"We only visited for an hour but it was a great event."
TRUDI CORCUTT
"Brilliant! Was a good weekend"
NEIL TERRY
"I'm gutted I had no idea of this event. I only learnt of it afterwards so I thought I'd give your page a follow in the hope of not missing it next year as it looks a great event that I'd love to point my camera at."
BECKY JOANNE
"Been absolutely fantastic! We'll see you next year."
GUY REDSHAW
"Am waiting 'not patiently' for the 2024 date."
SHAUN WALTERS
"Brilliant event, well done everyone involved."
TERRY MORGAN
"What a great time Carl and I had........ I know how much I spent in Bridlington... if we all did the same what a boost for the towns economy.... many thanks to Paul and all the marshals and photographers first aiders etc that make this happen and long may it continue".
HOLLIE COOKE

CARNABY RETREAT

HODGE HOWDEN

BRIAN GRAHAM
"Will be going again next year, will book as soon as you release the new date."
JAX CLOUGH
"We loved it, had a fabulous weekend and it was free. You made it so special, thank you."
KIM WITHAM
"Fantastic weekend, really enjoyed it, thank you to everyone involved for all your hard work to make it an unforgettable weekend for the drivers and spectators - Well done."
DAVE GIBBONS
".....Our first time there, and myself and my crew had a brilliant weekend making the long trek from Canterbury worthwhile. In typical Yorkshire fashion, everyone was very welcoming and the event was well organised. Looking forward to coming back."
MIRIAM JANSSEN
"It was great!! Such a wonderful good organised event......"
STEVE SWAN
"Sign me up...very much hope to bring my BSA along to the next one."
VICKY ELLISON
"Loved every minute of the weekend, just about thawed out now but still grinning from ear to ear."
JON FISHER
"First time to this event and it was absolutely amazing to see these vehicles in action. Thank you."
KATHRYN SMITH
"Loved it!"
VICTORIA COOKE
"We had a great time watching all the cars & bikes on Sunday.... can't wait to watch it again next year!"
ZOE KEELING JONES
"Our first visit and definitely not our last, a fantastic event."
KEVIN LAMB
"Absolutely superb weekend still smiling, a big thank you to all involved."
MATT KAY
"Need to build myself a Hotrod and take part next year!"
CHRIS WARBURTON
"I'm still grinning from ear to ear wondering how I'm going to bankrupt myself and what on before next year's event."
PISTON CLICK
"The event did indeed attract a lot of tourists so job done on that front, it was packed. They also managed to attract a lot of great looking hot rods, motorcycles and some quite frankly strange looking vehicles for the four days the show was on. The idea of Race the Waves is to get a load of hot rods and custom motorcycles on the beach, mark out a 1/8 of a mile and then set them off in pairs in a sandy drag race. Make it free to watch and the Yorkshire town of Bridlington gets loads of tourists turning up to spectate and spend a bit of cash in the local community. I think that sums up Race the Waves, a fun unique seaside event that everyone, petrolhead or otherwise, will enjoy."
VISIT BRIDLINGTON
