Some of you know me as the Seadoo guy on hwy 9 at any rate several times a year I got to events that are specifically for Stand up jet skis,I realize that market is totally dead here besides a few of us diehards.Now enough of that and back to the reason for this post.This year we are putting together a freeride series for the Southeast,that will include points as far South as Pensacola Fl,and as far North as Maryville Tenn.
I have been asked to persue having one of those events at Lake Martin,Wind Creek state park has been chosen as the designated area for this event.For those of you that are not familar with the freeride events,they would be mostly contained in a small area of Wind Creek,and they involve riders doing tricks on their standup jetskis.I have already spoken with the Marine patrol about this and have been given a go ahead by them.An area is to be bouyed off and the event contained inside the bouys.Anyone outside that area is subject to all marine laws and enforcement.
What I want is some feedback and to see if there are any objections from the general boating public about having such an event here?I will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the event if I can,thanks.

I am a stand-up rider on Lake Martin, and although I am not skilled enough to participate in such an event, I would definitely make plans to attend.

I do not own a jetski but you have my total support. Sounds like you have the right approvals. Go for it. Get the signs in all the marinas and stores and magazines. Plan ahead and it will become an annual blast on the lake.

I have 3 standups at the house that my boys ( now 33 & 35 ) & I use to ride. We get them out maybe twice a summer. We use to go to Logan Martin lake with 5 or 6 other riders & ride all day. Would love to do the same at lake martin. Maybe it your post happens we could get a group & ride some.

Will the tricks we see want to make my child try them on a sit-down jet ski? Probably so. Sounds like a good time and I am definitely interested in watching.

You child may want to do these tricks but most are not possible on a sitdown type craft,some of these standup at this event are approaching $20,000-30,000 ,they are not for the weak at heart lol
