Jean Bruno Pastorello, winner of 2009 Jet Raid, won the first stage of the Karujet covering 160km and big waves in a class of his own. The Frenchman proved that he is the master of Offshore performance and finished ahead of Jean-Christophe Prayas, Alexandre Barret, Jean-Baptiste Botti and and Teddy Pons. American riders faced mechanical issues but the biggest problem was raised on the Sea Doo front since no Sea Doo rider saw the finish line.
