A day after the completion of the event and the final results have not been published even on UIM’s web page. There is a lot of talking involved about the results and timing of the second day in this four day race. However, since we have not been present to event we are not able to criticize anything. The fact is that Davy Vaitilingon won the race in Pro Runabout class on a Kawasaki Ultra 300X prepared by Farthing Racing. On the other hand American rider Craig Warner was very unlucky since his Farthing Racing race boat broke down many times as he experienced many issues (like overheating problems, etc.) although he leaded the race many times. Things were not very positive for Team Pastorello for another year in Guadeloupe. The final results will be published as soon as they will be released officially.

Karen Jacobs, not only was she the mother of the great Jeff Jacobs, but she was always a fierce competitor in the Pro Womens Ski during the late 1980's and early 90's. Jet Ski enthusiasts and old time spectators still remember her or even had watched her on the video tape in the early nineties. Well done Karen.

According to a reputable source we found out that American rider Craig Warner was unlucky in the first day of Karujet race in Guadeloupe. His Farthing Racing prepared Kawasaki broke down and as a result he end up in the last pack of riders who made it to the end. On second day the challenging conditions game him the opportunity to win the first moto in the morning. However, in the afternoon his boat faced more issues but still he managed to finish 4th. We hope that he will not end up of luck until the end of the race schedule.

We have not received a Day Report yet, however we managed to get the official results of Day 1. Simply click on the attachment sign to view the pdf file of results.

This crazy guy was the first ever rider who performed a barrel role on flat water back in the early nineties. Well, the fact that he was doing the "no mercy"" ramp jump by sitting backwards was simply insane. Well done Jeff."

This is the first in the History of Jet Ski Champion of Asia. We have never witnessed this kind of event before in the 30-year history of world jet ski competition. And this time is also the first official programme through ESPN Starsport. Jet Ski PRO ASIAN GRAND PRIX 2012.10-12 August, Pitsanulok, Thailand. More information is coming soon from Watercross World-Asian Multi Sports.

Marmon’s performance at February’s eighth annual Mark Hahn Memorial Havasu 300 – named and held in honour of the late jet-ski endurance competitor – was nothing short of sensational and sets him up superbly ahead of the 2012 AquaX season. Not only did he win the 4-stroke stock class of the 300 mile extreme test of skill, determination and fortitude at Lake Havasu in Arizona, he did so as a solo rider in an international field mainly comprising teams of two. Truly deserving of the ‘Iron Man’ title, the British star also finished a magnificent second overall on his pure stock Kawasaki machine – a remarkable achievement. “America was such a great result, I was absolutely amazed when I came in to see the result”, added Marmon, “I’d never done the Iron Man before so to finish second overall against two rider teams on modified skis was incredible. You really have to keep your concentration, at about 180 miles – after about three hours of constant riding – you really start hitting the wall. It’s a major test. “It’s definitely one of the best things I’ve done in recent years and I think I deserved the result. Each lap is 10 miles and you have to come in every four or five for refuelling. Normally, you change pilots at this point and they do 50 minute stints each – as I was doing the race on my own though, I hardly had chance for any sustenance at the stops as my guys were so fast with the refuelling!”
