| WELCOME TO THE HOME PAGE OF "RITA" THE JETSKI THAT SWIMS ON LAND |
| Welcome to the Island of “Rita”, the Jet ski that swims on land 2008 Rita is now 8 years old. Rita has now been transformed after 8 years; Her look of the first 8 years has been dismantled from her shell and put in a box or vacuumed off the shop floor. Although the old look still looked fresh but weathered it is apparent that we needed to change the flow of what we would like to support in the next few years. We have lost many friends, brothers, sisters and other family members to a much aggressive disease called cancer. This disease comes in many forms and attacks all parts of the body. Our primary goal is helping to bring awareness for breast cancer but all cancers or on our hit list. Riddles in the sand 2011 raised $22,000 for the UTMB Galveston branch. This money will go to assist those others in need of their medical needs and help advance towards a cure for this disease. With furthering our interest in this direction we hope to assist all charity’s in meeting or going beyond their goals to find a cure or assist those who are in need. Rita was built from a 10 ft Kawasaki wave runner and a John Deere lawn tractor. It was literally like attaching a 2x4 to a rock! Now She is an Art Car. An Art Car is a vehicle that is transformed into art, where Her body becomes the canvas. . When the project started early November 2003 I knew exactly what I was after: “The Evolution of a Jet Ski”. I was in search of a watercraft to build my little bit of Paradise. A friend of mine showed up with this poor, mistreated, abused and beaten body of a wave runner. I went to work on her. And when I fired up the first set of lights on her engine cowl and stood in front of her, I knew that she was in fact alive and ready for her new life. I believe we are just a little southeast of disorder! We are members of the Galveston Bay Parrot Head |
