There are many hull builders out there in the pwc scene especially in the freestyle market, however none of them is based in Greece. CRP Ltd is a small aftermarket company which initially specialized on making body parts for Runabouts even hulls. Then progressively modified an SX hull in order to enhance its freestyle/freeride characteristics. Since last autumn the company focused on designing and fabricating a short hull for freestyle use. A hull that would enable anyone who owned a Kawasaki SX, SXi, SXi Pro to bolt all parts on to it and have fun. It is a low budget hull with many innovative ideas and unique craftsmanship. Jetskiworld.gr was invited to test ride and estimate the prototype unit in order to proceed with further improvement. Step 1 was completed and soon we will be testing the next level. Up to now it’s worth mentioning that this particular ski has some strong basis.

The drive line couplers featured on the right side are designed and made by Team Pastorello for Kawasaki Ultra. They feature a stenthned inner section similar to the ones used by Factory Team Kawasaki for many years. The point is that those coupler differ in diammeter and they play key role to the pump hook up. According to Jean-Bruno Pastorello the hook up is incredible and the pump sucks water continously. In action this gives you feeling that as soon as pin the trottle the hull get better grip as if the pump is sucking the water so well that makes it stick to the surface. Jetskoworld.gr has tested Jean-Bruno Pastorello’s race crafts for five years in the row and now it test those couplers on another race Kawasaki.

When the new SuperJet was introduced back in 2008 with its new hull which was derived by the extensive testing with Rius Racing, its price was $6.800 usd in the USA, as it was published in the exclusive test we carried out in Lake Havasu City during the World Finals. The latest edition with the two different color options costs $8.499 usd. What has actually changed over the years and the cost of this stand up is so high? The engine has remained the same since 1995. Not to mentioned that it can not be registered and insured in Europe.

Italian helmet manufacturer Nolan plans to release a brand new MX helmet in the X-lite series. After the successfull X-501, which was featured and tested by Jetskiworld.gr a brand new X-502 will presented this Autumn. The outer shell will be exactly the same as the Nolan N53 but it be made by lightweight composite materials. Also, it will feature a new interior linner and modern graphics. We have not been informed yet about whether there will be a pure carbon version too.
