It’s baaack! The newest racing series to hit the United States – the AquaX USA – has announced the dates for its first stop, Daytona Beach, FL and some big news for people wanting to truly test their mettle. Scheduled to launch April 26th through April 27, not only will the AquaX’s first stop return to the same spot where it started last year, but also this past month’s Daytona Freeride, which coincidentally, will try to take a page from.
New to the AquaX USA series will be the new Standup ski class. As of right now, the level of permissible modification to the standups is yet to be known. This is a major factor, as almost every standup we know of has been modified well past AquaX’s minimalist-mod rules for the runabouts.
The AquaX’s strict ruling against modified skis is its key point of interest, aimed at luring in more first-time and “sportsman” level entries. If the rules are too strict regarding standups, we wonder if there will be enough contestants to fill the 20-entry limit. This is the first time standups have been allowed in an American AquaX event, so let’s try to fill that starting line.
