    Best Jet-Ski Shoes

    This is the shoe I got from sams. https://www.samsclub.com/p/eddie-bauer-mens-water-sandal/P990322728 I like the shoe by itself when it's dry but when it's wet, after several hours, it can rub down the skin. I took the insert out of the shoe and used a wetsuit sock with a padded bottom. These...

    2025 Daytona Freeride

    We stayed in Daytona. I only saw 1 persona on the beach when I scoped out the ride zone on Friday and I was there by myself on Saturday. The kids didn't know the difference and the riding conditions were good for me but I did miss the event.

    2025 Daytona Freeride

    The tides seem about what they normally would be. Theres been plenty of years where during the event the water has come up to the poles. There's hurricane damage to various seawalls and beach access but the water doesn't seem higher. Maybe it's just that it's pretty flat and the waves aren't...

    Anyone change Nanco beach cart tires?

    The tires to replace the beach cart tires are the "Nanco N800". They are available a numerous sites. A tube would have worked for me but I didn't know where to find a tube, or what tube specifically to buy, so I got the Nanco N800 set. I got the N800 tires and dropped them off at a regular...

    beach cart tires

    Came across this thread looking for tires. I know this thread is 4 years old. If anyone out there in google world ends up here, you can buy from the bigfoot manufacturer, Florida Sailcraft. At this time, they only had rim for $45 and assembly for $130. No tire only option, and the spread on...

    2025 Daytona Freeride

    How strict are they in the PWC zone about Reg numbers and fire extinguishers? Am I not going to be able to ride the official zone without them? My ski is registered, I just need to get my wrap done and put the stickers on. Also, the piece on the back of my hood ripped out so I don't have an...

    Best Jet-Ski Shoes

    I have been wearing an Eddie Bauer water sandal from Sam's. I really like them. They are a good general purpose shoe but might not be as good for those inverting. They can rub the ankle after many hours of being wet, but work excellent with a wet suit sock if you are spending all day wet. The...

    2025 Daytona Freeride

    No, they made a post or 2. A post in not an announcement. Posts are a conversation amongst a group. An announcement is when you grab everyone attention and make sure everyone hears you. @everyone is an announcement. Highlight posts are an announcement. Inviting the group to the event page is an...

    2025 Daytona Freeride

    The only place I plan to try to ride is the PWC zone in Daytona, probably on 1/17 and/or 1/18. The other dates and locations wont work for us.

    2025 Daytona Freeride

    We're keeping our trip. We're at the Hampton just north of the Hardrock. I'm going to borrow a surf board. I may make it to the PWC zone. I may not. I wish they would have done a better job announcing the change but I have no animosity for the event organizers.

    2025 Daytona Freeride

    The dates were definitely changed. People will still be there during the original dates but those are not event dates. I would assume as they are not event dates, that you will only be allowed to ride in the Jet Ski zone and will need to buy a zone pass. I believe that zone is in a very...

    2025 Daytona Freeride

    Did I pull the event dates of 1/16-1/19 completely out of my ass or am I correct in thinking that they had announced the dates and then changed them after the fact?

    Rule announces new series of Bilge pumps

    Will the SJ brackets fit in a 2024 FX Cruiser HO? That's the part I'm mostly asking about.

    Rule announces new series of Bilge pumps

    Is anyone making a bracket to hold the new style rule 500 bilges, specifically for a FX Cruiser? I want them to put a bilge in our new rescue ski and would like to use a bracket like what I have on my superjet. Also we will be using a rule float switch. I don't have experience with the new style...

    Is the sport / market declining?

    Only read 1 page. Don't forget we're getting pushed out as well. The lake I ride at has 50ft of shore we used that is now roped off with a sign about saving the fish. I suspect they just used the fish as an excuse but the place we used to gather is no longer an option. I can still ride from the...
