Tory Snyder Wins P1 AquaX Bahamas World Championship


Tory Snyder was crowned P1 AquaX world champion at the three-day Bahamas World Championship which was held from November 4-6 2022, in Nassau and marked the climax of the P1 AquaX personal watercraft race season.

“In April I went to the Cayman Islands and won a leading endurance race and I’ve now won here in The Bahamas,” said Tory. The 19-year-old racer from Bradenton, FL finished the opening two races in second place, but clinched the title by winning the last race

“The Caribbean waters have been good to me this year and hopefully I can come back next year and do the same thing. I had mechanical issues on the last lap in some races this season, so it feels good to end the year with a win and I’m happy.”

Jimmy Wilson of North Carolina was this year’s Pro Enduro Champion, finishing ahead of Christian Daly. Chris MacClugage nabbed 4th place after experiencing mechanical issues with his Yamaha GP1800 during the final round.

17-year-old Jay Finlinson from Indiana took home the Amateur International Cup, while Trey Williams and Jason Williams took podium places, and Cline Glidden from the Cayman Islands took fourth place.

Deven Farthing won The Pro Rookie of the Year award after a strong first season of Enduro racing, and Broward Motorsports received the 2022 Team of the Year trophy.

This year, P1 AquaX introduced the ‘Eagle’ Trophy in memory of Eris Francis, the 2019 AquaX world champion who passed away earlier this year. Chris Landis was presented with the trophy by Eric’s widow, Sophie.

“Eric brought Chris into the sport and Chris received the trophy for being an outstanding ambassador for P1 AquaX and for his valuable help with the logistical planning for The Bahamas event” according to a P1 AquaX press release.
