Space Coast Jet Riders: About the Club

About the Club

Space Coast Jet Riders (SCJR) is a chartered American Watercraft Association (AWA) club, located on the beautiful Space Coast of Florida. Currently, we have members not only from all over Florida, but also from as far away as New Jersey.

The SCJR Club is a group of fun-loving, responsible personal watercraft (PWC) (more commonly known as "jetski") riders, always looking for new waters to explore and new friends who "support the sport."

Waters and areas explored on club rides include:

Indian and Banana Rivers
Sebastian Inlet
Silver Glen Springs
St. Augustine
St. John's River
Suwanee River
Jensen Beach
Lovers Key
Key Largo ...even the Bahamas!
You are invited on any of our rides listed on the Calendar page, or to attend any of our monthly meetings. Feel free to contact anyone on the Executive Board to learn more about the club, too.

Our monthly meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m., located at:
Beef O' Bradys
3030 Lake Washington Road
Melbourne, Florida, 32935

President
	Curt Smith, 321-242-2054, maacoman2@hotmail.com February 2006 • Born and raised in southern N.J. • Attended the University of Miami for college and graduate school. • Returned to N.J. for 12 years and dabbled in real estate. • Owned several small businesses, including a photography business. • Met my wife Linda there and some 30 years later we now have a daughter and 3 grand kids. • We bought a Maaco Collision Repair franchise in 1986 and moved here that same year • Affiliated with the IJSBA and AWA since 1998 • Co-founder of Space Coast Jet Riders in the fall of 1999 • Served as first president in Jan. 2000; held the office for the first three years. • I have a real passion for our sport and want every PWC owner to understand how important it is for them to be involved in protecting our sport from those that want to restrict our right to ride. The best way to protect our sport is to join a club like SCJR and the AWA on a national level. There is strength in numbers. Stand up and be counted. If not you, who?

I have been very involved ever since and have met wonderful new friends and discovered beautiful riding places in Florida with the club. • My favorite rides are the Gulf at Lover’s Key, Fernandina Beach, Jensen Beach, but mostly the lazy days of summer break on the Indian River. Manatees, dolphins, turtles, it doesn't get any better than that! Join to learn where Dead Tree Island and Horseshoe Crab Bluff are!!!!!!!

Spending that “coupon” opened up a whole new world of delight, intrigue and joy. • A decade and five skis later, my fabulous husband, Frank, and I have the ultimate hobby. Space Coast Jet Riders has had an incredible impact on expanding our horizons. New friends, new scenery, new rides, shared safety/mechanical information and sponsoring charitable events makes SCJR the best club organization
