Jettribe, is well-established core Watercraft Company that has been around since 1996. The watercraft industry has been steadily growing over the last few years, allowing them to expand and design products to grow with it. Jettribe also designers and manufacturers for many of the top surf and skate brands, so they definitely know what it takes to make a quality product. But their passion remains in the Watercraft Industry. Jettribe wants to bring PWC product development to a whole new level and they know that they can't do that without products that are efficient, durable and speak as loud as they do. All of the products that Jettribe designs and produce are what they use themselves. Jettribe knows that there is no greater thrill than the experience of riding a PWC and Jettribe is here to make it even better, both in and out of the water. A “Sneak Peek” of their most anticipated Riding Gear will be shown at their 60ft Jettribe Booth at the upcoming 2008 IJSBA World Finals from October 4-12, 2008 in the City of Lake Havasu, Arizona. Jettribe has been attending this event for the past decade selling product and supporting their team members at World Finals.

Finally this year we have a Nation Cup on the Jet Raid. In this way the local partner is planning to have an inaugural and closure party like in BEIJING 2008. Following this line during the event we are going to have an Olympic flame in the paddock at CHORRILLOS, Lima on fire all the days of race. The Nation Cup will be a competition between all the representing of the different countries. For the nation overall it is going to be taken the 2 best places each day of the general overall, no matter if it is f1 or f2. If the country has only one representing the position it is going to be increase of 20 per cent of points to give him a better chance to win. Each country must have a representing, not a pilot to defend the right of his country. This kind of race it is going to give the pilots a better option to have the support of their country federation, because he will represent himself but also his country. In case of f2 teams with 2 nations the points of the daily overall will go to both countries only if they are on the jet both of them that day. We (Jet Raid organisation) are going to have a special award for this Nation Cup.

Multi National and World champion Chris “The Mac Attack” Mac Clugage recently informed us (www.jetskiworld.gr) that he will attend the World Finals this year and he will race in GP Ski class. Although, we know that he has built a new hull for the Ultra 250X, Mac Clugage does not plan to race the particular race craft at the moment. Mac Clugage’s GP Ski is a mix of a Kawasaki SX-R hull and a two-stroke Sea Doo XP950 engine.

Famous tuner and owner of Jet Ski Unlimited Steve Webster makes his comments on new Yamaha FZ series: “FZR and FZS. Basically the same boat with the exception of the rear seat and that the FZS (3 seater) has a boarding step and security mode. This is an awesome ski. Very quick with good handling. It is much shorter than the FX hull and is a completely new upper and lower deck. The new telescopic bars are very functional and allow you stand up and ride the ski and not feel cramped or bent over. It turns very well and handles the chop better than any other stock ski I have ridden. I would guess the top speed to be right at 67-69mph. This will be a great race ski with lots of potential for motor upgrades”.
