The 2008 edition of the Jet Raid will be held in Peru from the 29th of November to 7th of December. During this time we have been thinking about the different options and without taking out any chance to the others countries we took the decision of choose the mystic Peru for the 8th edition. Together with the Peruvian JetSki Association and with the homologation of IJSBA we are going to have the World IJSBA Raid Championship. The Jet Raid organisation is proud to have this year the help of a group of fanatics of the jet ski like its president Anibal Aliaga. In this edition we are going to celebrate 10 years giving challenges and we promise to pilots and participants an unforgettable experience. We hope to have the sea book and the waypoints at the end of February and we keep on working to find economical solutions to have a low budget for the pilots. Jet Raid 10 Years of Adventure.

France is without any question one of the most important nation on this sport. The Kawasaki Pastorello Team with Jean Bruno in the head will be hard to kill. In 2006 on the Uruguayan edition they have mechanicals problems the first day and they return home quickly. Same happened in Oleron 2007 where a fuse took from their hands the victory. In the pass Joel Bonteaux brought to France 3 world tittles, 2000, 2001, and 2002 but since them the Spanish and the Belgium takes everything home. This year they return stronger than ever with a very important mechanical support but they already know that you can not win only with the throttle. Anyway a lot of galactic pilots from France are not taking the decision to come to the Jet Raid and be compared to an unknown pilot on a stock machine and not be able to win. Welcome Pastorello for the decision to try again to win this kind of event. This team has on the starting line also the Spanish Galo Polo with the experience of 2 editions where the victory was close and far away at the same time. France has a big pass but, will they have future, specially now with the Nation Cup.

Frenchman Steven Dauliach won the Pro Ski class at the Dubai championship. He competed with an ex-Shawn Workman SX-R that was prepared by Jet Ski Unlimited. Though, the engine was updated, in fact he used one of the four engines that Steve Webster had prepared for the Dustin Motzouri’s World Finals 2007 race craft.

Following our recent communication with Frenchman Franky Zapata we were informed that he had offered a ride to talented Steven Dauliach for the European Tour. Two months ago Dauliach had topped the results of the Dubai Champions at the Pro Ski class on a Kawasaki SX-R, though at the moment he is practicing on the new FZ950. It is a new Ski made from Zapata Racing that features a home made hull with a Sea Doo 950 engine on it. It is available in Stock and Superstock versions. Rumors are saying that the stock FZ950 is faster than the best Superstock SX-R.

Famous Frenchman Cyrille Lemoine (Sea Doo) played key role to the offshore race Karujet that was held in France and managed to top the result’s list. Simonini managed to climb to second place of the podium while Botti ended up third overall. Nicolas Rius took place on a Kawasaki as well as Brice Lopez. The wind and big waves made the whole race extremely difficult for all racers.
