Chris Hagest was for years the solo force behind the Junior Racing Star Program. He tried to support in his best way all youngsters that have come to the personal watercarft scene, especially prior entering the World Finals. Though, his business carreer needs more support at this crucial moment and he decided that it it is time for someone else to take over this very serious program. Simply read his last note on this issue: “Hello all, I'm sad to announce that I will not be continuing with the JR Star program for 2011. I have been completely overwhelmed with my current business to the point that I cannot break away to give the needed focus to the JR Star program. I welcome anyone that is interested in taking over this program, but please understand this position takes time and connections within the industry. I personally have been taking a break from the PWC scene, not because I'm burned out, but because I feel I need to focus more on my current business. I'm sorry if this email comes as a shock, but I hope you can understand my situation and respect my decision. This sport needs a program like this, but it also needs a leader that can devote the time and energy. This person is not me at this given time. Thank you all for your support, please email me if you have any interest in taking over the JR Star program.” We hope that someone out there from the pwc scene will take over soon and give those young racers what they need to keep up the hard work and become World Champions.

The Chinese Invasion was a story that was published a few years ago at www.jetskiworld.gr as well as in the American magazine PWI (before it went down the drain...) with the scope to inform that entire personal watercraft enthusiast that when you are on water you do not take a risk to ride a Chinese watercraft. Having a great experience from Chinese scooters and motorcycles we know that they bound to leave you in the middle of nowhere when you do not expect it. But if a watercraft leaves you with a dead engine or God knows with how many other issues in the middle of the sea then, there is a big chance of loosing your life. This is dead serious. Recently we got informed by Ηisonjetski which belongs to TDR international group co.,ltd. about their new products. We were surprised when we found out that in the company’s web site there actual pictures of Kawasaki models while the Chinese products is totally different in terms of engine, hull, performance etc. In other words you see one thing and you buy a totally different one... Well, these products are shipped around the world so you better watch out of what you are buying.

Actually, we asked this question directly to R&D and here is what we got. This particular Superclutch system was extensivly tested on R&D’s FZR that was equipped with the new 90+mph kit. The engine was operating at 9.100-9.300rpm with 20 pounds of boost providing a top speed of 89-90mph constistently. If this clutch systam did not experience any sort of issues under this testing conditions then it should work fine on your tuned up Yamaha.

Recently Japanese company SE introduced the accessories that are illustrated on the particilar photo. In other words, the billet aluminum steering system and its plastic cover.

Following an invitation to tender conducted in 2010, the Special Forces Directorate has procured 12 Jet Skis at the end of February 2011. The particular personal watercraft is able to move with safety in sea conditions (SS) 4 and it can cooperate with subordinate Army and Navy means. The means were delivered along with spare –part stocks which are expected to be “augmented” by the procurement of special protective antiballistic covers (coats) and a specialized operator personal equipment (Operator – passenger), such as special type antiballistic harnesses- life-vests , helmets etc. During 1-2 March the provided for in the contract checks-trials of the 12 Jet skis were realised along with the personnel training. Such a means of transport allows the planning and the execution of amphibious Special Operations, the dispersal of a segment aiming at an invisible penetration and its precise assembly because of its GPS. Jetskiworld visited the Special Forces campus and watched the new watercraft that was demonstrated by a rider and a passenger.
