Our friend from Toru Tanaka (pictured) from Rumblefish (ex-employee of Jetwave) informed us that he and his family were not affected by the major earthquake in Japan. Toru also confirmed that Mr Sato and his business Sato Engineering are fine. Most of the damage was actually done in North part of Japan. We hope, that other Japanese riders and business we know in the pwc, are fine too.

Mr Scott Saito of Hot Products USA, confirmed that his brother and his family who live in Japan and is the owner of Hot Products Japan is out of danger from the big earthquake and tsunami. Also, there was no damage done in the business of Hot Products Japan and all personnel of the company are fine. We are happy that at least some people we know for years are finally ok and they managed to survive from this unbelievable earthquake.

Our thoughts and concern are to all out friends in Japan that recently suffered from this major earthquake. We found out from our friend Seiji that Marine Mechanic’s (Masayuki Imazaki) business was washed out from the huge tsunami. It is the work shop that built the twin charger Sea Doo (pictured) that won the Japanese Pro Runabout title in 2010. According to Seiji, Marine Mechanic lost this particular race boat as well as many other race craft, personal watercrafts and boats. Many friends of Imazaki raise supplies and try to support him at this difficult time. Though according to Seiji “The trouble of the nuclear power plant in particular is serious. Because there is a threat that radioactivity leaks, some nuclear reactors stop. On this account an electricity supply falls, and there is the worry to be cut off from tomorrow (13/3).

One thing we do not know is whether Kanamori will prepare his race Ski.
