Wasserjet is a new company in the personal watercraft scene which has applied Wankel engine technology to a stand-up ski. The main advantage of such an application is the compact dimensions of the Wankel design as well as the lower overall weight of the boat. According to Wasserjet the company had been working extensively with the aid of Rick Roy. We know from the past that Rick Roy was looking for a “Clean” engine to use in his skis and possibly the Wankel motor is the answer to his need since his low weight and compact dimensions are ideal features for Freestyle/Freeride Skis application. Wasserjet will have a booth at the World Finals Peformance Alley and will have an engine for display complete with carbs and electrics ready to fire it up. However the company will not be able to have a complete boat for test ride.

French company Force will make its debut at the IJSBA World Finals in October by demonstrating its brand new Force KS-3. The later is a stand up ski specifically designed for kids of age 5-12 years old. A complete review on KS-3 has been published exclusively in the Tests section in www.jetskiworld.gr. It is the ideal stand up that any kid can use as an entry level ski in order to learn how to ride a jet ski. Its unique hull design along with the four-stroke single cylinder engine compile a lightweight, easy and safe to ride stand up ski. The philosophy behind this design is the formation of jet ski schools (around the world) ideal for younger enthusiasts as it is done for so many years with the kids MX motorcycles. According to designer and ski builder, Pascal Barriac this is the right way to bring people, young kids back to the sport. Big, heavy, powerful and expensive Runabouts had driven the youngsters away from the sport. The declination of jet skiing actually, begun in the early 2000 with the appearance of the four-stroke Runabouts. Force plans to demonstrate the new KS-3 during the Pro Weekend at the race course site as well as on Saturday afternoon at the London Bridge (Under the Bridge) Freestyle event. Make sure you that you will not miss it.
