Has Spring Break in Havasu fizzled out? I’ve been researching what’s going on this year, and it all sounds very scaled back from years prior.
if you look outside of our world, there are so many people that don't want them here and do everything in their power to run them off or make their time miserable. Lots of the promoters got tired of dealing with it, and the declining bookings and moved on.
It might not be as popular as in years past, but a somewhat well behaved person will have no problems here. The water can be a little chill though, depends on what you're used to.Thanks. Bummer. Are any of the other lakes more fun for spring break?
Thanks for the reply. What a bummer.I think Havasu has jumped the shark and there is no turning back. I've been coming here 30 years have owned a house for over 20years. The cool little town is gone. Government is getting bigger and will soon start infringing on all the things that make it such a great little town. When I saw the Police with bodycam's and heard they were forming a SWAT team I knew the havasu lifestyle would never be the same. Hopefully the city leaders will keep in mind why people come to havasu and won't completely F it up.
Thanks a lot for the reply. Really appreciate it. Do you know of any concerts/parties/etc. happening the weekend of March 20th?Jason had his stage setup down in the channel and there was a couple hundred kids down there partying.. It isn't anything like it used to be though where tens of thousands descended on the town...
For a town based on tourism, I think it might be a mistake to chase them out of here..

This x2. Schools have done a great job spreading it out. The good ole days are gone for good.When I went to college back in the day, most schools were out for the same week or so. Nowadays every schools spring break is spread out over a almost two month period. The old days of massive spring break parties are long gone. Glad I got to live the era I did.
Spring breakers turn into boaters. We need the young people or the future of boating is much smaller. The average age of someone buying a new boat is in their 50s. When I started boating the age was much younger.
Not sure i agree. I can only go by the kids that are in our group. 10 kids in 4 families. 19-24. All love boats and care as much as I did/do. Personally can’t wait to see what they end up with.I have read several reports of the "YOUNGER" generation,LOL!! They do not attend Racing of any kind,Auto,Boat,Airplane and it seems not buying boats and recreational vehicles. I guess Video Games abd Texting is all they Need in their life.

Granted, I’m old now, but I came to Havasu for spring break for the first time in 2004. 22 years old, new truck, new boat, I was living the fucking dream! I fell in love with Havasu that trip, and have been traveling to there ever since. Had to take a few years off when life bitch slapped me back to reality, but the desire to be there never left. I’m a 3-4-5 total times a year visitor now (Still living in Oregon) but that spring break trip 200% shaped me in a LOT of ways!
well, I see it a whole different way...havasu loves people to visit...the problem is so many won't leave....people are buy'n houses and moving there full time.... no way the city can keep up..havasu has always been come here have your fun, spend some money and go home...I think Havasu has jumped the shark and there is no turning back.

Who you calling old. I think my 1st SB in Havasu was '74. Though I don't party like an animal anymore, still fun to watch. And back in the "old" days we didn't trash every where we went and start fights.I think a lot of it has to do with residents. All the old people who now reside full time in Havasu had no problem partying there asses off back in the day, but now that they’re old, they want the city to enforce more rules and restrictions. Total BS
There’s a whole Lotta old farts that like to go watch the show. Don’t lump them all into the same basket, it’s no different than everybody lumping the young troublemakers into one basket.I think a lot of it has to do with residents.

Calling myself old. Because I have feel like a creeper when they are younger than my kidsWho you calling old. I think my 1st SB in Havasu was '74. Though I don't party like an animal anymore, still fun to watch. And back in the "old" days we didn't trash every where we went and start fights.
I agree. I know I left a piece of my liver in Copper Canyon back in the day... [emoji16]When I went to college back in the day, most schools were out for the same week or so. Nowadays every schools spring break is spread out over a almost two month period. The old days of massive spring break parties are long gone. Glad I got to live the era I did.[emoji16]

I think a bigger hit to the boating market is the cost of a new or used boat . Then toss in you will shunned if your not in a dcb,nordic,or hallet why would young people get into boating . There was a time 4 kids got in a truck that had the best chance of making it to the river and back towing a 18 jet boat with a 455 olds and had the time of there life . Most kids are not willing to be seen in a " gayliner " or a 70's jet boat any more . I think that will be the biggest decline in boating in my opinionSpring breakers turn into boaters.

Did someone say, Drildo?!The 90’s at the sand bar were the best!

Used to love how people would rent those big house boats at Nautical and the first and last thing they say, "don't go to the sandbar!".....Always like 4 houseboats every year at the sandbar. LOL

Another thing to consider is they got the boat up there from havasu. Yet people can’t navigate a 20 something foot boat through the same channel without hitting reeds or getting stuck lolDid someone say, Drildo?!
