Well, 40 years ago Kawasaki advertisements were clearly presenting the new sport as a mean of entertainment for the family. Back in those days you could have fun a lightweight JS400. Forty years later Moe (daughter of Minoru and Emi Kanamori) illustrates on her best that Kawasaki still makes Jet Skis under the same philosophy. In other words there is not much difference between riding a 30hp stand-up and a 300hp Supercharged Runabout.

Christophe Girello of TechOneRacing is preparing once again Chris MacClugage’s triple cylinder SX-R. The engine is ported and assembled by Cristophe and a Bullett Racing V2 Wideboy hull has been used. Soon Christophe will be on the water for testing along with multi National and World champion, Chris MacClugage.

Until recently Kommander Industries built most of their triple cylinder engine by using the classic R&D intake manifold. However the Phoenix based company recently released its brand new triple intake manifold which features a speed plate too in order to be able to remove quickly the carbs for tuning or inspection. Available from Kommander Industries.

The illustrated sponsons were tested by Sammy Pajalin of 88Motorsport.fi They are equipped with two backing plates of different width in order to be adjusted to the rider’s preference. The blade itself comes from a Sea-Doo RXP-X and the whole package is very good for close course racing according to Sammy. The set costs 545euro and its already available from www.88Motorsport.fi

The particular triple-cylinder SX-R was prepared by the crew of Kommander Industries and Steve Webster for New Zealander Trent Brown. Among many tricky things it features the latest V-Drive Trinity Composites hull and Kommanders new intake manifold, exhaust system and fine tuning spec. Read all about the V-Drive hull and Kommander’s triple SX-R on the Race Tests section.

Owner Dale Hammerel “I have is Jeff Jacobs 1998 world final winning pro mod ski. The ski has low hrs on it and has always been garaged. Does that kind of history hold any value in water craft sport. The ski rides great and we managed to radar a 65 mph run out of it. I lost track of the sport now a days. If anyone is interested on buying please e-mail me on dalehammerel@comcast.net”

Multi National and World Champion Craig Warner, factory pilot of Team Kawasaki Jet Ski Racing made a strong come back at the Wets Coast series first Round which was held in Parker, AZ. Craig puts it in his own words “It was a great weekend. I did not plan on racing ski due to no time on one since last year sometime, but I wanted to test a new design that I have been working on with a fast ski. So I finished the changes Friday before the race and headed out there with it. Amazingly it worked absolutely flawless and made the hull very easy to ride. I honestly could not ride completely to my potential, but I just set a pace above or the same as the field, didn't make one mistake, and just destroyed the field. The hull just worked very well and predictable so it was some what easy, even not riding a ski for some time. I don't want to disclose my changes I made to the hull because it worked so well and made a big difference on a ski with big power. This set up is more focused on the spec 2 hull that is manufactured by myself. My spec 1 hull works very well also, and I will be racing it at the next round. I really enjoyed racing my hull and the way it worked more than any other hull I have ever raced. Looking forward to the next round on the spec 1 hull.”
