Today’s hyper-competitive world of freestyle jet skiing requires the very best in equipment. Long gone are the freestyle tricks that made Scott “Hollywood” Watkins legendary – 360s and headstands in the tray, fountains and nosestabs. If you’re not attempting a scarecrow or no-handed backflips, you’re not on the scoreboard.
So when you fork over your hard-earned money for what you believe to be one of the finest machines available on the market today, you expect to be getting the best. Unfortunately, that’s not what happened to Marcus Marchant. Marcus sold his modified SuperJet to allow him to purchase what he thought to be a “resprayed 2012 Rickter XFS.”
Unfortunately, the counterfeit unveiled itself upon immediate reception. As one familiar with the build quality of Rick Roy Products, Marcus was dismayed to see the sloppy construction of a fake. Sold by a “Maurice” at Jetimport CUBILLAS, Rick Roy Products has been made aware of the knockoff and will be handling preserving the veracity of their fine products on their own (most likely legal) level.
In a Facebook post that has since gone viral, Marcus Marchant wrote:
To all my Facebook Jetski buddies, just to make you aware that there are fake, yes counterfeit RRP Rickter hulls out there! I have been conned into buying what I thought was a resprayed 2012 Rickter XFS that turned out to be a brand new counterfeit!
I have had my heart set on getting one of these for the last year and have put my family through hell to get it. I have sold my beloved SuperJet, all my spares and various other bits just to fund it and am totally devastated. Because of this crook I am unable to compete in the European freestyle championships this year and I’m going to be off the water for the foreseeable future.
RRP are aware of this guy and have been trying to help me get my money back but to no avail so I have been left with no choice but to name and shame him.
So if you want a counterfeit Rickter XFS give Maurice a ring at Jetimport CUBILLAS on +34619885968 or email him at [email protected] or if you would like some fake RRP footholds etc go to his website at www.jetskicubillas.com
