RIVA Yamaha Cyrille Lemoine Grabs Upset Win at LB2CAT

There once was a time when the world of offshore racing almost strictly belonged to Kawasaki – and more specifically, the lauded Long Beach-to-Catalina Offshore Championship (LB2CAT), having been ruled by Team Green racer Craig Warner. The 56-mile round trip race used to welcome a field of 50-to-60 racers, but with the almost shut-out domination of Kawasaki over the previous decade, many simply opted not to go, dropping that number to less than half. And while the big, deep-V Ultra retains its offshore-prowess street credibility, this past weekend’s upset win turned the world of offshore racing on its head.

That’s right; not only did a non-Kawasaki take the win – namely Yamaha – but a GP1800, a craft otherwise purpose-built for closed course dominance, piloted by Karujet champion Cyrille Lemoine. Oh, and Lemoine wasn’t alone, 4-out-0f-the Top 5 were Yamahas, with a Kawasaki grabbing the 5th spot. The Frenchman turned Southern Californian is an accomplished RIVA Yamaha team rider, who bested the likes of billion-time IJSBA champion Mike Klippenstein of Canada, Australian Christian D’Agostin, SoCal local Mark Gerner, and Georgian-via-Californian Craig Warner.

The latter two suffered mechanical failures aboard their turbocharged Ultras that took them out of the running. Klipper blew in from the Great White North with little time to prepare – having suffered an engine failure the day before, requiring a 24 hour motor swap. Skies were clear (apart from the typical grey overcast Pacific marine layer) and ocean conditions were less than ideal – that is, depending upon who you ask – but that meant little to the honed athleticism of Lemoine who charged hard in his SVHO-powered GP1800 all the way to the finish line. So, what’s the take away? Just because you don’t own a Kawasaki doesn’t mean you don’t have a chance at winning. Run what you brung and enjoy it! Below are the unedited results:

Case of The Mondays: Surf The Air By Wireless Remote Control

Have you always wanted to become a virtuoso of surfing but woefully lacked the talent, athleticism, or fortitude to fight off the crowds of kooks, groms and hodads? Yeah, us too. That’s why the Lift eFoil is looking like something we might be able to get into. Produced by Lift, the personal hydrofoil manufacturers who pretty much made the sport cool, the eFoil is what they’re calling “the next generation of hydrofoils.”

The Lift eFoil is a state-of-the-art hydrofoil board powered by a silent electric motor and controlled via a fully programmable computer and a wireless hand controller. So what makes it so cool in our eyes? The fact that it requires no waves, surf or wind to propel the foil – just saddle up and hit the trigger, the electric motor does all the work (you just need to keep your balance well enough to stay aboard).

The eFoil uses a custom lithium battery built for a rugged marine environment that can last up to an hour when ridden at 15mph (of course depending on rider weight/speed) and is enclosed in a corrosion protected, IP67 waterproof housing. The battery also requires a scant 2.5 hours to fully recharge, so you won’t be down long – and you can easily swap out the battery for a charged one. There’s actually quite a bit of information on the board to review, and while it’s not available yet, they are accepting pre-orders.

Video: Missing Wave Junkies Swim 6 Hours Back to Shore

Brian Sawer, a founding member of the Virginia Beach Wave Junkies, and a buddy went for a jet ski ride in Suffolk, VA. The men were underway and headed to the Merrimac Bridge Tunnel by 6:30pm. Both skis became plagued with several issues, including mechanical failures. The guys made the decision to physically pull their skis to a landing provided by a restaurant.

After swimming and fighting the current in the channel for six hours, the two men reached the restaurant where they tied down their skis. They left the water and walked to a convenience store. They reached the store at 1:30 am.

A kind soul let them use his cell phone to call for assistance. Little did they know, family members alerted the Coast Guard in regards to the missing men just after midnight. The USCG sent a helicopter and a boat on a search and rescue mission and located the jet skis.

Family members received calls from the men at 2:30 a.m. Sawyer said he regretted causing his family to worry. When interviewed by WAVY.com, Sawyer said, “We never panicked and we joked around with each other. We never felt we were in any danger.”

Fortunately, the guys were wearing life jackets when their skis malfunctioned. Sawyer has ridden jet skis since he was 8 years old and never goes out unprepared and that means also taking a friend. He will carry an additional item onboard: a cell phone. The men were checked out by medics and released. Sawyer suffered a rash from the chafing of his shorts on both legs. That’s nothing a little Gold Bond can’t fix.

Gallery: P1 AquaX Round 4; Sarasota, Florida

The P1 AquaX Tour had their fourth round of their race series arrived into the beautiful city of Sarasota, Florida. This was the third year of the series coming into town to kick off the 4th of July festivities and as with the past two years, it was going to be an exciting weekend. This round would only have the Professional racers joining the boat series that would adorn Lido Beach. The entire weekend would sponsor a great cause the Suncoast Charities for Children.

The weekend started off with the AquaX riders kicking off the event with their first race, but first the riders briefing needed to be done. As many of the racers had raced Sarasota the previous years, it was mainly a time to go over some particulars. Sarasota is unique because the launch of the skis was a short distance from the actual race course and many racers were wondering if their skis would have enough gas to complete a moto. Due to this, it was determined by Race Director Lisa Barsby that instead of the normal 30 minute moto that it would be dropped down to a 25 minute moto, plus one lap. This would definitely allow all racers to complete the moto plus the parade laps and the traveling to the race course.

The riders launched their craft and headed out to the course and it was deemed that the course was ready to race. As the green flag dropped, the racers took off and it was, as in the past that Chris Macclugage took the hole shot. Chris started to gain a really nice lead and completed two laps but then his ski had mechanical issues causing him to stop racing. It turned out that his timing chain had snapped. The bad luck of Sarasota had come upon him for the second year in a row. This opened the door for the other racers to claim the top spot for the first moto.

Sea-Doo team rider Erminio Iantosca now took the lead on his Sea-Doo RXP and it was looking like a Sea-Doo was on the hunt for it’s first top spot for the year. Iantosca was chased by RIVA racer Brian Baldwin on his Yamaha GP1800 and then followed by Canadian rider Jay Edworthy, who was also on a Sea-Doo RXP. These three racers kept this up for the majority of the race. Suddenly, Baldwin was in the lead followed by Eric Lagopoulos and Cyrille Lemoine. These three finished the race in that order. The question that then emerged was what happened to the Sea-Doo riders? Did they break down or did they run out of gas?

Upon returning to the ramp, it was revealed that the race was timed an extra few minutes past the 25 minutes that was told to the riders in their briefing, which caused a lot of the Sea-Doo riders to run out of gas on the second to last and final laps. The race directors had to go back to their time keeping sheets to determine where each racer was at the 25-minute mark. After further review it was determined that Iantosca won the first moto followed by Baldwin and the Edworthy. This was absolutely the right call to make and the most fair.

With the first moto in the books, the racers prepped for the second moto later in the day. Unfortunately, this would not happen. While the racers were prepping and the powerboats were racing there was a marine hold for all racing due to wildlife on the course. That coupled with an incoming storm determined that racing would have to be put on hold until the next day and the second moto would be made up. The second day of racing was going to be a long one for all the racers – including the powerboats. At the briefing, it was discovered by the racers that they would only be competing in one moto instead of two due to the tight schedule and that the third moto scheduled would be made up in the next round in Islamorada, Florida.

The racers took to the course and it was Chris MacClugage who yet again, took the hole shot after getting his ski in order. Macc raced a flawless moto this time and it appeared that the gremlins that had plagued him in the past were definitely behind him. Eric Francis, who had gotten a DNF in the first moto, also looked like he had gotten past the mechanical issues of the first moto and was battling with Brian Baldwin. Marcus Jorgensen of Denmark who also had a DNF in the first moto started in the last race position for moto. Jorgensen traversed the field on the hunt for one of the top three positions. It came down to the white flag lap where Jorgensen passed Francis to take the second place finish. The final results would be MacClugage for the Moto 2 win followed by Jorgensen and Francis rounding out the top three.

The weekend was a success and the final results ended with RIVA racer Brian Baldwin coming out with the overall win, followed by Iantosca in second place garnering Sea-Doo’s first podium finish in the professional class for the year. The third spot on the podium was to be won by MacClugage. He tied French rider Cyrille Lemoine for the weekend, but due to Macc having a better finish in the last moto, the scoring deemed Macc the podium winner. The weekend was officially over after two races and the racers are now set to continue racing next month in Islamorada, Florida.

IJSBA (International Jet Sports Boating Association) has just announced the return of P1 AquaX to the shores of Lake Michigan in Chicago, Illinois for 2017. The event will take place the weekend of September 9-10, 2017 and will be a part of the IJSBA U.S. National Series.

Last year P1 AquaX made its debut appearance in the Windy City; but only as part of the Great Lakes Series and Pro Series. In addition to the Pro Series class for 2017, Chicago will also host P1 Aqua X’s North East Series as well as the IJSBA U.S. National Series according to the most recent postings from P1 AquaX.

This year’s National Championship events are expected to be some of the most exciting races considering the enormous energy put on a display by last year’s events.

If you plan to attend, be sure to check out some of the city’s rich history, breathtaking skyscraper views, and multi-cultural food offerings. Don’t forget to pick up a slice (or an entire pan) of the world famous deep dish pizza.

Specific race event information such as classes and other details are still being finalized so be sure to check the appropriate websites for further upcoming details.

Texas H2O Series Boosts Local Economy

Following a recent story covered by local KBTX news of Somerville, Texas, we got word of a PWC racing event that has provided a much-needed boost to the local economy and overall morale of local business owners.

The Texas H2O racing series held its round 3 and round 4 events the weekend of June 17-18 according to the local news outlet. This event which is actually one of the qualifiers for IJSBA World Finals, brought over 45 racing PWC’s to the scene as well as hundreds of spectators and fans.

Due to the massive influx of racing participants and spectators, the local marina, campground, and other businesses have been able to operate again after flooding activity in the surrounding area put a damper on the usage of the lake for the past couple years. This is obviously good news for everyone considering that racers have gained back a spectacular location for eventing, local businesses are supported, and the PWC scene gets positive attention.

As we have seen in recent years, the growth of PWC sales, and more recently with the introduction of budget-friendly models such as Sea Doo’s Spark and Yamaha’s EX series, we would bet our wives’ and daughters’ horses that the Somerville Lake, TX area has seen its fair share of demand for new units with the recent flood recessions. Hopefully 2017 continues on this positive, economy-boosting trend.

The Watercraft Journal By The Numbers: June 2017

Waitaminute. It’s July? Already?! Yeah, that’s how we’re feeling right about now. We’re officially on the backside of the year, both domestic racing series are more than halfway complete (Pro Watercross National Tour and P1 AquaX – both of which, The Watercraft Journal continues as the only source of complete written recaps and full image galleries), summer vacation has about a month and a half left for most of the kids, and riding season for most of you working stiffs has just started to really pick up. Of course, we’re of the whole “glass half full” mentality around here, and we’ve got a lot to show for it:

Starting just a few months back, The Watercraft Journal radically increased its monthly video production, providing you not one, but two monthly videos – completely free to you. And after more demand than we can recall, we finally launched our first official T-shirts and decals in our all-new store. Oh, and we partnered with PWCTrader to bring you the world’s largest, most accessible search engine of used and pre-owned personal watercraft anywhere. Seriously, we’ve stepped up our game and are bringing you more ways to enjoy the most out of your experience on the water. What other magazine can say the same?

For today’s episode of The Watercraft Journal By The Numbers, we wanted to do something slightly different. Because we’re in our fourth year of publishing, we wanted to illustrate that we are continually growing in readership unlike any other publication in our industry, year-after-year, month-after-month. Equally, as our audience continues to expand, so does our appeal to so many manufacturers in our industry. We average two new advertisers a month, companies who recognize the need to get their products and services in front of the broadest, most active audience in the world, and not just in social media activity – but actual adults who do their due diligence prior to buying. And that is what we offer.

January – June 2017

January – June 2016

What Does Half a Million Visits in a Year Mean?
Back in our paper publishing days at Personal Watercraft Illustrated, there was a mysterous metric that the publisher liked to throw around. The idea was that for every issue sold, two-to-three different people would see that copy – be it sitting on a coffee table or on the back of a toilet tank – and take a look. While it sounds preposterous to equate, the sales staff tried to convince potential advertisers to bank on this number. Unlike the inequatable projection used before, we know for certain how many people are coming to The Watercraft Journal in 2017: half a million. And as you can see, we’re up nearly 30-percent in visits since last year. That ain’t too shabby either.

January – June 2016
Total number readers: 210,413*
Total number of articles read: 343,359
Percentage of new readers: 64.5%

January – June 2017
Total number readers: 250,047*
Total number of articles read: 343,201
Percentage of new readers: 63.9%

*This number is considered equal to an individual sale of a single copy of a magazine.

Judge Them By Their Fruits
When it comes to other PWC outlets, it’s easy to get distracted by social media posts, Instagram shares and a whole lot of retweets, but when you look at what is served on the plate, you’ll see there’s not a lot of meat on the bone, as it were. While some are little more than glorified online stores, The Watercraft Journal is the only personal watercraft magazine truly laboring to provide useful product reviews, in-depth interviews, cutting-edge technology, and useful information to help you, the consumer, make the best, most educated decision with your hard-earned dollar. That’s why we don’t charge you. We’d rather have you spend that money with the companies who we accept as advertising sponsors.

News articles published in May 2017: 24
Feature articles published in May 2017: 13
Total feature word count: 12,889 words

News articles published in June 2017: 25
Feature articles published in June 2017: 12
Total feature word count: 9,106 words*

*When this number is translated to print publication standards equals a 102-page magazine. Please note that this number does not include an average of two uniquely-written news articles published daily.

More Content Than Ever Before
The Watercraft Journal is striving to offer the personal watercraft enthusiast a diverse variety of content – sure, we offer the same industry leading event coverage, product evaluations, hands-on watercraft reviews, and more – but now we’re dishing out double doses of uniquely-created YouTube videos, as well as providing you with access to PWCTrader’s search engine of used and pre-owned personal watercraft as well as our own T-shirts and decals in our all-new store. If that’s not enough, we’re constantly flooding your Facebook,  YouTube, Twitter, Instagram feeds, and your inbox with our weekly newsletters. If you’re not already following us, subscribed to our channels, or otherwise, you’re purposely ignoring us.

Time To Greet What You’ve Been Missing
So why do we even write these articles month after month? It’s purpose is truly two-fold: first, to introduce those companies to the radical rate of growth and current levels of success that The Watercraft Journal is experiencing; and second, to reaffirm to our current advertisers that we are not going anyway anytime soon. Websites pop up and vanish often, paper magazines find their funds lacking and overhead simply too burdensome and fold. For the past four years, we have done nothing but grow; both in readership and in advertiser support. The companies who partner with The Watercraft Journal and actively engage in an aggressive media campaign, find almost instantaneous results. Those who join but do little to nothing might see some marginal success, but nothing like the former. To help you reach a broader audience of would-be customers and spread the word about your brand, product and services, The Watercraft Journal must be a resource, a tool in building your brand. If you’re ready for that, email [email protected] about advertising your company in the single-most popular PWC magazine today.
