2014 Ride The Tide Yamaha Variety Jet Trek

Australia is ready to do it for the kids, again. The 2014 Ride the Tide Yamaha Variety Jet Trek will be a 50 PWC ride down the coastline between Port Macquarie and Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast. This event will raise money through Variety – the Children’s Charity for Queensland – for Australian children in need.

“We’ve taken the same mix of camaraderie, adventure and philanthropy that you see on the Variety Bash and with the help of our sponsor, Yamaha, transferred it on to the water and created this brilliant event to help Queensland kids in need,” said Rob Goodwin, Motoring Events Director at Variety Queensland.

Trekkers for the cause have come from places as far as Tasmania, Sydney and northern Queensland to participate in hopes of helping the sick, disadvantaged or special needs kids of Australia. Participants will travel through towns and communities, visiting and in some cases delivering equipment and assistance to children and schools in need along the way.

Over the course of 6 days, participants will travel approximately 600km, leaving from Port Macquarie on February 24 and arriving in Mooloolaba on March 1. They will visit towns such as: Port Macquarie, Nambucca Heads, Coffs Harbour, Wooli, Yamba, Ulmarra, Ballina, Kingscliff, Jacobs Well, Brisbane, Bribie Island and Sunshine Coast.

Throughout the course of their journey, the participants will be part of a coastal convoy that will include medical staff, mechanics and other PWC specialists in order to maintain a safe ride for all the Trekkers.

In order to be apart of the trek, participants have to raise a minimum of $2,000 donation as an entry fee. With the kids on their minds, many trekkers stretch far above the minimum.
