2018 Skyway Ski Show Donates $5,000 to Clothes to Kids

​On March 6, 2018, The Watercraft Superstore hosted their 6th annual Skyway Ski Show. The event started Monday night with a beautiful sunset dinner at Whisky Joe’s. WCSS Manager, Stephanie Mosny, welcomed guests and presented the $5,000 charity donation to Jennifer Jacobs, Development Director of Clothes to Kids.

Clothes to Kids is a nonprofit organization that collects clothing donations for school-aged students. Their stores in Clearwater and Seminole are open to shoppers who have kids that qualify for free-and-reduced lunch in the public school system. Many students in the community are in need of clean clothing to wear to school, especially outfits that meet the school uniform requirements. WCSS’s donation will help Clothes to Kids stock their stores and open a new location in Hillsborough this year. 
 
On Tuesday morning, manufacturers from Seadoo and Yamaha showcased their best PWCs of the season. Panelists took notes on the beach while they reviewed the key features and value of the skis. After the information session, panelists suited up in their new Jet Pilot gear and took off in the Tampa Bay to test drive the skis. Riders spent the morning switching skis and pushing each watercraft to its limit. After the morning ride, panelists returned to the beach for lunch and reflection. Panelists scored the PWCS on categories like ergonomics, speed, value, stability, and most importantly, fun! “It’s a tough job spending your Tuesday playing on the water in the Florida sunshine, but someone has got to do it,” said panelists, Sage Pickren. The winner of this year’s ski of the year award was the Sea-Doo GTX Limited!
