Hey, I wanted to see if anyone was interested in riding to Catalina... starting from somewhere in the South Bay (Marina del Rey, Redondo Beach, etc.)? Thought it would be cool to get a group together and have an approx. 33 mile adventure (66 roundtrip :))

I'm not sure of all the logistics involved or whats needed (besides a boat to hold gas and probably a beacon+), but just wanted to throw out the idea if anyone was interested OR if anyone has done it before? I am open to ideas, suggestions and dates. Let's ride!

Never heard of anyone doing it on a stand up. It would be a test of endurance that's for sure. There can be some pretty big chop out in the channel. That being said, I know I would try it with a group and a boat big enough to haul me and my junk out if I couldn't make it. :)

I know of a guy who did it on his 550sx. I think either a small boat or couches that had a gas container in case

Nice!!! My first two victims ;) lol, I kid, I kid!

Let's wait for more people to hopefully chime in so we can get a good group together and hopefully someone knows someone who knows someone who has a boat for gas :)

Sounds like fun, My first ever jetski event was an 11 hr drive to Lake Cumberland , Kentucky. It was a 90 mile poker run which I did on the kawi 650.
I remeber Lloyd Burlew and Josh Lustic doing a freestyle show, it was the first time I saw freestyle
When I googled the event , it also said that Gary Burtka, Jeffrey Dawson and Glenn Powell were there to put on the show.
I think it was back in 2002, will have to check the shirt when I get home. lol

Just some history lol

Also crossed Lake Ontario in 95 31 miles each way and arrived in Toronto the day they had an air show and a british plane crashed as we arrived killing the 7 crew members


I would be in for sure ,if I was closer
Have fun ,play safe

refueling in the open ocean is not an easy task. and riding 25 miles in a straight line doesnt sound like my cup of tea. why not just go ride colorado rivers... if your gonna put your stand up in salt water you better be schwackin lips

No one said it would be easy, it's all part of the challenge. No idea what "schwackin lips" means... But I'm currently looking for thumbs down button, oh here it is
