West Central Florida Coastal Distance Ride

Hard to believe that in Florida, their are no Offshore riders, or races....Thats amazing, considering your surrounded by Aqua.....

Somebody's gotta be a leader to start stuff...Gus....Are you game?

David Walker is in Florida somewhere's. Maybe he can chime in and give you his riding location, and maybe you two can start riding IF your close to eachother.

I know and it sucks! I am definately game and have tried, but many just talk crap on line, but then when it comes time to step up they dont!! I was thinking to setup an offshore race in March 2010. Here are a couple of ideas on a map that I was thinking to setup. The one puts dual traffic on the water but everyone should be around the island by the time everyone comes around. There are so many options around here though!

Yeah, I have to call David. I havent talked to him in a while. We live within 10 miles of each other.

Wow, tha'ts such a GREAT idea!
I think you are the one, you have to step up. you have the ideas, passion and energy to do it, but it will be one person at a time, trust me on that, its a slow buildup, but in one year you could eventually get 20 on board. I'll do what I can to help you..

I'm on board for this.....I'm 4 hours away from the Tampa guys but we need to get this puppy started...


I agree with Gus....theres alot of people that talk shite...and then when it comes down to it they p-ss out or get tired after 600yds of offSHOre WOT throttle.

I want to get a club going but the first question goes to liability.......whats to stop every Tom, Dick, and Harry from wanting to join and then when they get hurt, riding beyond their riding abilities on the first ride, they want to sue the club? This is the biggest concern my buddy chris and I have...past that....would love to get some offSHOre training rides going. And what mandatories should be made for admittance to the grp......helmets....definitely....
neck braces... highly recommended

50-60 mph burst into the first 4 ft wave with consequent faceplant since the ski is coming up underneath you faster than your body can react...

Lifter wedges.......def?....recommended?

Or a trial period to see if said individual is mature/responsible/fit enough to ride with the grp?

These are all concerns i have.......past that......lets grip and rip it...and have some awesome offSHOre rides....

And Gus.....if you dont talk to Dave soon and get something together.....I'm gonna blast you on the BS thead

Let's make this happen!!
