Registration Info?

I know I'm still on the couch but I ordered all the parts for the Freestyle SJ and bought a B Pipe :arms:

[Conquistador]

We will have the ability for online payment by the end of the week through paypal. Registration is $35 per ski on event days. Early registration is $25 per ski. Also, AWA members can register at any time for $25. More info will be on the site soon.

I just have to get it to our awesome webmaster :afro:

[termite]

Thanks Ok no kids that weekend just work I'm felling a little sick LOL

[jetboy1004]

Nice Job on the FAQ section....I love this part...
Never stand between your ski and the beach! A wave will pick up your ski and drop it on your shin, your waist, or even your head and it will hurt
LOL

And you know it is going to happen! At least one v-hull coucher - those things are like guillotines when they get knocked around in the shorebreak :biggthumpup:

I have a question:

Where does everyone launch skis? Beach launches or beside an inlet or something, then ride out ocean front?

Also, what size crowds does you expect for the event riders+/- spectators?

[Conquistador]

Large couches will launch from Owls Creek Boat Ramp in Rudee Inlet. It's about a 20 min. ride through the no wake zone out to the ocean. Then, make a left turn & head north for about 9 blocks to the WaveDaze ride area. Small skis such as sjs, sxs, b1s, etc can launch directly from the beach. We are currently finalizing a plan that we will be announcing soon with details of a shuttle system to get your ski from your trailer directly to the surf for the weekend.

[ags0702]

gotcha. Yeah I'll have my sj so beach launch is awesome.
Looking forward to hearing finalized plans!!

[djkorn1]

Any word on this? Can I just use a beach cart?:fing02:

[Conquistador]

Still working details, but here is what we think the final plan is.

People will drop small skis (sj's b1's sx's etc) at a parking lot at 2nd st, we have atv's to tote the skis & your stuff up to the ride area. While we are transporting skis, you can park at 18th & Pacific. (we are trying to get a van so you won't have walk from there to the beach). ATV's will be available & manned all weekend to transport skis & whatever else around the ride area & back and forth from the 2nd st. lot. There will also be beach carts & you are welcome to bring your own beach cart as well. SKIS CAN ONLY BE BEACH LAUNCHED IN OUR RIDE AREA (9TH-14TH ST).

Tentatively, you can drop off your fuel containers @ 2nd st as well, we will mark them as yours with a wristband that we will wrap around the handle. We will store the cans in a large steel container (think trailer container). When you need to re-fuel, we will have an atv retrieve your gas can & we will have a fueling area set up on the beach & you can refuel there. We will return your gas can to our container for you. This is to keep the fire marshall happy. Not quite as convenient as Daytona, but we will make it as easy for you as possible. Also, if you give us a few minutes notice, we will get your gas to you that much faster. We should hear a definite answer as to whether this fuel plan is acceptable, but I believe this is way we will go...

[jetboy1004]

Our friends at Sunrise Cycles & Watercraft will be manning the ATVs!

They have been a HUGE help!:headbang:

Very Cool!!!

Quick question.....


Will I need a lanyard on my 650SX?

[Conquistador]

Quick question.....


Will I need a lanyard on my 650SX?

I would recommend one. I'm sure that VB's finest would appreciate it.:Banane26:

EDIT: if it wasn't originally equipped with one, you aren't required to have one by law. I rode for years without one, but am glad I have one now. especially in the surf!

[Kennay]

Cool. Well, I will try to get one asap, but if I can't oh well. I normally ride in the surf without one anyways. Thanks alot cap'n!

Would you mind sharing with me which one you are using? I see you have a 550, so I guess you are using an aftermarket?

I would go ahead and order a pro design killswitch, but there are multiple part numbers, and I haven't seen a site that sells them that states which will work for open, and which will open for closed circuit switches. I guess I would need one for open, right?

I have a 750 conversion from an SS. When I converted it this past spring, I transferred all the 750 electrics too. Technically you don't need one, but I can tell you I was personally embarrassed after my ski got away from me after only about 10 minutes of riding in Daytona this year.:1244:

Kennay, you can just order the START/STOP faceplate off a K650 TS. It will bolt right on to your existing switch and has a lanyard adapter. I have this on both of my x2's and your sx has the same switch.

[Kennay]

Those are listed on Riva for 75-103 bucks. I can't swing that right now.

[shawn_NJ]

Ya, there like $70 new, for now just turn your idle down low enough that the ski will die if you fall off.

[Kennay]

That's what I do. :)

[Kennay]

and alright alright alright, you guys talked me into it. I ordered a Pro design switch this morning. It was only 35 bucks and I will have it by Wednesday.

[shawn_NJ]

Your call, for the work involved I would have spent the additional $35 to have it a 2 screw installation. Do yourself a favor and dont mess with it until after the ride!

I dont even want to start my skis just incase something breaks before wave daze...!!!

I am already REALLY pushing it financially to make it to Wavedaze. I don't have 35 bucks to spare, seriously. I totally understand what you mean though. I just couldn't justify the extra 35 bucks right now.

[shawn_NJ]

I could not... not ride this weekend.

Took the ski that overheated last week out to make sure its good for the ride. Ran great...whew!
I also hit last minute items before the trip, changed trailer tires/bearing buddies/packed with gease and even replaced the lights. Installed bilge in backup ski.

SOOO FREAKING STOKED FOR THIS WEEKEND.

IS IT FRIDAY YET????

[Kennay]

I'm in the same boat! However, I freakin love riding and will probably going everyday this week :D

[DCRocks]

Just a handful of days left!!!!!!

:bananalama:

[jetboy1004]

What time is everyone planning to be on the beach?? Saturday morning??

[Conquistador]

What time is everyone planning to be on the beach?? Saturday morning??

We will be setting up @ 5am, but plan on starting registration sometime between 7 & 8 am. I'll release details very soon...

[Kennay]

Aw lawd! I actually might be making it to Wavedaze on a squarenose!!!! Oh, the humanity! I will know on Wednesday when i go to look at it. It's got a pretty stock 650, but it's got a skat trak prop, aluminum handlepole, and a different grate. The paint looks pretty cool, too.

[ags0702]

captain- Is there a specific place everyone is meeting up sat. morning to organize people/skis? ie. like one of the streets between 9th and 14th?

[jetboy1004]

I believe Registration will be held in the rear of the surfside Inn ON the beach saturday morning.

[GPnVB]

Registration until 8:30-9 am will take place at 2nd St and Atlantic as will the fuel drop for those requiring secured fuel storage for the weekend. The city would like the skis on the beach as early as possible between 6-8:30. From Registration you will be directed to one of two loading zones, 2nd St or 14th. Both locations will have quads provided by Sunrise Cycle and Watercraft to act as ski and fuel valets, if you will.

Just posted by Derm (organizing registration Sat morning)

"For sit down and stand up riders You will be able to register at the Rudee Ramp from 6:30 am to 9:00am.

For stand up riders You will be able to register at the 2nd street parking lot and drop you fuel can off. Your ski will be towed up the beach to 9th street. from 6:00 am to 9:30am."

Riders unfamiliar with the area will be directed by signs when entering the resort area.

These signs, provided by N2 CAD & Graphics, will direct people to the appropriate locations throughout the southern resort area. Additional signs will indicate areas for registration, parking, fuel drops, etc. Out of towners will be able to enter the resort area and view these signs starting at Pacific Ave.
