I want to thank everyone, riders, friends, and spectators for coming out to the 2012 Thrust Innovations Daytona Beach Freeride. We had an amazing turnout and registered over 250 skis, 350 riders and well over 1000 people on the beach. I would also like to thank all my sponsors who came through and brought gear and goodies for everyone and the IJSBA for sanctioning the ride. Without companies suppporting this ride I would not be able to provide a safe and action filled freeride. Big thanks to Mike Young for running the motosurf race and sickest trick contest.

Don't miss the Friday night Meet & Greet Party at Dimitris On The Beach. It's walking distance from the Makai. Just walk south on A1A about 100 yards and it will be on your right.

The Ryan Ruano Memorial Moto-Surf and Sickest-Trick. The show will be 1-3pm, featuring the bad-ass watercross warriors of the IJSBA and the high-flying mental cases of Freeride...vying for a Pro cash purse and awards to the top 3 in each Class! Entry Forms and Classes will be available soon!!! Go Big or Go Home! I hope to see you in DAYTONA!!!

Coral Beach Resort will be offering discounts for all freeride attendees. When reserving romms just tell them you want the "Daytona Freeride Rate" and they will hook you up with a discount. If you have already reserved your room they will honor the discount as well, just let them know when you check in. Big thanks to the Coral Beach for extending this offer. 

Just a reminder about the Makai (host hotel). They have done a number of improvements including new beds, new doors, working hot tub, new owner, 2 full time security guards and access to parking lot across the street. 

They will be enforcing the noise violations unlike the past. No more loud partying in the parking lot after 10pm. This should not be a big issue and is pretty common anywhere you go. We have been pretty crazy in the last 7 years and they have really looked the other way. This year they will not allow it.
