Come out for the 4th annual Watcon Lake Michigan Surf Ride. It’s a recreational ride, so load up your ski and prepare to enjoy three days on the lake. Meet new friends and catch up with old buddies. All are welcome and the people from Watcom want to remind you are not required to be a sanctioned rider.
The 2018 ride takes place on the shores of Lake Michigan at Pennoyer Park in Kenosha, WI. The dates are set for August 25-27. Check in begins Friday with an open ride so people can get used to the surf on the lake. A meet and greet will be held at a local restaurant.
Saturday is a jam packed day filled with festivities and good times. It all begins with the opening ceremonies, including a flag presentation and group photos. The main Surf Ride takes place and spectators can watch the riders throw down huge moves during the Big Air Freestyle event. The event organizers know everyone will be hungry after an action packed day on the water, so a BBQ dinner on the beach will be provided. Sunday is a day to chill with a nice ride or hanging out on the beach.
Check is open from 8am to 5pm all three days. The promoters ask that no one take gear to the beach until checking in. A release form must be signed and your PWC must be tagged. Participation costs $40 and includes a necessary wristband, event sticker for your machine, parking, and unlimited access to the beach during operating hours. Since the event is permitted, all participants must register. No registration, means no riding. The ride area will be marked with white buoys.
Have fun and if you need more information, a contact form and phone number are available at the bottom of the Watcon Lake Michigan Surf Ride Page.
