Another high-performance boat “storm” is rolling onto Lake Havasu when Monster Storm hits the shores of the Nautical Beachfront Resort from Oct. 12-14. Storm Poker Runs is organizing its 8th annual Monster Storm, formerly known as Monster Bash. The Halloween-themed Poker Run is teaming up with the popular online boating forum, River Dave’s Place (RDP), to simultaneously celebrate the 10th anniversary RDP Regatta.
Monster Storm Reinventing
Storm Poker Runs is reinventing Monster Storm to enhance spectator access to event activities, such as meeting industry icons like Bob Teague, owner of Teague Custom Marine, and Win Farnsworth, owner of the “Low Altitude” turbine 50-foot Mystic boat.
Additionally, the public is invited to wear costumes to the awards and after-parties, both of which will be held at the Nautical (participants only at drivers’ meetings and Saturday dinner party). Spectators are also invited to shop the vendor and sponsor booths that will be on display at the Nautical throughout the weekend, as well as watch the Monster Storm and RDP Regatta participants raft-up for an aerial photo!
