Past weekend the best nordic racers started in Henan, Sweden at the Nordic Championship. Favorite and Title defender Kevin Reiterer from Austria was in the mix. With a dominating performance of three moto wins Reiterer made it a two peat by defending his title and giving second title to his brand new race boat the SDC TRAK. “It’s awesome to share your passion with other dedicated people. It was an insane race with great moments and I have to say I am very proud of Daniel Andersen who was right on my tail for the entire moto.” says the 24 year old Pro athlete.

Now it is time for a short summer break before the third World Championship stop in the middle of September calls out the best racers to Shanghai, China.

“Unfortunately I am not racing the World Finals this year. I will be racing the World Championship in China on Tuesday of the world finals week, which means I could at the earliest be in Havasu Wednesday night/Thursday morning with a 30+ hour travel behind me and a 14 hour jet lag and only one day to test the ski before my races would start... This seems like a waste of money to me. I really hope it will work out better next year, I hate missing world finals this year after racing a stock engine last year...”

We asked Stian Andre Schjetlein how was racing in Northern Europe and here is what he said “Pretty good i guess. I gad electrical trouble on my race ski, so i used my backup ski instead. Ended up 2nd in ski GP1. Also rode ski GP3 as there were 25 people on the line. Figured it would be a really fun class. Ended up 2nd here too. I had a training camp with the juniors of Team Norway Aquabike the week before the race. We had all kinds of conditions, from really nice and calm water to stormy winds which knocked down trees right behind the starting line as we were training. All in all a great week both for me and the kids I train.”

This weekend (13-14.08.2016) Kevin Reiterer, defending Nordic Champion, will attend for the third time the Nordic Championship held in Sweden, Henan. After his second Championship, last year in Norway, Bergen, the expectations are set high. With his new SDC Trak and fresh of a week of testing in Thailand Reiterer’s objective is clear. The Austrian will also compete in the smaller class this weekend with a borrowed ski with the goal to push the motivation of the younger riders.
