A recent study conducted for the PWIA by Bowe Marketing Research has revealed that the average pwc owner is 41 years of age and 71% are married with children. Fifty-nine percent of pwc owners are not interested in intensive physical activity but are using their craft mainly for cruising (61%) and to visit friends and family (61%). The study is published on the web site of ICOMIA (International Council of Marine Industry Associations).

Equipped with a Kawasaki 15F engine was only the beginning of this project. Now SE has already made a new hood in order to accommodate the 15F dashboard. Still we have not figured out where on Earth they will put the exhaust pipe (possibly it will be reversed to the front side...). We are very excited to see it running on the water.

Bruno Casa reports as follows: “After realized poll among the pilots and keeping in mind the different aspects that imply the realization of the Jet Raid we have take the decision of carrying out the edition 2010 in Uruguay. This country is already expert since the event was done there in the 2006 in its first incursion in the American continent and it returns now more strong than before. It will have 30 percent river and 70 percent ocean beginning in the river Uruguay in the frontier with Argentina and arriving to the oceanic costs of the department of Rocha. It will be a mixture of technical stages and of resistance since the distances lengthened arriving to the 1200Km. of race. In this edition we work in the possibility of having pwc for rent that increase and reduce the foreign interest in the event. We don´t discard the option of being able to carry out an European stage of the Jet Raid but not yet they are confirmed the minimum conditions for the same one.”

After serving the scene of personal watercrafts fro more than twenty years the American magazine Personal Watercraft Illustrated known also as PWI closed down (4/1/2010) due to the consequences of the global economic crisis. It has been the No1 pwc magazine world wide for many years and its unique structure and features inspired so many other publishers and editors worldwide. We found out about it on the 4rth of January though the company had verified a month afterwards. We hope that it will emerge again in the market in the near future.
