Good Jet Ski Websites

I'm going to make a sweeping statement here and say that there aren't any good jet ski shopping websites in Australia. Occasionally you find a site that lists new and used watercraft for sale. But have you tried buying a new jet ski wetsuit or life jacket online? It's impossible. It seems to me that this is a bit daft considering that Australia is so large and most people simply can't go to a shop to get their gear that often.

So, if there's anybody out there who knows of a decent jet ski shopping website then let me know about it.

London to Sydney Jet Ski Ride

Following the unqualified success of the ‘Qantas Jet Ski Around New Zealand’, a world record ride from London to Sydney is now being planned.

In 2006 Jeremy Burfoot and Brad Burton went on a trip of a lifetime all in the name of charity, riding Seadoos 5,000 kms right around New Zealand to support cancer awareness. Jeremy then 46, a Qantas 747 Captain and father of three sons has had personal experience of melanoma and saw an opportunity to use Jetski Around NZ to promote a SunSmart message during the summer.

The London to Sydney project ups the ante on the New Zealand trip - the total distance is about 28,000 km which is a world record by 9,000km. It should take around 4 months.

2008 World Surf Moto

YAMAHA Australia have agreed to be major sponsor of the WORLD SURF MOTO and the Australian Surf Moto Championships at Kingscliffe.

In association with the Presenting Sponsor, Australian PWC Show, they have come on board and the JSCB is grateful for both companies support. Race Site Changed The site of the WSM has been changed from South Kingscliffe beach to the Main Kingscliffe Beach. We now have a fantastic site just 50 metres north of the Beach Club where the presentation will be held. The change was necessitated by the the lack of beach at South Kingscliffe due to the recent major ocean swells.We are indebted to NSW Maritime Safety and the Tweed Shire Council for there understanding and help in securing this site.

JetSports Magazine James Masterton has announced that there will be a professional camera crew in attendance to film a DVD for inclusion in the magazine. The crew have already scoped the site and this will be a wonderful coup for the WSM. If you wish to be part of this you have to be there. The surf is wonderfull and clear. The water is warm and temp is still in the late 20's.
