>IJSBA Supports San Diego Bay Clean Up

IJSBA has received this press release from the San Diego Personal Watercraft Club. We congratulate these guys for their good stewardship of the water. All participants were given complimentary copies of the IJSBA World Finals DVD. April 24th San Diego, Ca. For the first time ever, iloveacleansandiego.org sponsored an on-the-water-cleanup with the San Diego Personal Watercraft Club of San Diego Bay this past Saturday April 24th. 14 jetskis and one boat covered the entire San Diego Bay, approximately 20 miles in length, and collected 330 lbs of floating trash that will NOT be sucked into our impellers. We found surf board fins, tennis shoes, 2x4’s, plastic bags, plastic water bottles, glass bottles, cigarette butts, rope, and many other things that went down the storm drains and into our Bay after the recent rains. Thanks to all SDPWC members and here’s to finding 500 lbs next year. Ray Hinton – President, San Diego Personal Watercraft Club http://sdpwc.net

>Slippery dominate at Mark Hahn 300

For the sixth year in a row, the best personal watercraft racers (PWC) gathered in Lake Havasu City, Ariz., to compete in honor of fallen racer Mark Hahn. For those unfamiliar with the event, it is a 300-mile endurance race where participants can compete solo or as a two-person team. Riders complete the 300-mile race by finishing 30 laps on a ten-mile course throughout Lake Havasu. This year’s top team featured two of the biggest names in the PWC world.
