May 23, 2016

The skies were gloomy and overcast as the P1 Aqua X rolled into St. Cloud, Florida. This was the fourth year of AquaX using east Lake Tohopekaliga and the city of St. Cloud as a venue. Each year there has been some sort of rain in the forecast and P1 wanted to get as much racing in before the skies opened up. After the mandatory rider’s briefing, the racers did their last minute adjustments they needed to get done and started launching their skis into the water while the P1 Superstock boats were finishing up their morning races.

This round of racing was strictly the Amateur racers and the professional racers were not slated to race this day. With a total of 33 riders, the racers took to the race course for the start of the first race of the day. The question for this round would be if Chris Saxon, Tommy Olswang, and Chad Saxon would pick up where they left off in the previous round in Daytona.

With this being a lake race the riders wouldn’t have to deal with the huge waves or chop of ocean riding. This made it a mad rush of full wide open throttle to see who would take the hole shot and if no mistakes were made, maintain their position to take the lead and hopefully the win. Cody Tetreault came away with the win in the 300 class. Alejandro Mora took the win in the 250 class and Chad Saxon claimed the win for the first race of the day.

The skies were cloudy for most of the first race but the sun was trying to make an appearance throughout. After the racers had lunch and prepared themselves for the second and final race of the day the sun decided to bless the race course with full sunshine and proved the weather forecasters wrong. With no rain in sight the racers took to the water again.

Cody Tetreault claimed the hole shot and maintained the lead for the majority of the second race, however, he couldn’t keep back Richard Lopez who took the overall win for the weekend in the 300 class. Chris Saxon who had dominated the previous two rounds in the class just couldn’t catch up to the winner as he had taken a swim at the first turn buoy and lost valuable positions in the field.

In the 250 class, Tommy Olswang, who placed fourth in the first race of the day, took the overall win for the weekend and continued his winning ways so far this season. The 200 Class was won by Daniel Steele to round out the top winners for the day.

In a predominately male field, there was one woman who made an appearance on the podiums for the first time this year; Jennifer Nolan finished third overall in the 200 Class and showed that she can keep up with the guys. All had fun and it was a great day of racing. Next stop on the race schedule is Sarasota, Florida at the beginning of July, which will have a stacked lineup, as the professional racers will be back on the water as well as the amateurs.

Case of The Mondays: Roger Danner’s Incredible Cross-Country JS550 World Record

By

Would you believe that the first real-deal world distance record attempt was first made back in 1982, and on a Kawasaki JS550? That distinction went to Roger Danner, who as outlined below, set out to ride from Brooklyn, New York, all the way down to Ft. Lauderdale, FL in seven-and-a-half days. For his efforts, Danner was inducted into the IJSBA Hall of Fame in 2009’s World Finals. But the real story was recorded and retold on the K38 Rescue forum HERE:

Sponsored by Kawasaki, as well as IJSBA, and with an all volunteer crew of 12 members supporting his world record attempt, Danner set out from Sheep’s Head Bay in South Brooklyn, NY on July 26th, 1982 with a jet ski and a BIG dream. He launched his adventure accompanied by his water crew on a 30-ft. formula racing boat outfitted with gear and staffed with Captain Joe, Keith Moore the mechanic, Bob Thomas as the radio operator, boat driver Tom Hargrove and Dr. Phillip VanVranken and Brutus, who was their watch dog, a half Great Dane and half German Shepherd mix. Danner also had a land crew which followed along and Brutus was a member of the land crew by day and was the watch dog on the boat by night.

The amazing trip took two years of meticulous planning but no amount of planning could have prepared Danner and his crew for the unbelievable adventures they encountered while trying to get him safely across miles of open ocean and the intercoastal waterway, from New York to Florida. As Danner passed the Statue of Liberty he faced 16-foot waves resulting from the wakes of passing freighters and ocean liners while he crossed New York Harbor. He quickly realized just how dangerous his feat really was. From fishing lines strangling him around his neck, to duck weed clogging up his engine time and again and stalling him out, Danner faced all kinds of obstacles as he made his way, little by little, down the 1300-mile stretch of water.

As he approached Atlantic City, NJ Danner lost communication with his land crew when his jet ski choked on duck weed and burned out the engine. Danner and his water crew had to resort to renting a helicopter to find the land crew and regain contact. They stayed in Atlantic City, NJ overnight and an overzealous crewmember decided to try his luck at the casinos in an effort to double their gas money, losing a good portion of Danner’s funds for the venture and causing him to have to use his credit cards until more cash was wired to them.

The next morning, as they departed Atlantic City at daybreak, the accompanying crew boat ran onto an unforeseen sand bar south of Atlantic City, NJ. Not seeing his chase boat behind him, Danner turned back to find them, also running up on the sand bar and injuring his leg on a rope. There was a three-hour delay until the beached chase boat could be towed back in the water and they could be on their way. As the road crew began crossing the Chesapeake Bay in their bus, the low clearance of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel caused the land crew’s antennas to be ripped off, delaying communication between Danner for a good six hours until the repair could be made.

Danner was also temporarily detained by the Marine Patrol for a few moments while passing through South Carolina for not honoring the no-wake zone. The Heritage Golf Tournament which was being played in the area stopped momentarily to watch Danner as he passed through. The patrolman who pulled Danner over to cite him with a ticket for not honoring the no-wake zone posting let him off with a warning, secretly wishing him luck on his world record bid and explaining to him that he had to pull him over because so many people were watching and it was the law:

“With so many people watching the golf tournament, he told us he had to stop us but he’d heard about the run on the local news. He said, ‘I had to pull you over so it would look like I’m doing my job. But I know what you guys are trying to do, so please go slow until I’m out of sight. Be safe and don’t mention my name if you get stopped again. Good luck and God Speed to you,'” commented Danner about the officer.

Then there were the water’s natural inhabitants, who were none too pleased to share their home with Danner as he made his amazing attempt toward Miami. “The chase boat had sucked up some trash in the cooling system in the Myrtle Beach area, and we had to stop to cool the engine down and back flush the system to get going again,” said Danner.

For Danner, it was time to set plan B into effect in an effort not to lose any more precious ski time. Danner put on a small backpack which contained his filled plastic gas can and his maps and took off down the intercoastal waterway toward Charleston Bay where he later met up with both of his crews. After departing Charleston, as he entered the intercoastal waterway, his jet ski started sputtering and ran out of gas. He knew that he would need to again fill the tank alone, since he’d left both his water and land crew behind. He stopped his jet ski in the shallows where he could stand on the bottom and fill the gas tank.

As he started filling the tank he was looking at his maps. Out of the corner of his eye he saw the grass on the side of the bank move and then he realized that he was being pursued by alligators. His hands were shaking as he tried to put the gas cap back on the jet ski and he dropped his gas can and maps. He had only put in about 3/4th of the fuel.

The gas can and chart were floating in the water and he tried to start the jet ski, which wouldn’t start because he’d run it down so far on fuel. The jet ski finally sputtered and started — with the gators literally 15 feet away from him. “I stood up on the ski and saw one of them eating my map like a hot dog. The others were nudging the gas can. I said ‘I’ll see you boys later!! You ain’t eatin’ me for lunch today!'” said Danner. He did at 360 degree turn to see where they were before speeding off down the intercoastal.

Exhausted from long days standing gripping the Jet Ski, Danner had to have his hands and feet massaged by the fourth day into the trip to get his circulation back just so he could grab a few hours of sleep to finish the trip. But despite the near-death experiences and aching hands and feet, he pulled into the Bahia del Mar Marina in Ft. Lauderdale, FL on August 2, 1982 to cheering fans and supporters, completing his IJSBA World Record Jet Ski run in a record seven-and-a-half days.

Danner received press in the Miami and Nashville papers about his world record run, and was even immortalized in song when a friend penned “Roger Danner, The Kawasaki Cowboy” for him. The amazing adventure also helped a worthy cause as well — the American Cancer Society. But even more important, it helped raise awareness and increase curiosity about a sport that has become world-renowned and respected today.

Hydro-Turf Proudly Supports European Freestyle Championship

The organizers of the IJSBA European Freestyle Championship were happy to host Round 1 of the 2016 EFC that took place this past Saturday, May 14th in So’Fun Village, France. The first round of the European Championship welcomed 21 riders from 8 different countries, all to compete in the French round of European Freestyle Championship. Unlike so many US events, the European Freestyle Championship (EFC) purposely separated freestyle from high speed personal watercraft racing 5 years ago to give the branch of the sport sufficient and a much deserved greater spotlight.

To keep competition tight, the EFC has only three classes: Freestyle 800, Freestyle 900 and Freestyle 1200; with all athletes performing a 2 minute routine. Each routine is judged by five different judges, each per one criteria: variety, difficulty, execution, flow and number of tricks.

Again, unlike American freestyle which often gives so much credit to “amplitude”, the EFC encourages its competitors to push their limits of athleticism rather than demonstrating the sheer, raw power of their often highly expensive freestyle craft.

Industry leader and innovator, Hydro-Turf was proud to support this event and praised both the event organizers and promoters as well as its athletes for continuing to rally public appeal for the sport as well as push the boundaries of one of the most exciting branches of jet ski competition.

This past Saturday’s event at the So’Fun Village near Paris, France went off without a hitch, welcoming hundreds of spectators and awarding Best Trick prizes for each class as well as top podium places. The scoring ranks as follows:

Winner of the BEST TRICK 1200: Niels Willems; Winner of the BEST TRICK 900: Jessi Wijdeven; Winner of the BEST TRICK 800: Davey Herridge; FREESTYLE 1200: 1. Jonathan Kavanagh, 2. Tim Verheij, 3. Romain Stampers; FREESTYLE 900: 1. Jessi Wijdeven, 2. Josh Sanderson, 3. Chris Ames; FREESTYLE 800: 1. Jules Emmanuel, 2. Paul Hewitt, 3. Davey Herridge

If you’ve been around the US-side of jet skiing for more than a decade, you’ll know the name Parker Yamaha. Although its officially named “Parker Yamaha-Sea-Doo-Polaris-Honda,” the dealership servicing the 2,900 residents of the desert oasis town of Parker, Arizona, has been a mainstay of the PWC sport for decades, and has become a regular stop for thousands of PWC racers, riders and enthusiasts since 1992.

And while Parker Yamaha (SDPH) recently became the country’s highest volume Slippery-When-Wet dealer, it also announced it’s carrying of the entire Jet Renu Cleaning System line! So along with the dealer’s massive inventory of hats, wetsuits, gloves, boots, goggles, anchors, waterproof bags, wakeboards, skis, and inflatables, you can also pick up everything you could ask for from Jet Renu.

And don’t worry if you won’t be finding yourself near the Colorado River any time soon, Parker Yamaha (SDPH) has been making a huge name for itself with its mail-order catalog and online store; whether its Jet Renu products, sponsons, impellers, starters, underwater hardware, flame arrestors, gaskets, batteries, reeds, beach stands, or anything from their full line of rebuild and upgrade parts, Parker Yamaha has it all in stock.

And since the internet never closes, you’ve got access to their parts department 24-hours-a-day, 363 days a year! (Yes, even they get a couple days off now and again.) And if you’re a little more traditional, telephone calls are answered seven days a week.

Gallery: Cycle Springs Is Poised To Move More PWC Than Ever Before

Behind closed doors there’s a race towards sales supremacy that goes unseen by the typical personal watercraft enthusiast. Dealers vie for territories, expanding their reach to larger markets. Equally, deals made behind closed doors permit special pricing, unique discounting and breaks wherever possible. Anything to shave a few dollars (or cents) from the dealer’s expense and lure more potential buyers in through their glassy front door.

It’s the nature of doing business and it can be a little cut-throat at times, especially when it boils down to the biggest, most fertile market in the continental United States: Florida. Time after time, Florida has remained the leading consumer marketplace for PWC sales and there’s no sign of it slowing down. Of all of dealers and distributors in the state, two are in hot contention for first place: RIVA Motorsports and Cycle Springs Powersports.

Despite RIVA’s three locations and brand recognition through RIVA Racing, the solitary Cycle Springs store manages to move several hundreds of watercraft a month. To the untrained eye it might appear to be another “David and Goliath” story, but the right perspective would reveal David to be toting an AK-47. Cycle Springs’ Clearwater, FL location gives the dealer a centralized advantage, allowing easy access to enthusiasts more readily throughout the state, with water close enough for sales staff to escort buyers to the dock and walk them through the many features of their latest purchase. In fact, Cycle Springs’ hands-on post-sale treatment is a key attribute to so many customers’ return business. With the sale of every ski, the buyer is carefully guided through the launching and docking process, how to use the various features of the unit and how to properly flush and care for their new purchase.

Equally, in addition to selling the latest watercraft from Yamaha, Kawaski, and Sea-Doo (as well as Polaris, Quadski and Flyboard), the family-owned franchise dealership offers both OE and its own parts, which are not only available through their online store, but also through Western Power Sports (WPS) and other outlets; including their own pop-up cleats (which come free with the purchase of any PWC) and spray-in engine oil fogger kits to better preserve the engine’s longevity.

Started by Noel Hughes and Marty Skapik out of a small garage in 1989 on the Dunedin Causway, Cycle Springs has risen to the top by their commitment to personalizing the customer’s purchasing and service experience. To whit, Cycle Springs‘ industry-leading self-maintained Lifetime Engine Warranty, Money Back Guarantee and 50% Pre-paid Maintenance Plans have not only earned their place in the Florida market, but nationally as well.

So it only makes sense that their service department is expanding at an exponential rate. When we last visited Cycle Springs, construction was well underway for an all-new (and massive) service center. Guided by Cycle Springs’ Kenny Gore, we toured the current service center and storage facility that the dealer had simply outgrown; “See all of these crates here? In a month’s time, they’ll be uncrated, prepped and sold, and replaced with more units. We’ll move over 300 units in some months.”

Service techs rushed through the melee of a busy workday and maneuvering through the storage units. But clearly, they’re doing something right: “Cycle Springs is one of our top dealers,” explained Yamaha Motor Corp.’s Andrew Cullen, listing them among mega-stores like RIVA and Walt’s in Southern California. “They’re the utmost of professionals and are fantastic representatives for us. If there’s something they need from us, we work to make it happen, because if they’re happy, we’re happy. It’s reciprocal.”

With the new facility to open up shortly, plans for radically updating the main showroom in Clearwater are already on the table. “We really want to focus on the customer’s experience. If they enjoy their time here, then they’ll always want to come back.” And by emphasizing on the customer and their needs, Cycle Springs Powersports has shown its mantra works, even when poised against some of the biggest dealers in the nation.

America’s Motor Sports Sales Training Demo Day

Almost all of us have experienced it: brushing up with a sales person at your neighborhood powersports dealer and walking away feeling that you knew waaay more than they did about pretty much everything that had to do with watercraft. We at The Watercraft Journal regularly field queries from enthusiasts confused by misinformation passed on by a sales person at their local dealer. And while there’s little that anyone can do to keep someone from misleading a potential customer about the competition (“Oh that? You don’t want that one. They’re made from demolished orphanages and run on ground-up kittens.”), America’s Motor Sports, the largest Sea-Doo dealer network in Middle Tennessee, is striving to keep their sales team equipped with not only the best and most accurate information, but first-hand experience.

“We want our [sales team] to know how these machines operate,” explained AMS’ Madison store manager, Chance Blackwell. With nearly a dozen sales representatives from two of AMS’ area stores gathered, employees were given a first-grade walk-through on the various features and characteristics of each of the available demo units. An older Wake 215 was also provided to illustrate the advances Sea-Doo has made in both design, ergonomics and safety – most pronounced being the addition of iBR eight years ago. A duet of Sparks – one with iBR and another without – were also on hand to help riders experience the marked difference between having brakes and not. “[Brakes] make a huge difference,” Blackwell continued. “Today will help them be able to better explain and sell the benefits of iBR.”

A swathe of demo units and pre-owned units were tagged for the day’s exposition. In addition to the aforementioned Sparks, a pair of brightly-hued GTIs with differing trim features, were joined by a handful of S3-hull-based three-seater runabouts, including a supercharged RXT-X, a GTX and a RXP-X. Although traveling up and down the lake was limited so that responders could act quickly in case of an accident, riders were given plenty of room in the man-made lake to maneuver these machines at full power. And for those not on the water, cool drinks and a warm lunch sat beneath the lakeside shelter, hot off the grill. “We want everyone to get what they need here to share a positive experience to the customer,” Blackwell concluded.

A top-of-the-line GTX S 155 was put to good use as the waters surrounding Sander’s Ferry Park on Old Hickory Lake began to churn with the afternoon breeze. Employees experienced the insulating cushion provided by the suspension as they raced across the surface. Others scrambled for turns aboard the racy RXP-X 300, some of which underestimated the machine’s power and were seen swimming back aboard. In fact, a few chose to avoid riding the 300-horsepower machine, claiming that they weren’t ready for it. Others had to see for themselves: “Man, I had no idea,” wheezed one staffer. “That thing is a beast.” And that first-hand experience is a better sales tool than any (and all) of the brochures you could print.

You Can Own 2015 Yamaha FXHO as Seen on “Fishy Business”

There’s very few personal watercraft that have earned the right of celebrity (except maybe that Kawasaki JS550 that MacGyver managed to sneak into a coffin), but this particular 2015 Yamaha FX HO WaveRunner has seen plenty of screen time in its 7 months’ worth of use during the jet ski fishing Segment of “Fishy Business” on New Zealand’s TV ONE.

The fully-equipped machine has been well maintained over the course of its 92 hours on the clock. For the show, it was outfitted with a large screen Lowrance HDS7 Touch Sounder/GPS, a 70-litre split lid Icey-Tek bin (cooler), a Manta Marine bait station with four rod holders (brand new), a replacement OE FX HO Cruiser seat and comes with Yamaha’s RiDe system (neutral starting, and reverse/neutral on the fingertips rather than a manual lever down the side).

Heck, they’re even going to throw in a stainless steel trailer from Manta Marine. Moreover, the Yamaha has more than 2 years of factory warranty remaining and has been fully serviced, including just having the 100 hour service. Although it’s been listed for a while now, the price of $20,500 (NZD) or $14,000 (USD) has managed to keep buyers at bay. But not anymore! Even the cost of crating and shipping this Yamaha from Kiwiland to the States is a bargain considering all of the gear on it.

Mayhem is a word that could have been used to describe the last few years here at Pensacola, but this year the weather gods decided to blow from a different direction and laid the waves down for some unbelievably fast racing. The smooth blue waters and bleached white sand made a picture perfect backdrop to watch the Pro Show take place on Saturday and Sunday.

Once again AJ and the rest of the Pro Watercross team had the racing kick off without a hitch on Saturday. First up was the Pro Box Stock class where “King D” Dustin Farthing attempted to stay perfect on the season where his Sea-Doo RXP-X 300 has led the field lap after lap so far.

Billy Dearman had different plans in Moto 1 pulling the hole shot, he decided he was going to make Farthing work for perfection. Farthing quickly grabbed the lead after just a few laps and never looked back for the moto one win. Judge motorsports sponsored Dearman and Hidden Trails Motorsports rider Tim Ducat had a race long battle that ended up with Dearman in second and Ducat in third.

Farthing went on to ride his Mountain Motorsports Monster Energy Sea-Doo to two more moto wins to stay perfect on the season in Box Stock for the over all victory. Ducat, also aboard his Sea-Doo RXP-X 300, bested Dearman in Moto 2 and 3 to take second place overall on the weekend with Dearman rounding out the Top 3 aboard his Yamaha. Craig Warner, who pushed Dustin Farthing in Round One had some horrible luck and didn’t get to start Moto 3 ruining his chances at two consecutive Top 3’s. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Kommander Team rider and last week’s third place overall, Shante Bukes after a bad accident left her with a broken tibia. We wish her a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing her back on the track soon.

To continue with the theme of perfection, Hidden Trails Motorsports rider Jimmy Wilson tried to stay perfect in Pro Ski Stock, and after a great Moto 1 he looked to be on pace to do so. Unfortunately, there just so happened to be a legend of personal watercraft racing itching to put a end to Wilson’s dominance, Chris MacClugage.

And in Motos 2 and 3 he did so by putting his Broward Motorsports ski on top of the podium for the weekend. Wilson kept the racing very interesting by finishing a close second in Motos 2 and 3 to give him second overall. The third spot on the podium had a bit of a role reversal from last weekend with Mark Gomez edging out another Broward Motorsports rider, David Cabrera for third place overall.

Sam Nehme, owner of Broward Motorsports, had a great weekend in Sport GP riding his Judge Motorsports ‘Blaster to three moto wins. But this class has some of the best racing of the weekend with the Smith duo (of no relation) Johnny and Kelly duking it out for second and third overall. Johnny Smith edged out Kelly for second and brought the two into a tie for second overall on the tour. This is going to round out to be one of the best point races of the season.

Mountain Motorsports’ Farthing went to battle in an effort to continue his perfect run this season in Pro Am Runabout GP. After a win in Moto 1, Farthing had a bit of a get-off, allowing Brian Baldwin aboard his RIVA Yamaha and Ermino Inatosca on his WRT-prepped Sea-Doo RXP-X to finish in the top two spots for Moto 2, putting an end to Farthing’s and Sea-Doo’s dominance of the Runabout classes this season.

Without batting an eye, Farthing came back to win Moto 3 and take the top spot overall for the weekend. Baldwin took second overall after three consistent finishes. Even after starting Moto 1 with a dead engine because of a false start, Ermino edged out newcomer to the GP class, Tim Ducat for third overall on the podium.

Pro Am Ski GP is probably the most talented class on tour, top to bottom and that is saying a lot with the turnout this year. Jimmy Wilson once again came out of the gates in Moto 1 with another huge win to add to his long list of moto wins early in the season. Bad luck in Moto 2 opened up the race for the podium and some all-time greats took advantage.

Consistency in all three motos by K1 rider Dustin Motzouris gave him the overall victory in the highly competitive class. After a bad first moto, Chris MacClugage, also aboard a K1, took his anger out on the field and let everyone know why he is a living legend, handily winning the next two motos on his way to second overall. Third place on the podium went to Kommander rider Tyron Motzouris after barely edging out the talented Brock Austin.

After what the first two stops have brought us thus far, this is shaping up to one of the best National Tours in years, and has us all looking forward to what’s next! We’ll see you at Sparks, Nevada in a month’s time!

The Watercraft Journal Welcomes Jet X Powersports as an Advertiser for 2016!

By

The Watercraft Journal is the single-most read, most popular personal watercraft (i.e. PWC or “jet ski”) magazine in the entire world, with over 1,000,000 articles read a year and a quarter million individual readers a year. It too, is the only daily digital publication to be recognized and supported by all three OE manufacturers (Kawasaki, Sea-Doo BRP, and Yamaha).

So it only makes sense that Jet X Powersports, Ontario’s top source for watercraft service, support and performance needs, would join WCJ for 2016. With over a decade of experience in the Greater Toronto Area and Northern Ontario, Jet X Powersports has helped recreational riders, dealers and world class racers stay in the water more than anyone or anywhere else.
