[indybob]

Now that's funny Clarity, I look forward to seeing you again...lol

April Boardie Bash History Triva Challenge :
What two ladies started the very first April boardie bash ?
Why and where and when was it held.

I bet very few on here now know this....lol

Stan... were we there?

[Manda81]

Clarity .. I too look forward to meeting you one day and I hope soon!! My mean horrible monster of a boss .. I'm not even sure Cameron Diaz and Jessica Alba could sway his grouchy ways. But I can only promise that I will continue to try until there is not an ounce of hope.

Cindy's are on the left....

I hope so Indy because you would actually look pretty cute with the polka dots high heels!

[Rasta Stan]

Hey Rasta Stan! Look forward to meeting you in April!
I don't know the answer but I can't wait to find out

How many Boardie Bashes have you attended Rasta Stan?
Who (attending this one) will have been to the most (excluding Rob of course)?

I have only missed one April boardie bash since they started, Rob was not at the first several ones held.
Rob took over the April boardie bash and it's planning and started broadcasting them from the beach.
One of the best attended ones was in year two I believe when we had about one hundred people show up and it was on the cliffs at night.

Yes Indy you are one of the early peeps to come out , but you didn't have those cute shoes...lol.... the runners are nice too.

That's awesome Rasta Stan!
I am super excited to be attending, for my very first time! But definitely not my last, I am sure!

We have had some folks give up their spots on the Magic Bus recently, so there are more openings available

Also, I had already discussed with a few others about taking a great boardie day trip with our good friend Chicken and his Magic Bus (seats about 20 or more) www.Chickensmagicbus.com
So far, we had discussed going early in the week, probably Tuesday April 24th, for a trip out to YS Falls and the Pelican Bar (we of course can discuss / modify the date and trip destinations with any who are interested)
So far for that list I have:
Shauna and Raul (Marley & Ralonzo)
Booger and Sandie
Clarity and Hubby-man
Luvsdaislands
Steve & Jacky – spottycatz
Brasi
luvjabad (tentatively)
Tizzy +1
suzieQ


So the deal will be $30 per person for the bus ride. We will have to pay the entry fee at YS Falls which is $15 and then we will also have to arrange the boat ride to the pelican bar which is typically $10-20, so we will be looking at around $60-70 per person for the whole trip I would say.
Right now we have 14 people on the list, the bus can hold 20 comfortably, so if anyone else is interested feel free to add your name to the list!

Any one else interested? Just add your name to the list. It will be a fun day for sure! So looking forward to meeting all of you!

April Boardie Bash Triva answers :
"And Now for the rest of the story"....lol

-The First One was started by two boardie ladies named Seatheworld and Jamaica Blondie aka T & T , aka Martina and Tami. Both seldom post anymore.
-It was held at 3 Dives as were the first few years as well.
-It started as a get together for my birthday in April on the 24.
-Boardies from several boards at the time attended and was a Great time, so it continued every year since.We also held one or two at MiYard too.
-It was held after April 15 th so we could get better rates on hotels at this was then the cut off for low season rates. As i could only get two weeks a year vacation at a time.
-It was moved to the main beach many years later to the Boat Bar as one of the sweet ladies from the board named Juli (aka Juju) was staying there and a beach location was decided on.Rob started broadcasting them from there and it became a main stay of many April visitors to gather ever since thanks to Rob.
-A little foot note, T & T have met up with Betty and I every year since then in April except one when we couldn't make it. They took a photo of us to all the places they visited that
year and posted them all on the board, love dem ladies.
Looking forward to seeing them both again this year but they will not be at the boardie bash that they started so many years ago as they are coming much earlier in the month.

So looking forward to meeting many of you again this year and remember you may meet some life long friends there. You never know.So come on out.
Rob will be posting a time and location soon but the date is April 27th I believe.
soooooon come.

Great story Rasta Stan.....thanks for sharing that.
It's great to know the history behind how things get started, and I surely never knew it originally started to celebrate your birthday, how cool!!

[TizzyATX]

Lame! Who bailed on the day trip? Smoking section looks a little empty lol

jk

I'm soooooo stoked for this trip

[Sweetness]

OK looks like my tentative will soon be "yes mon" but don't have the final dates yet. Have you set a date for your outing? Can I sign up for two for now and let you know once I confirm? Otherwise I will take my chances that you will have two seats in a few weeks.

Tizzy - how funny would it be to meet in Negril instead of here in Austin where we both live (lol) Awesome!
