CEO, Oytun "Oy" Tutuncu.

Tampa Luxe runs luxury transportation across Tampa Bay: Mercedes Sprinters, party buses, black car service, exotic and luxury vehicles. If you're coming down from Tampa, St. Pete or Clearwater with a training group or a cheering section, they can move the whole crew to Sarasota and back so nobody has to be the designated driver — which, given our booth is 21+, is a genuinely practical pairing rather than a marketing one.

Worth a conversation at their booth if you're organizing a group. Reach them at 813-343-2227 or info@tampaluxe.com.
