Blame us for being a Doubting Thomas in recent posts, but it looks like Belassi is really making a big push to make a splash in the performance PWC world. The latest news to come from the Linz, Austria-based watercraft manufacturer is that IJSBA World Champion, Hungarian György Kasza has just joined the upstart company to take this year’s Pro Runabout class by storm.
You’ll remember Kasza’s one-two-punch of blowing away the competition at last year’s IJSBA World Finals in Lake Havasu followed by his domination at the first-ever China Motorboat Open, both aboard an insane, all-carbon fiber turbocharged Sea-Doo RXP-X. Now, Kasza will be piloting Belassi’s new 333-horsepower B3R runabout. The machine still remains mostly untested, at least by the general public or media, so we’re still unclear how the stock machine operates.
Nevertheless, Belassi was more than excited to make the announcement, which stated:
We are happy to announce our collaboration with Gyorgy Kasza!
Directly from Hungary, György is a Pro Runabout PWC racer that conquered a lot of podiums in his career all over the world. Belassi will receive an important support in testings and developments from this great Champion, in order to bring to the market the products in highest quality and unmatched performance.
In 2016 he competed in the UAE championship in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, gaining the podium in Runabout GP category. György has been awarded by Hungarian PWC Federation and Olympic Commitee for his activities in this amazing sport. Attached you can find the list of his races (2011-2015) and results.
We are proud to have György in our team! His great experience and passion for Personal Watercrafts will bring only the best to Belassi.
