[djkorn1]

:skull2:Looking to make it bigger than last year. Probably the last weekend in July or the First in August. I want to keep it away from WaveRave so people can attend both. :skull2:

Once again:

:skull2:Killer Rock-N-Roll on the Beach
:skull2:Bikinis
:skull2:Food
:skull2:Riding
:skull2:Prizes
:skull2:(Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame Poker Run): Might be shortened if the surf is huge again. This year we will ride on Sunday too!!! :woot:
Afterparty at either the Garage Bar or Shooters in the Flats.

[spooks]

sweeeet, can't wait

[djkorn1]

You still plannin on Daytona Spooky?

Thanks for opening the thread Darin! :hail:

[Hogggman]

My vote is for July for whatever its worth that way we have 1 ride every month.

[spooks]

yep, been packing already.

[kenny j]

DJ, let us know if you need help with anything this year. if theres no surf this year, lets hook up a huge double up!. well bring boats. were only 30-45 mins away, looking forward to the rock-n-ride, its almost our home turf! ttyl.

[djkorn1]

Killer. Man, this year it was flat as my ex-girlfriend in the morning and by 11:00 we had 5-6 footers. It was nuts. Some people had a hard time even getting to the beach (unclehulka)jk. It was pretty gnarly.

:woot::woot:

End of July sounds good... Maybe the 28th and 29th???

[MADMAT]

Lake Erie (at least in Cleveland) is never gonna be the same.

I predict the Cleve crew will be going huge by the time the good waves come at the end of the summer!!

Or maybe we will get lucky again and go from flat to FAT overnight like the last rock n ride.

I would love to see huge backies and rolls in Cleveland from here on out.

[kx454]

[kenny j]

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:biggthumpup: :woot:

[XFT LOU]

Is this a camping ground?

[djkorn1]

No, just a local Ohio State Park and beach. It is right in downtown Cleveland, so I don't think there is much camping around! :cool2:

[mybad]

Im from Medina, Ohio. About 40 minutes away. Been their before. Will try to make it.

[djkorn1]

Are you the guys with the 2 kawi 750s that have a shop?

[mybad]

Are u talking about hilltop performance? I know of them but never rode with them. I think they ride sxr's.

[spork]

Ok I want in on this ride! I'll probably drown myself, but i've got to give it a shot. Who knows maybe i'll get kicked out of every bar in the flats again. How far away are the flats from where the ride will be?

[Ericfox]

This sounds like a fun time. I hope I can make it up. Only about an hour drive for me! Would be nice to meet some other people with similar interest in the area.

The old flats are no more. They have been leveled. But up the hill on west 6th and west 9th are the spot now.

About 1 mile from the beach.

Aww that's too bad. Hopefully the new is as good as the old cause the flats rocked! How many usually show up for this ride (just a guesstimate)?

[djkorn1]

We had about 30 skis last year and the weather was insane. We are probably going to hit the Garage Bar again or Shooters if I can get us up on the upper deck.


I am guessing about 40-45 skis this year and the weather will probably be much better. (waves will probably be smaller too)

[spork]

Sweet... I'm in assuming gas isn't over the fo dolla range:bigeyes:




Edit: I was told the water quality is horrible there is there any truth to it?

[djkorn1]

The water quality depends on Thunderstorms. A couple big storms will make the local rivers wash a bunch of sticks and crap in the lake.

Usually around late July the water quality is VERY good. (as long as there isn't a huge storm right before the ride).

[SuperJETT]

I'm tentative on coming, we'll see!

[spork]

Am I the only one excited about next weekend? These threads are awefully quiet.:bigeyes:

[MADMAT]

I'm pumped but I am spending my thoughts and energies praying to the wave God.

:hail:oom ba chaka:hail:oom ba chaka:hail:oom ba chaka:hail:

[gj_fx1]

hello, anybody know if they are doing that marathon (or whatever it was) where they closed all the fricken roads? (Sunday last year, we never did figure out how to get there..)

[SuperJETT]

I'm pretty excited, it will be our first trip as a family to a freeride event. I'll be pimping the minivan with the trailer behind it, so be prepared for groupies. Oh, and 3 rugrats under 6 will be all over the beach, so watch where you step!

[djkorn1]

I'm so stoked that I can't stand it!!! It's gonna be a good time. We had great 3-4 foot surf today!!! Hopefully the wave gods are good to us...

[djkorn1]

Thanks Frank the Tank! Glad you could make it....

[spork]

My first event and definately not a disappointment! Already anticipating next year. Props to dj for setting this up and everyone that showed up. Whoda thunk a lake could have waves like that:shocked:

[SuperJETT]

It was worth it coming up just for Saturday, though I really wish it would have been Sunday now.

In case anyone doesn't know, we got up at 5:30, tossed the 3 kids in the van and were on the road at 6:20am.

We got there around 12:30 or so, but due to hiking across the beach with 3 kids and a loaded wagon, then my start button crapping out on the ramp, I didn't get start riding until around 2.

I was out of the water by 5 after a full tank of riding, and we got back on the road, stopped for dinner with jetskee (Chad) and his family, then made it home at 1:30am and tossed everyone back in bed.

Wow, but it was fun.

BTW, 23mpg in the van towing the trailer with a/c running is nice!

[jetskee]

Yeah, you're crazy.:drive:

I considered calling you about 10:00pm and letting you know that we
were home, laying in bed, but then I thought that might be just
a BIT too mean.....

[spork]
