Two times IJSBA Pro-AM Women Ski Limited World Champion, Emi Kanamori had an excellent day of racing at Parker, Az. She competed at Pro-AM Ski GP on Saterday and she managed to finished second behind winner David Redinger and ahead of Ian Roberts and Craig Warner who finished fourth. We have mentioned in the past that Emi’s rhythm on the water was exceptionally fast last October at the World Finals and this proves ones again that this woman means business when she is on board her Limited Kawasaki. There is no doubt that she is in a class of her own. Click on the attachment sign to read the Saterday’s results of Parker Race.

Great success for Kommander Ind., the company of Steve Webster that his supported riders won or had top three riders in almost all the Stand Up classes. The most important win came up in the Pro GP Ski that the team won on both Saturday with David Redinger #10 and on Sunday with Craig Warner #7. Warner was racing a triple 1200cc Kawasaki SX-R which was equipped with a Bullett Racing second generation SX-R hull. In general the first round of APBA’s Triple Crown at Parker, Az. was well organized thought rider’s entries were kept in a low level.
