2015 Lake Michigan Surf Ride. AUG 29th - 30th

The idea for this event is to provide a loosely structured gathering for all types of Personal Watercraft enthusiast’s. All done on the shores of Lake Michigan at the end of the summer.

The goal is to provide a safe and permitted place to have an fun end of summer ride. While offering something for all types of riders, from the first time Jet Skier to the off the hook Freestyler and the racer too. All this will also support a charity by using proceeds from a raffle of donated gear/items.

Friday will be a nice easy kick off, with check in starting up, open riding and getting all introduced to the surf conditions of Lake Michigan. A meet and greet party at local restaurant on Friday night.

Saturday will be the main day with an opening ceremonies, presentation of the flag, group photos, Big Air freestyle event, Surf Moto Race, BBQ dinner on the beach followed by a raffle of items from the sponsors.

Sunday will be the laid back day of riding and enjoying the beach scene. Uncork that trick you’ve working on, or whatever you feel like doing.

This event is a weekend for all to come out and hang, ride and just play. By having the permits from the U.S. Coast Guard and the City you are able to do many of the things that might normally get you a ticket. Such as to close to shore, to close to another watercraft or just having too much fun.

Bring that 4 wheeler to get your stuff to the water, put up the e-z up, bring the dog, the cooler, chairs, boom box, and enjoy a weekend on the beach.

The dates are the 28th, 29th & 30th of August 2015. Remember to Like us to be updated on the presenting sponsors and the weekend activity's. More information coming as the permits are approved. Look for information on a web page coming soon to a internet near you.

The only problem that i see is that the dates are Very close to Wave Rave here in michigan If not the same weekend. But i think Wave Rave is the weekend before.
 
Anyone ride in the Kenosha area all summer? A friend and I have internships in Kenosha and will be bringing our skis there for the summer. So we'll be at this event and would also like to meet and ride with others the rest of the summer. We will be there from mid May till September 1st

Is there a cost? Since Lake Michigan can vary day by day how do you know there will be surf that weekend?

Yes, the event will be $40. This is for Friday Saturday, and Sunday. I realize, we are subject to Mother Nature, no different than any other ride or event.
Late August is typically good, both weather and surf wise though.

There are a lot of Locals over there that ride regularly. Like stated above, Winthrop is a great launch. There are always LARGE boats, so even if the water is flat, there seems to always be big waves. Just north to Milwaukee, Bender is another popular spot with a good group of stand up guys.

I love about 40 mins from Kenosha on Wind Lake. You guys more than welcome to come buy and ride anytime. Most of my skis live on the lifts but I have a utility golf cart and a jet lift to bring friends skis to the lake when they come ride. I know how going to an area where you know no one is so anything we can do to help let us know.
