Bay Area Personal Watercraft Association

Taylor's Bayou Ride has been rescheduled for Sunday May 20, 2012

(Click Here for Ride Details)

BAPWA's primary purpose is to promote water safety and to give Personal Watercraft owners an opportunity to have family fun with coordinated and planned rides. We have an organized ride planned every 2 weeks starting the end of April until the end of October. Most are single day rides and last about 7 hours with several breaks and often a stop for fuel and lunch. These rides cover between 60 to 100 miles. Check the Ride Schedule page for approximate distance listing for each ride.

Does this sound like something you would like to try? Would you like to ride with us? All it takes is to contact us (info@bapwa.com) for the details of the ride and bring with you a signed copy of the Release and Waiver of Liability Form. If you decide to join the association you will need to complete the Membership Form and pay the annual dues at or before the next ride you attend.

Ok Members are you ready to ride?
