The new catalogue of Hot Products USA was available for FREE at the World Finals. The catalogue featured new sections, many new parts and accessories and colorful photos. Authorized Greek distributor Akis Malouchos of Champions Jet Ski (tel.:+30-210 9405623) had the chance to pick up one of those new catalogues. Champions Jet Ski distributes parts not only in Greece but in Southern Europe too as well as in Western Asia and UAE.

The Rickter Edge stands out for its massive improvements primarily in its handling characteristics. Rick Roy has done extensive work on the previous FS2 hull by cutting of the bond rail and enlarging the nose of the ski as well as deepen the chines. Many more modifications followed and the hull got shorter. Finally a new shape and position was given to the bond rail and a new hull was born. So how good is this hull for Freestyle and Freeride? We will reveal soon as we tested in Havasu right after the World Finals.

Japanese riders keep changing their hull set up the last two years. This is on one Hajime Isahai’s race boats as seen in Havasu. The hull looks very similar if not identical to the one Farthing was using on his Yamaha. According to our source Farthing was using a Watson Racing hull and not the Bullett Racing one he had a year ago.

The new WammerJet was revealed at the World Finals however, there was no available unit in Lake Havasu City for a test ride. In this photo it easy to recognize some people from the pwc that are taking a closer look to this pwc. John Zingler from WatCon, Randy Jungwirth from Weberpower.com and Tim Gewecke from Bullett Racing are interested to find out what Wammilton has created this time. According to Jungwith there will be a secret test ride for a few selected people and he is one of them… So we might be able to reveal a few more things about Wammilton’s new project.

Owner of SE Speedmagic Yuji Sato and his son are posing for a photo in front of the Factory Kawasaki Jest Ski Team semi.

Having tested in the past R&D’s turbo kit for the FZR we knew what was Klipper riding this season, however it was great to find out how does this kit perform on a whole new different hull. The result was awesome. Read the complete review which is published in the Race Tests section.

Actually, Rick Roy took Kevin Cullen’s son for a rid on the new Edge hull. Rick was so smooth and presice on his moves that the little kid was stoked. Another example that proves how advanced is the design of the new Edge hull.
