Surfriding 10/22/11 Kevin Bruins Remembrance Ride / Rider's Memorial... Holland Michigan

So, I am heading up to the official Memorial Service for Kevin tomorrow evening. I am planning on leaving Cleveland around 10 or 11 am. Should put me into Zeeland around 3 or 4 pm. I am planning on throwing my gear in the truck and the ski in the back. This thing has been tearing me up all week. I can not think of a more fitting tribute to Kevin then to get out and ride on the lake that he loved to ride so much. I know it is going to be hard for me to ride past the the rocks and ride in that place... But, I think it would be what Kevin would want me to do and I am hoping it will help me put this in perspective.

My plan is to ride Saturday Morning 10/22/11 in remembrance of Kevin. I am also planning to have some sort of Memorial Service on the water for Kevin. I am not sure of the details yet, and I hoping for some input from his crew and from others on here for the best way to do it.

I am not at all familiar with the area. So please anyone that is from the area or part if Kevin's crew if you can help me out, that would be great. I am also looking for a recommendation on some place to stay. Cheap local hotel etc, I don't want to impose on anyone but, I would be fine sleeping in my truck in someone's driveway, or on a couch in a basement, where ever.

I would love to ride with as many of Kevin's crew or others as possible. I understand it's late notice but I really think this is a fitting tribute to our friend.

Here is the Weather Forecast:

I would be down for this but of course my ski is down.. I was out a few weeks ago and jumped a wake and came down flat, ran rough and then just stopped and wont turn over... perfect timing right... Such b.s... I want to be out there so bad.

That sucks... Well tell all your friends with skis, your whole crew to come on down... Come down anyways and watch... I will be staying at the Holland State Park. Prolly cooking breakfast for all those who show up to ride...
 
For any of us that are on the west coast and cant make it or did not know Kevin. Please put together a video or Alot of pics to share. I have shared this story with most of my riding buddies and they are crushed also.
 
There is now way I could get out of work tomorrow so I couldnt be there till 4. If any of you guys without skis want to go, I have a old SN somebody could use. I am in Byron Center about a half hr from Holland. Have room in my basement if anyone needs a place to crash.

We have some local guys who are down for a ride tomorrow. What exact time and what launch? We were originally thinking of going to Port Sheldon to ride (5 miles north or Holland). We had the same idea to get out there and ride for Kevin!
 
I am staying at Holland state park. I figure I would just launch there. I have never been to this area before no clue where else to launch. I don't care what time. I will have coffee and breakfast at my site around 8. Tonight I would love to meet up with the local crew and get dinner and brews in true Kevin style... or have a fire and brews at my site tonight...

Hit me up two one six two three five zero three six three

I will be heading up from kzoo tomorrow am. I am riding my blaster but I have a sn also if anyone wants to ride and doesn't have a ski. No excuses. I just dont hve a two place trailer. So like that free fire wood bidness you gotta pick up.
See you all in the am. Look forward to riding the spot as I am sure Kevin would want us to gather more often.
