This is a wonderful place for vacation, a place that you can relax completely from the big city and enjoy the beauty of the crystal clear water and the tasteful sea food. It is located at the western part of Peloponysos and it takes less than an hours drive to reach it from Patras port. The sandy beach is ideal for those who have kids since the shallow water enables to play safely. The two cafe-bars that are on the eastern part of the beach are the ideal place to drink a nice cold beer or cold coffee in the afternoon while watching the sun going down behind the hills of Xakynthos Island. The evening’s sea breeze will ensure that you will remain comfortable even at the hottest days of the summer. There are many options for accommodation and we had a good experience at Almira (www.almira-hotel.gr). If you pln to visit Peloponysos do not miss Arkoudi.

Steve Webster, owner of Kommander Ind. is most probably the most passionate person when is comes to Skis. Recently he prepared a special project on which he used an S4 hull with a triple Kawasaki engine. It is a fantastic job and you really get amazed of how he managed to do such a clean and neat job. Take a look at his photos on Facebook and look at work that was done on the engine mounts, the electric and battery box and so on. In the past some riders that had put a high tuned XP engine inside the S4 hull had mentioned that the faster is goes the worse it handles. On this issue Steve commented “This one works well. It is a Super fun ski. It feels very light and fast. Handling was very solid. Different than the SXR but still very solid.”

He is pictured with his joy and pride, the JS400. gARY is the "heart and soul"" of the Vintage Museum in Havasu which was set up last year at the World Finals and tends to get bigger this year."

PJS, i.e. Performance Jet Ski was one of the greatest companies on designing and manufacturing Race accessories and building race crafts.

Victor “The Slasher” Sheldon is one of the pioneers of the sport and he plans to attend this year the World Finals scoping to race in Vintage Ski class. Sheldon will prepare his Kawasaki 550.
