Team building is central tenet to success, and nobody knows this better than PWCOffshore.com’s Mark Gerner. Gerner has hand-selected his team of CORE riders from across the country – the most hardened and skilled offshore surf riders there are. But many would argue that Gerner’s collection of offshore racers would be woefully incomplete without one key player: the UK’s Russell Marmon.
Well, argue no more! Marmon is just the latest addition to the PWCOffshore.com CORE team and will be properly representing the PWCOffshore.com logo and livery when he next competes in the P1 AquaX. Despite the rule leaning heavily against the overpowered Kawasaki 310R that he pilots, Marmon continues to dominate.
Marmon touts 22 years of riding experience with 14 of those competitively, and holds the place as being undefeated in every single race in 2011 (save for one) and took 3 out of the 5 rounds of racing in P1 AquaX. We’re hoping to see Marmon at the PWCOffshore.com CORE team’s favorite Long Beach to Catalina Offshore Championship, but that’s quite the haul.
Here’s the original press release:
PWCOffshore.com is pleased to announce that UK Champion, AquaX Champion, 2014 Martinique Champion, Mark Hahn 300 Mile Race Podium Finisher, Mark Hahn 300 Mile Race Iron Man winner, and the list goes on…. Mr. Russell Marmon of the United Kingdom has been selected and will join the PWCOffshore.com CORE Race Team comprised of Mark Gerner, KC Heidler and Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Craig Warner! Russell Marmon will be racing PWCOffshore.com Racing’s #66.
With over 23 years’ experience, Russell Marmon is one of the best endurance and offshore racers in the world. Russell Marmon’s dominance of offshore and endurance racing has been evident and consistent, earning the respect of his fellow racers across the globe. Russell Marmon remains a great ambassador and advocate for endurance and offshore racing. PWCOffshore.com founder and fellow CORE Team Racer Mark Gerner said, “We are incredibly selective regarding inclusion into the Team. I am excited to welcome Russell to the CORE Team and pleased to have such a capable, mature racer & athlete representing PWCOffshore.com CORE Team in the United Kingdom, Europe and beyond.”
PWCOffshore.com polled the race community regarding who the best endurance & offshore racer was in the UK and literally 100% of the votes were for Russell Marmon. This is no surprise. Russell is not only an elite athlete and racer, he is also committed to being an advocate for and passionate regarding the growth of offshore and endurance racing across the globe. Always humble, Russell Marmon said “I am honored to be selected to the CORE Team! I am utterly flattered by the recognition. I consider myself a normal bloke enjoying my sport and have never looked at myself and thought I was something special. I just tried so hard and failed many times but never gave up – that’s all I did. Again, I am truly honored to be selected to the PWCOffshore.com Racing CORE team!” Russell Marmon’s primary race craft is the Kawasaki Ultra 310R.
