National Powerboat Association events take place in high traffic water.
Being a good sportsman, practicing safe boating and keeping your eyes open are as important as maintenance, good fuel and wearing your PFD for an exciting day on the water.

What is a Race?

A race is a competition of speed either on a specified, continuous course or to a specific point. The competitors in a race try to complete the given task in the shortest amount of time.
race  verb

What is a Poker Run?

A Poker Run is not a race.  A Poker Run is an activity orientated, fun filled and safe event.  It is a game of chance played with poker cards and an assembly of vessels of all pedigree and proportion.  A Poker Run is fun, enjoyable boating  and a time for powerboaters to reestablish old acquaintances and to make new friends. 
Each participating boat navigates a charted course which includes designated checkpoints and sealed envelopes, with each envelope containing a single playing card.  At the final checkpoint the envelopes are opened and the crew holding the best poker hand is declared the winner.

The National Powerboat Association is dedicated to the advancement of powerboating in America
through event promotions and productions and as a purveyor of powerboats, powerboat equipment, videos, and sportswear. 
Conceived in 1976 with various regional events and upgraded in 1982 to national events,
the N.P.B.A.'s boating experience assures premium shows and quality products.
