Return of The King, Ross Champion To Re-Enter Freeride Competition

It is with great enthusiasm that The Watercraft Journal announces that multiple International Freerider Watercraft Association (IFWA) World Champion, Ross Champion is making his triumphant return to the sport that he dominated for so long. Right now, Champion’s remaining wee bit mum on the finer details to his riding schedule but expect big things from him for 2014. Until then, read it from the man himself, Ross who wrote:

So…it is about that time again.  I’ve spent the last several years working on building a business outside of the personal watercraft world, Soft-Deck.com. This business went through some iterations before finally finding it’s directions as a supplier for the military and law enforcement community. Through the building and development of Soft Deck, I felt that it was important to keep a pretty narrow focus on only that. Which meant basically putting my riding on hold until I felt I could again dedicate time to the sport I love. Thanks to having some great manufacturing partners in Hydro-Turf and RMS Laser that have helped me build this business, I now have the time to dedicate to riding again. My last contest was Blowsion Surf Slam in 2011, and I fortunate enough to walk away as a winner from that event. Even though I was unable to attend the final stop of the IFWA World Tour in Brazil, I still finished the year in second place. I’ve ridden a little here and there, but nothing all that serious…till now. 

This weekend will kick off the start of my training and riding again in earnest to prepare for what will be the launch of new project I’m associated with. I can’t say much about the new project just yet, but I am tremendously happy that my role in this venture is a promotional one. The best way I know how to promote is through my riding, and I’m looking forward to having a very full 2014 back with my freeride family. We will be announcing the business this coming January at The Daytona Freeride where we will also be unveiling my brand new Blowsion build FP1 from FPJetSkis.com.

I’m really looking forward to a great 2014 and beyond, and I’m tremendously grateful for those companies that are helping me get back in the water.  Cold Fusion, Blowsion, FP Jetskis, Dasa Racing, Hydro-Turf, Burn Industries, and Fullgaz.
