Kawasaki has been testing lately a two-cylinder and a three-cylinder four-stroke stand-up ski in Southern Europe. Yamaha has confirmed that it has its own version two many times. Recently we have been informed from a very reputable source that Sea-Doo has been working extensively on a stand-up project too. Yamaha’s SuperJet figures were up to 400units this year. So this proves that there is not a sufficient market out there for a such a product. However, many respectable businessmen have mentioned that if one manufacturer will do it then the rest will follow.

A well known Pro Runabout rider from Europe plans to test the last version of the R&D T1 Turbo kit for the Kawasaki Ultra 310. The particular rider wants to evaluate R&D’s turbo kit prior preparing his race boat for the Mark Hahn 2016. According to the latest updates that we have from R&D, the American company has achieved great results in terms of performance and fuel consumption with the latest version of this kit. Stay tuned.

Weberpower recommends you have a professional repair shop rebuild your Weber MPE750 / MPE/850 turbocharger, but we realize that it isn’t always possible and you might perform this service yourself. This rebuild kit is OEM quality and includes the components necessary to complete a “basic” rebuild. This is not recommended unless you are a professional repair shop, and we offer no warranty. It is a "musto to do"" job before heading to the World Finals. Available from Weberpower.com for $49.95"

Kommander Industries will launch plenty of new products at the World Finals. One of the them is its new hydraulic trim system that has been developed for the Kawasaki, Yamaha and aftermarket stand-up hulls. The particular trim system consists of the rear pot, the hose and the trim lever. Kommander K1 hulls are already equipped with this trim system.

Body Beach is the place to be and train before the World Finals and has become the meeting point for the riders from all over the world. This spot was picked up by Rusty Gewecke and Aaron from Bullett Racing to create a fight and to threaten Dustin Motzouris’s wife and 5 year old daughter. Many international riders informed Jetskiworld.gr about what had happened and this is not a clean view of this sport. We have seen many riders on videos talking about clean this sport is. Well just a few weeks before the World Finals this is not the clean icon of the sport. Aaron and Rusty threw Dustin Motzouris in to the water and were trying to drown his as a threat. Then they were shouting from their track saying names and things. The market is already way too small in the pwc scene from what it used to be. We do not want to waste it completely.

Multi National and World Champion Jeff “The Jammer” Jacobs appeared in Havasu testing along with Chris Fischetti the five 5 zero sponsons which were specifically designed for the JS550. Jammer was so excited that he said that he will put a set of those in one of his Superstock 550. Watching Jacobs practising on his SuperJet at Body Beach made many people wondering whether he will return back in to racing.
