Hydro-Turf National Watercross Tour rolled into Panama City Beach and lit up the Boardwalk Beach Resort. In the Pro Runabout Open class Abdullha Alfadhel from Kuwait rode a great holeshot to victory in MOTO 1 aboard his Dean's Team Yamaha. Aero Aswar from Indonesia showed flashes of the brilliance that won him a Kings Cup last year on his Jet Tribe powered Yamaha to take a 2nd. Australia's James Bushell had to battle back from a poor start but was able to rally to a 3rd on his optimaracing.com BRP Sea-Doo.

The Freestyle crew put on one heck of show for the crowd with Daniel Martin of leading the way scoring a 28.8. Jason Stoyer clocked in second with a 24.4 on his XScream boat and Jeremy Parr posted a 28 even for third.

Eric Francis ran away and hid from the rest of the crowd in the Pro Runabout Stock class checking early for the win. Tim Lapierre rode extremely and surprised everyone with a second followed by Troy Snyder on his Snyder Built Sea-Doo.

Eric Casey Francis the Factory Kawasaki rider had a great ride on first Moto of Pro Runabout Stock and Pro Runabout Limited at the second round of UWP National Tour as he won the first one and got a second in the other class.

Kommander Industries owner Steve Webster reports from Moto 1 from Panama “Kody Copenhaver (Kommander Vector V-Drive hull) got third place, Rob Flores 2nd and Chris MacClugage won the Moto. Kody rode awesome since he was all over Flores. Water conditions were crazy rough (2-3 foot surf). David Redinger (Kommander Vector V-Drive hull) finished 5th although he had a big crash while he was in 2nd place. Rick Sherker finished in 4th.”

Young rider Toshi “Samurai” Ohara won the Pro Ski Open class in the Japanese Jet Ski championship which is a big achievement at his age. We have seen him competing in other classes too on Eastern Asia during winter. We from Jetskiworld.gr congratulate Toshi Ohara not only for clinching the title but also for his excellent communication via FB and e-mails. His sponsors must be proud of him.
