Actually, the US Freestyle PWC Championship includes competitors of all ages and genders. Come cheer on juniors, ladies, beginners, veterans, pros, and more as they cut their way through the waves and catch air. The main freestyle competition begins at 1:30 pm on Saturday, May 13th. Each rider performs a two-minute routine and will be allowed two attempts at their best tricks. Winners are chosen by the difficulty, variety, quantity, and execution of successfully completed feats.

You might want to arrive a bit early. Parking can be a bear. If you plan on playing out on the water before the competition begins, pay attention to the designated course. It will be clearly marked and should be well patrolled. You need to stay outside the area in order to keep yourself and the riders safe. Have fun and enjoy yourself.

With St. Patrick's Day just a couple of weeks away, it seems fitting that the Bluegrass on the Beach Music Festival 2023 takes place in March as well. Why?
