The results are still pouring in from this past week’s 37th annual IJSBA World Finals, but there’s a whole lot to celebrate if you’re a fan of Sea-Doo. The industry leader took home a staggering 11 IJSBA world championships, most notably in the 1100 Stock, Limited and Super Stock categories, making these classes (ideal for the Sea-Doo Spark) one of the fastest growing racing categories. Add to that the 8th consecutive win for the RXP-X in the Pro GP class, and Mohammed Burbayea’s second consecutive Pro World Championship on the RXP-X, and Sea-Doo has much to celebrate.
Here’s the original press release:
Lake Havasu City, Arizona, USA – The Sea-Doo RXP-X continues to make history with Kuwait’s Mohammed Burbayea claiming the 2018 Pro GP IJSBA world championship. Burbayea showed incredible closed course prowess riding the Sea-Doo RXP-X to the model’s eighth consecutive IJSBA Pro GP championship. Sea-Doo RXP-X riders also collected championships in Pro Superstock and Pro Limited. Waleed Alsharshani of Qatar claimed his first Pro Superstock win joining Denmark’s Marcus Jorgensen who won Pro Limited and Pro Slalom as X-TEAM world champions.
The Sea-Doo X-TEAM contingent from Thailand led the way in the fast growing Sea-Doo SPARK classes at the 37th IJSBA World Finals. Supak Settura earned the Pro/Am 1100 Open world title as teammate Permpon Teerapatpanich claimed the Pro/Am 1100 Stock world championship. Thai riders also included Teerapat Meechai collecting two world championships, in amateur stock and super stock, with Tossawanon Phuearphong joining him with a win in 1100 Limited. Yuki Francois claimed her first championship leading the hotly contested Pro Women’s 1100 class aboard her Sea-Doo SPARK.
The Sea-Doo X-TEAM world championship legacy continues to grow with Sea-Doo leading all manufacturers with 11 World Titles and 47 podium finishes*. The Sea-Doo RXP-X racers added more world championships to the trophy case and the Sea-Doo SPARK is bringing the next generation of watercraft racers to the sport. BRP congratulates the X-TEAM riders from around the world on their championship winning success and says, ‘thank you’ to all of those behind the racers including family, team members, and sponsors.
