This site is dedicated to promoting the new surge of surf and flatwater riding within the PWC community. It is hopeful that the AWA, X-Games and other PWC event promoters will realize the excitement and enthusiasm that is unfolding around the globe. You will find that most people here are as interested in getting their musclecraft to 80mph, just as much as others are in maximizing their hang time over the rolling water. The real driving factor is the available power made to provide that adrenaline rush for the day. A large group of the Wavejunkies have tuned their PWC's to maximize the low end torque, this placement of the power curve allows the most control of launching off of a wave. Racers or rec riders usually prefer to maximize the engines top end speed and RPM's to gain advantage on the closed course. No matter what you use your PWC for, your input or experience would be a great asset to the wavejukies, if you looking for answers to questions feel free to post up in the trash talk forum. See you on the water, peace out. |

More on that later. Now it's time to join the AWA and get a complimentary subscription to Ride magazine! The Jan/Feb 2008 issue just started shipping and I imagine will be available for any new subscribers for at least the next month or so. Our Virginia Beach Wavejunkies AWA charter club and Wavedaze coverage includes some awesome shots by Dave at Reelaction Photography and some great inputs but charter club and Wavedaze organizers BS and Allen. 
This issue marks the fourth or fifth time junkies have been spotted in the nation's top magazine for covering freeride events. Obviously there are more freeriders included than just us but it's still pretty cool! Get your subscription and be sure to bring this issue out to your next junkie ride for some autographs! Haha, check the trash talk forum for info on or for setting up the next ride.

 Power in numbers folks!! I can't stress this enough. We are fortunate that we have the American Watercraft Association (AWA) on our side. In October 2007 the Wavejunkies hosted the First Annual Wavedaze at the Virginia Beach ocean front. This event would NOT have happened without the support of the AWA or the hard work of two dedicated wavejunkies, Capehenry and CapitanBS.
The AWA brings together personal watercraft enthusiasts, dealers and manufacturers to |

 That time of year has come and gone again, and what a time it was! Where to start? I don't think any amount of words can possibly convey the fun, the energy, and the partying that was had by all - you're really just going to have to catch the caravan down next time!
Some EIGHTEEN junkies and significant others made the three-day Daytona Motosurf event this year. Mike and his ladies drove from Maryland with his ski; Air Gramps, junior air, zimmy, fusion, lucke, lovin, spasm, phildo, gpnvb, capitanBS, and their chicks all caravanned from Virginia Beach with like 12 skis on three trailers (one pulled by phil's Civic!); masterblaster flew of course, as did a couple others; and Pitstop and I commuted an hour up the road! Not many regulars missed this one. Most of the fun was spent hanging out with each other and other freerider friends we've met at these events. And there was a little fun to be had on the water as well. Air/water temps in the 80's/60's and surf mostly between 3-6ft made for terrific conditions. I still have a lot of video riding footage to go through so stay tuned a couple weeks from now for the next Wavejunkies vid! |
