Joining the Tampa Bay Ski Club Inquiry

MGerard · 09-05-2009, 09:10 AM

I recently moved into the Tampa Bay area I currently have 2 skies and I am looking for a good club that has a lot of activity. I was thinking of joining the Tampa Bay Jet Ski Club. All the pictures I been viewing of past activities I don’t see any African American. Anybody have any feedback on what kind of club is it or is there a club that African American is welcome in the area. Any information will be welcome

Hi MGerard,

Welcome to Tampa Bay. While I am not new to Tampa Bay, I am new to the PWC scene. We had a boat before, and decided to downsize to a PWC. I too have been looking at the Tampa Bay Jet Ski Club, and I am thinking of joining. Looking at their website, they seem to have a nice group of people, and they do a lot of activities. We are going to head down to Ana Maria Island tomorrow, and probably put in at the Coquina Beach ramp. Hopefully there will be parking by the time we get there.

Everyone is welcome here. The best thing to do is going the tbjc fourm and introduce yourself and just start talking. there are new ride locations posted every week. Today there is a group meeting out at Egmont key.. 6 ski's or so around 12pm. i love riding in new places so i will jump around alot.. longboat key to port richey and everywhere in between. keep checking between pwc and tbjc for ride dates and just jump in, you are sure to have a blast.... and welcome to the fourms...

Everyone is invited to join the club, we don't discriminate. It is a very nice group of people. I have been with the club since the beginning and while it has been more active in the past we do have a lot of members that are currently making an effort to get the club active again. Please come to one of the rides and meet us and see what you think. I unfortunately just had my engine go out so my family is down to one ski at the time with 3 adult size people needing to ride it. If you join the forum please make sure and fill out all of the information so the admin doesn't kick you back out. We get a lot of spam admission so we are very careful not to let them ruin the board. Like Chris said a lot of our riders are going out today to Egmont and I will probably be riding tomorrow somewhere but I am not sure where yet. Check out the board and you will see we don't care who you are as long as you are considerate of others on the water.

Sorry to hear about your ski I know how you feel with one ski . Due to my busy schedule I might not be able to make all the ride but I will certainly will try to make one of the club meet before the regular riding season is over.

Over? One of our best rides is the polar bear ride January 1st every year no matter what. Hope to see you out on the water. I see you did register on our site. Keep checking someone will be riding somewhere soon.

MGerard,

I met a few of the members today at Anna Maria Island, and decided to join both the AWA and Tampa Jet Ski Club. I just submitted the registration to have access to the forum. It still has to be approved. I am also waiting to be approved at the AWA site, so that I can go in and look at my user profile, and hopefully get the membership number.
