>Kevin Reiterer wins Pro Ski Open

Pro Ski Open was the only IJSBA class at the World Finals that had three motos. Each and every one of them was so hard since the boats were faster this year and the riders showed up with great fitness a fact that made racing even more exciting. Tyron and Dustin Motzouris along with Kevin Reiterer appeared on a new set up (New hull with a New engine), Mike Klippenstein competed on a very fast boat too and the big news was that Chris MacClugage was not competing in this class. Two strokes were far less behind in terms of horse power and top speed compared to the four-stroke missiles however when the conditions became rough Valentin Dardillat and Jeremy Poret closed the gap. In Moto 1 the situation was pretty clear. Klippenstein got the lead in front of Reiterer and Dustin Motzouris. However Klippenstein had his own issues therefore Reiterer got the checkered flag in front of Dustin Motzouris and Dardillat. Jeremy Poret appeared very strong in Moto 2 when the wind was blowing hard and the riders on four-strokes seemed to be be having an issue to ride hard their extra strong boats. Many riders experienced problems in the log jump or they were missing buoys. Poret, Dardillat and Jimmy Wilson were the top three finishers. Poret took the lead in Moto 3 in front of Skion and Dardillat. Reiterer, and Dustin Motzouris were following further back. Poret was in a very good pace. Dardillat passed the Norwich rider to get second and finally Reiterer moved up to third place. However, due to many rider that missed buoys and docked a lap (like Motz) Reiterer managed to clinch his second world title at the World Finals with Dardillat getting second overall and Skion Schjetlein toping the top three. Motz and Klipper did not manage to get a podium finish.
