Little more than a month ago, The Watercraft Journal announced the continued partnership of Farthing Racing and Yamaha after Dustin Farthing revealed that Farthing Racing will be returning as the official Yamaha Waverunners Factory Race Team for the 2025 season, competing in P1 AquaX, IJSBA and Aquabike events.
Clearly, neither Farthing nor Yamaha were content with simply continuing a good thing, and decided to build on that winning foundation.
Late yesterday, Jan. 15, Farthing announced that, in addition to the Yamaha Waverunner Factory Race Team P1 race team, 2025 will see the launch of a sponsorship program specifically for the 2025 Yamaha Superjet Classes at this year’s IJSBA World Finals in Lake Havasu.
Per the announcement:
Two lucky racers will compete in the Pro-Am 4 Stroke Superjet Class on fully built 2025 Yamaha SuperJets, courtesy of Yamaha & Farthing Racing.
Sponsorship includes transport, fuel, mechanic and skis for the 2025 IJSBA World Finals – sponsored rider only needs to cover the IJSBA entry fee and show up ready to win.
The entire journey will be documented for Yamaha marketing, YouTube and social media, so prospective participants should be sure they are comfortable on camera and can be creative.
Requirements to be considered for the Sponsorship Program include:
- Must have a minimum of 2 years racing experience and be a minimum age of 16;
- Must be a good racer, but also bring excitement to the brand;
- Must be active on social media.
To apply, send a polished resume for consideration of one of the two racer positions open – be creative and stand out with your submissions. Limited time and limited availability opportunity, email your application today to [email protected].
The Yamaha SuperJet has been the focus of several WCJ features, including our 2022 spotlight on Reese Giese, our announcement of the 2021 SuperJet earning the top spot in Boating Industry Magazine’s 2021 Top Products, several articles and videos by WCJ contributor Ashley Haude, and editor-in-chief Kevin Shaw’s video and review of the 2021 SuperJet WaveRunner.
