According to a recent announcement of IJSBA carbon or lightweight aftermarket hulls will be allowed for usage in Open class. Therefore, multi time world and European champion Nicolas Rius has already an advantage this season for the World Finals. Rius Racing had developed a new carbon hull for the Super Jet that has already given Rius the European title. The engine that was used last year was very powerful and if this season it will be tune up to 850cc then Rius will be the one to beat in the Pro Ski class. After all being a spectator for one season was not that bad for him. This year he will not only be ahead of the competition but he will also be able to sell some of his well known hulls and get some profit out of it.
