2011 RIDER OF THE YEAR

 

BAPWA's primary purpose is to promote water safety and to give Jet Ski owners an opportunity to have family fun with coordinated and planned rides.

This year 2011 we had:

13 planned ride events.

Averaged 27 riders per event.

Traveled over 1,414 miles total on the planned rides. (27 riders X 1,414 miles = 38,178 miles)

24 Yamaha's, 17 SeaDoo's, 8 Honda's, 5 Kawaski's and 1 Polaris.

We also had several get togethers as a group in addition to the regular meals during the rides.

San Bernard River

April 30, 2011

Well it was a fine ride on the River . We had 29 ski's with 35 riders...What a nice turnout for our first ride of the Year!!!...The weather cooperated nicely and 2J's sure hit the spot.(the new owners unfortunately were not told that we were coming). A few brave souls even went into the Gulf, the seas looked pretty rough and they caught alot of air! Looking forward to the next ride

Wallisville

May 14, 2011

Well we ended up with 21 ski's and 27 riders and alot of wind and a chilly beginning and a very busy boat ramp. But I think I can speak for all, It was a good day. None of BAPWA group broke down, but we did end up towing a Ski(Husband and Wife stranded) from Liberty all the way back to Wallisville. Thank's to Philip Jr. we now have an official BAPWA sandwich, known from this day forward as the "Philip Jr. Special". Lunas Mexican Food was awesome as usual. Lets all thank the new members for joining, it was very nice meeting them!

Pine Street/Niblets Ride

May 28, 2011

WOW, WHAT A RIDE !

We had 21 ski's and 26 riders and the day was beautifull. 18 skis departed from Pine street (after a slight delay due to a Bad Battery, Thank you Edwin for helping out one of members !) and we picked up 3 skis at Cows Bayou. Then headed up the Sabine and had an excellent ride around Nibletts and then back to Cows Bayou for a Late lunch. Just remember to request Meat to go with your Hamburger! We dropped the 3 Skis at Cows Bayou after eating and the remaining 18 skis headed back to the Pine street boat ramp. A Nice Ride had by All!

Taylor's Bayou

August 7, 2011

Hi Everybody.

Enjoyed seeing and riding with so many of you yesterday. It wasn't the easiest of rides yesterday with Mother Nature kicking up her wind for the after lunch ride. Slowed us down a bit but ya'll hung in there very well with that and a hot gas stop. Ya'll are a great group to ride with. Hope all is well with Ken's ski. Great teamwork to help him out. Sorry so many had to go back due to the time constraints.
