The IJSBA is very pleased to announce that the Jet Ski Sport will remain as one of the disciplines of the Asia Beach Games. The Asia Beach Games, held every other year, will next be held in October 2010 at Muscat in the nation of Oman. We received comments from the Olympic Council of Asia that they were pleased with the Jet Ski Sport and that they thought the Jet Ski Sport’s growth would fit nicely with the growth of the Beach Games. The organization of the IJSBA staff were instrumental in demonstrating the potential of PWC racing. The IJSBA would like to thank the staff who made this possible: Karen Baron, Joe Baron, Melody Nolan, Jeremy Hoyland, Bob Crabtree, Martha Frazier, Peter DeSmet, Jon Currier, Julia Currier, Mike Hodges and Kristina Iantosca. We would also like to thank the members of the Indonesia Jet Sports Boating Association (IJBA): Fully Aswar, Grace Taryoto, Heru Taryoto and all of their staff. We also would like to thank Persero Lubricants for their sponsorship of this portion of the Beach Games. We wish Persero luck in their new line of lubricants launched under the name of Mestan Marine Products. The IJSBA will have more information pertaining to the 2010 Asia Beach games and the Jet Ski Sport events as soon as it becomes available.
