Happening at Havasu
By Aaron Sanchez
The 2010 Quakeysense IJSBAWorld Finals went off in a big
way this October at Lake Havasu, Arizona. Every year it
seems to grow closer to a true World event with an ever
increasing international contingent, each with their own
style and speed secrets. This year champions were crowned
from all over the globe including France, USA, Sweden,
Canada, Japan, Russia and many other far off regions. The
racing was erce, the track was insane and the weather was
perfect for what could only be called one of the best world
nals in years.
Out of the gates, this years crop of youngsters were on
display for the whole world to see, and they put on a show
that brought the bleachers to their feet. A truly international
eld, the kid shredders rode their eighty pound butts off all
the way through the checkered ags. Friends and family
cheered and race team owners got a glimpse of the future.
That future looks bright for Estonias Markus Lutsokert
now that he has a world championship under his belt in the
Junior Ski 1315 Limited class. This is the stepping stone
class for all future novice, expert and pro racers and Markus
will go out on top, ready for the challenge. Als
really strong and taking second place just behin
was Team Fazzas Almur Bin Huraiz from Dub
slick black Hydrospace machine. Those two, a
third place rider Toshi the Samurai Ohara fro
went nuts on the racecourse while fans went nu
crowd. Rounding the top ve and battling it ou
end were fourth place Luke the Iceman Day o
and USAs Alec Hollandell in fth. Look out wo
kids are coming!

on slightly modied and similar handling craft and lined up
for six laps of mayhem. After the reworks settled in the
post race technical inspection area it was Riverside, CAs
Tyler Hill making mom and dad proud with a fat number
one plate. Tyler worked very hard aboard his Sea Doo for
his win against Texas Joseph Roberts who was all over
him on a Sims Racing prepped HX. With Joseph claiming
second place the race for third was epic as fellow Texan
Curtis Reinburg went back and forth with two Yamaha
mounted riders Casey Mauldin and Craig Woodberry.
Things got dicey, but Reinburg was able to eek ahead of
Mauldins immaculate Image Pro Designs Blaster for third
as Woodberry brought it home in fth.
As the weekend rolled in there was a denate change
in the atmosphere, both in the stands and in the pits. It
was time to break out the big guns and satisfy the need
for speed. Like an answer to the call, rst up came Ski
GP. Outrageously loud and insanely fast, these monster
machines have no limits; its run what you brun
see what youve got. Past champion Mike Klip
made the trek all the way from Fort McMurray
to lay the smack down on his red and black # 1
The Klipper was on re, and had to be to fend ocharging Austrian Kevin Reiterer aboard his sig
Hydro. By the nal laps the crowd was on its f

they were in an entirely different race of their o
As always, Expert Ski Limited was one of the mostcompetetive races of the week and this years champion
had to ght off some long time heavy hitters for the crown.
Hometown hero Brandon McMillan rode the rails off his
Queen Racing / Walts Motorsports Hydro and showed the
boys and girls how its done. His sparkle orange ski looked
like the great pumpkin as he checked out early and never
looked back. If he would have, he would have seen a erce
four way battle raging behind him between Belgiums
Quinten Bossche, American Jake Zier, female phenom
Anya Colley and Dubais Omar Alrashid. With similar
powerplants the action was tight and the laps went fast.
As the water settled it was Bossche in second, Zier third,
Alrashid taking fourth and Anya limping in her smoking
ride for fth.
The fastest expert level riders settle their scores in the Open
classes. Make no mistake these racers will be the next
pros and they are dead serious in their efforts to secure a
world title on their way out of the amateur ranks. Pantus
Andersson of Sweden piloted his Park Dog sponsored ski tothe winners circle in Amateur Ski Open and served notice
that he was the man to beat in 2010. Second place rider
Tiago Geitens was also on the gas aboard his Blowsion
prepped Hydrospace as was Indiana native Jake Zier taking
third on his DZ Racing thumper. United Kingdoms doll
Anya Colley and Hungarian hot shot Gabor Satbo lled out
the gang with top four and ve nishes respectively.
By far the most talked about and controversial class of
the week had to be Sport Spec. A class that was intended
to be cheap and fun, is all that and then some! Shadetree
mechanics and pro engine builders alike worked their magic

909, did not race in the nals. After winning his heat race,
the champ made an ill advised decision to race in the LCQ
and requalify a different craft - and thats when disaster
struck. Craigs Factory Monster Kawasaki machine broke!
That left the door wide open for a host of heavy hitters
with big horsepower to claim the throne. Aptly, it was
King D Dustin Farthing who trounced the competition
aboard his Mountain Motorsports/ Kawasaki sponsored
beast and claimed the crown. Farthing checked out and
was long gone by the halfway point which left another
Dustin, Charrier to battle it out for the runner up spot on his
Riva prepped Yamaha triple. Nabbing a sweet third place
was the United Kingdoms James Bushell on a Sea Doofollowed closely by the pair of Yamahas of John Hecox
and Trey Frame. It was a long race that truly pushed man
and machine to the limits of speed and endurance while
showcasing the various manufacturers latest toys.
Pro Ski is and has always been the class to watc
for the sheer entertainment value provided by w
class athletes on the coolest, fastest machines e

some things change and some things remain th
Representing change is the new crop of young
riders that have been making their mark on the
and Japanese tours like Reiterer, Kurahashi, Bo
and many other seriously fast riders. Reppin t
school were the usual suspects like MacClugga
Rius, Lawrence and a gang of Havasu regulars

MacCluggage looked beyond strong aboard his

thought the championship was his for the takin
huge dismount left him swimming for his ski as
Kurahashi Yuki, Ronny smurf Mangerud and Jake Barker
still had their hands full battling i t out for third, fourth and
fth in that order.
Theres nothing better than a catght in wetsuits andhelmets on the water, and the ladies of Womens Pro
Ski Limited delivered the goods in spades once again.
The queen bee, Emi Kanamori backed up her 2008
championship with another big win at Havasu in convincing
fashion. While many thought her Factory Kawasaki
preppedSXRcould not outrun the Hydrospaces on such
a large, wide open track, she romped away with two big
holeshots to victory aboard the # 600 machine. With Emissmooth style, tiny stature and unstoppable stamina, the real
race was for second place and beyond. Scratching her way
to a second place nish was another Japanese SXRmounted
rider Enami Ishikama who had a hard charging Aussie on
her tail. Kylie Elmers rode her heart out and made her bid
for the spot, but Enami shut the door to nish just ahead of
Elmers who earned a hard third. Kommander Industries
Lisa Barsbey nished fourth while Quakeysense equipped
Anya Colley came in fth.
Few things on this Earth are quite like a World
Championship Pro Runabout Open race. Nowadays, a
Runabout is a three seater, fuel injected, spooled up missile
and the start alone is worth the price of admission. Twenty
sit down craft hopped up on steroids and about to blow
up, piloted by insaniacs who have no problem going into
turn one blinded by the spray at 70 plus MPHmakes for
some great racing. With the throaty roar of the four stoke
engines and the crackling, popping sounds of the turbos
its not only a sight to see but an aural assault similar to an
NHRADrag race event. The drama always seems to follow
this class around like a dark cloud, and this year was no
different. Arguably one of the favorites and then current
reining World Champion Craig Warner, the pride of the

slipped away. With Macc off the pace, it was all about Jean
Baptiste Botti from France on the Tech One / Quakeysense
sponsored Hydrospace who had to hold off a late race
charge from 2009 World Champ Kevin Reiterer. K-Ret was
on the hunt, but Botti had plenty of speed of his own and
had it covered. As the checkered ags ew, it was Botti
with the gold, Reiterer taking the silver, and MacCluggage
recovering for a heartbreaking bronze. With so many fast
riders in this class its hard to stop with just the top three and
not mention some of the shining stars of the sport. Fourthand fth place went out to Japans Kurahashi Yuki and
USAs Rob Flores respectively while a mob of riders fought
it out for the remaining nish positions. In the battle of the
pack were notables Mike Klippenstien in 6th, Rick Sherker
taking 7th, and Norways superfast Yamaha rider Ronny
Mangerud working his way up to 8th. Filling out the top ten
and giving their sponsors something to cheer about were
9th place Bill Haig and Kommanders wonderkid David
Redinger in the 10th position.
Once a year in October the worlds best amateur and pro
freestylers battle it out on the water in what has become
not only a show of ashy tricks and backips, but a kind
of presentation time for the newest and hottest watercraft
parts, paint and accessories. With the new B.O.B. (Backip
on a Budget) ski, the super cool Rickter ride and all the RRPstuff all being tossed around on the lake its a jet ski junkies
dream. In Amateur Freestyle Alexander Kuramsmin came
all the way from Kazan, Russia and layed the smack down
against the rest of the world on his way to rst place. Alex
was in the zone as he busted out all the tricks with precision
and style. Hailing from England and taking second place
was Jack Moule while Vaclav Zacek broke out of the
CZzech Republic to claim third. In the Pro Freestyle wars
it was youngster Lee Stone from Chestereld, UK on the
new 1200 CC EME Q8 SKY and HydroTurf sponsored
ride pulling off the big win. Lee was all business throwing
out multiple backips, barrel rolls, supermans and every
other variation in his own ashy and friendly style. Japans
Fumikazu Watanabe looked way cool in his brand new
Quakeysense gear and ung his Superjet around in a stellar
routine that earned him a second place nish while Rok
Florjancic of Slovania wowed the crowd for third. Also
looking razor sharp and rounding out the top four was
Hiroshi Watanabe representing Hot Products. By the
reaction of the fans and the number of entries this year,
Freestyle is still a major part of the World Finals and the jet
ski scene.
With all the awards handed out and the last of the post
race parties in the books, we can look forward to the 2011
IJSBA World Finals next fall. If its anything like this years
Superbowl of watercraft racing then it will be well worth
the wait. Congratulations to Scott Frazier and the IJSBA
for once again putting on a truly world class event, and
much respect to title Sponsor Quakeysense for making it
happen. Co-sponsors that deserve a hats off are Hydro-Turf, Monster Energy Drink, Kawasaki, Skat Trak, Yamaha,
Sea Doo, McGraw Insurance, VP Fuels and many, many
others.
Its a long, cold winter but when the sun comes out, the skis
will hit the water and for many of us, the countdown to
World Finals will begin again. The countdown to friends,
family and good times may seem long, but its well worth
the wait. See you in Havasu 2011.

THE LEGEND
KEVIN GREENABOVE ALL ODDS
WETRACER:
How has the physical impairment affected or challen
the sport of watercraft racing?
KEVIN:
Physical Impairment wasnt really a challange for m
racing a stand-up ski sitting down. Theyre was alot
the pits and on the beaches. I heard sayings like loo
standing up that was unvtil they seen the I had lost
WETRACER:
What was your motivation to ride stand-up skis?
KEVIN:
My motivation to riding stand-up started when I race
in the mid 80s. 3 wheelers were outlawed in the late
the mid 90s a friend asked if i would like to go to th
ride his ski? hmmm sounds like a good idea to me.
got on the ski, it felt like me sitting on my 3 wheeler
me where the on/off and throttle was and it was on th
HOOKED !!
WETRACER:
Who was your biggest motivator in the industry that
involved with watercraft?
KEVIN:
I would have to say my biggest motivator in the indu
be all the racers themselves. I love being around eve
watercraft racing. Everybody helps everybody. If a r
problem, theres a racer with a solution. Ive seen the
loaning theyre own race boat,$20,000 - $60,000 ski
WETRACER:
In all of your seasons of racing what was your biggest
accomplishments?
KEVIN:
Through all my years of racing my biggest accomplishments
would have to be getting to know all my friends and family of
watercraft racing. Next would have to be the ramp. I rst seen the
ramp and it reminded me of 3 wheeler racing in the 80s jumping a
double or triple. Of course there was controvsey over them letting
me go over the ramp with the shape I was in. But eventually they
let me and, I think everybody was in awe when they seen how fast
I hit the ramp and how far I went.
WETRACER:
What has been the worst injury that you have received while
riding watercraft?
KEVIN:
My worst injury? Out of breaking my leg while I was in Ft.
Myars, FL and had to drive all the way back with nothing for pain,
then I broke 3 ribs at Cyprus Gardens. But Id have to say, while
competing for my 2nd World Title in 2002 on the ramp jump at
the World Finals in Lake Havasu City, AZ, I sailed 92.5 ft through
the air before coming to a rough landing where I exploded my L2
vertebre in my back. I was own to Vegas where I went through 8
days in the hospital and an extensive surgery to install a titanium
cage, but that would not hold me down. 7 months later I was back
on the coarse again at the start on the National Tour in Parker, AZ.
WETRACER:
Who has been your biggest supporter in the watercraft industry?
KEVIN:
My biggest supporter in the watercraft industry would have to be
the racers themselves. When I need help they are always there to
help.
WETRACER: What do you do to make a living in this current
ecnomy and keep racing a part of your lifestyle?
KEVIN:
I have my own business Greens WaterCraft repairing jet skis
and when thats slow Im helping my dad repair appliances at
Greens Appliance
WETRACER:
Where do you see yourself in the industry in the upc
KEVIN:

At midnight on Sunday, November 28thJettribes Team USA cametogether at the Bangkok International Airport for one more race of the
2010 season, and this race was bigger than anything the racers had se
before! We all piled in a large van that took us to a hotel about an houaway from the airport where we spent the first few nights of our trip. Agetting a few hours of sleep the team gathered for breakfast on Mondamorning and then headed over to the warehouse of Sam Chaisirivichieour Jettribe distributor in Thailand. We couldnt have been more gratefto have Sams warehouse at our disposal. While some of our group
worked on the boats to make sure that everything was running perfectthe rest of us worked on sorting through the Jettribemerchandise so that it would be ready to be sold at theraces that were just a few days away. Sam was evengracious enough to let us use his own private lake so thatwe could do some test riding with the runabouts!
While in Bangkok, when we werent in Sams warehouseworking on boats and organizing merchandise, we wereout doing site seeing at the Grand Temple Palace andeating authentic Thai food, which we couldnt get enoughof! But after a few days in Bangkok it was time to head tothe city of Phitsanulok where the race site was located.
On Wednesday we ran into our first major headache oftrip. We were scheduled to make the 5 hour trip toPhitsanulok, but unfortunately the taxi van that was
supposed to take our group (11 of us total) had no trunspace so we had to be separated from our luggage for
about a day until we could pick it up at the race site whit finally arrived. During our 5 hour trip we had to makestop to fuel up the van and this was also the first time we had ever had to use a public bathroom; the girlswerent very happy about the holes in the ground that
were known as toilets. We also experienced Thailandsversion of KFC on our next stop of the trip; surprisinglywas very different from Americas KFC. After arriving in
Phitsanulok we made our way over to the race site to scope things out and we liked what we saw: own pit area, huge grand stands, and Thailands own version ofVendor Alley! What more could we have asked for?!
Thursday was a day of practicing for the racers so that the riderscould get acclimated to the race course and unfortunately weexperienced our second headache of the trip when one of therunabouts motors blew; good thing one of Sams sisters was able tobring one from the warehouse so that Louis could begin working on
the motor later that night. After a few hours of practice we headedback to our hotel to get cleaned up for the opening ceremony. Theceremony was absolutely amazing and we were so impressed withhow much work the promoters put into making it an memorableexperience for all of the race teams. Our team was even able to meet

world! Derek, Christine, and Chelsea raced hard and put up fight against the other international riders in their racingclasses. Saturday and Sunday they, as well as Jeremy,continued to put up a fight during their remaining races. By
end of the race days our team was exhausted but they wereglowing with excitement at the fact that they were racing in foreign country with some of the best racers in the world!Although our team doesnt always win their races, therecouldnt have been a better team to represent the United St
of America in such a positive light.
On Sunday night after the races were over we had to packup our equipment and get back to the hotel as fast as wecould because the roads were going to be closed down forthe arrival of the princess. When we finally got back to thehotel we barely had enough time to even change into a
clean pair of clothes before we had to rush over to theneighboring building where the closing awards ceremonywas to be held. Like the opening ceremony, they reallyhauled out the red carpet for this occasionliterally! Afterguards waved their security wands over each of us we wereushered into the beautiful room where we excitedly waited
for the princess to arrive to present the Kings Cup awardsto the racers who had won the Pro classes. Before the awards ceremony started Tony pulled a few
strings and when the princess was done presenting tKings Cup awards our team was quickly escortedoutside where we waited alongside the red carpet nethe princesss car. While we waited for the princess tcome out of the building there were photographers a
camera crews with their cameras trained on us! Whethe princess came out we were able to personallypresent her with one of our teams pit shirts and wewere even able to talk to her for a minute before sheleft. We were the only team that was able to persona
meet the princess and it was such a high honor for ube presented with the opportunity!
Despite the fact that we ran into a few problems throughout the week (flat tires, blown motors, anbroken steering cables) the trip was still amazing. We also made a ton of new friends and we wereimpressed by how friendly and helpful everyone was. Thailand is definitely the Land of Smiles! Wcant wait for next years race and well be back bigger and better than ever before!
The next stop we made was a trip to Vietnam for a week to show the team our overseas warehous

WETRACER:
How and when did you rst get interested in Jetskis?
LARRY:
1975 I was working as a motorcycle mechanic at a
Kawasaki dealership when Doug Silverstein and the Jet Skitest team came through town. A year later I bought one of
the rst ones we got into the dealership.
WETRACER:
What was your rst ski?
LARRY:
1976 JS400. I think I paid $1,100 for it.
WETRACER:
When was your rst race?
LARRY:
It was a club event in northern California sometime in the
late 70s. This was when you could race on your knees. I
got a good start and worked my way backwards toward therear of the pack. Even though I got smoked, I was hooked.
WETRACER:
What is your most memorable race?
LARRY:
My rst major win. It was the 1981 Hawaiian Invitational
Championship held in the big surf on the north shore of
Oahu. It was wild. As much as it was a race, it was also a
battle to survive. Big waves wiped us all out at one time or
another. I came from behind and took the lead on the last
lap to win it.
WETRACER:
How many World Titles have you won? Racing and
Freestyle?
LARRY:
2 in Racing & 2 in Freestyle.
WETRACER:
Do you miss racing?
LARRY:
Yeah, those are some of my best memories. I lived my
dream, traveling around the world making a living racing.
WETRACER:
Tell us a bit about your career with being a stunt man. How
you got into doing that?
LARRY:
In 1994 I was contacted by R.A. Rondell, the stunt
coordinator for the movie Waterworld. We shot the
movie off the big island of Hawaii and I was there for 7
months getting paid in ride Jet Skis and learn how to do
other stunts. It was another dream come true for me, as
I had always wanted to break into the business. While
there I became friends with many of the top stuntmen in
Hollywood and that helped me continue advancing as a
stuntman once Waterworld ended and I moved to LA.
WETRACER:
What movies were you in?
LARRY:
Over 60 so far. Ive been fortunate enough to work in some
of the biggest movies made. Titanic, Matrix Reloaded, Fast
& Furious, Ironman1&2, etc., and of course a number of
Bruce Willis movies. Check me out on www.imdb.com for
a full list of everything Ive been in.
WETRACER:
How did you get to be Bruce Willis stunt double?
LARRY:
Bruce was looking for a new stunt double on the movie
The Whole Ten Yards. I was brought in for an audition
along with a lot of other guys that could possibly double
him. After returning for a number of callbacks, Bruce
nally picked me and I started with him on that show.
WETRACER:
You were critically injured in the making of Live Free or
Die Hard. Tell us about what happened.
LARRY:
After a month of big stunts we were back in L.A. shooting
a fairly tame scene in which I was scrambling down a reescape. I have no memory of the accident but what Im
told is that I somehow slipped off the re escape and fell
roughly 27 feet to my head. It was a long, tough, couple
years of recovery but Im thankful to be back at it.
WETRACER:
So I talked with you at World Finals about this Jetski
Racing feature lm you are making. What can you tell us
about it? Who is starring, what is the story line? When will
it be in the theaters?
LARRY:
Its called Hot Water and its really exciting! Iv
wanting to make a movie about the world of Je
racing forever. The basic storyline follows a co
hotshot jet skier that gets a dream shot on the p
an action/comedy and were going to shoot it d
summer of 2011.
WETRACER:
Where do you see the future of jetskiing?
LARRY:
Im not sure, but I know my movie will help bumomentum.
WETRACER:
What are your plans for the future?
LARRY:
With the completion of Hot Water I plan on con
transition into producing and directing. I have s
scripts in the works as well as a sequel to Hot W
does as well as Im condent it will.

MATRIX Pro (Carbon/Kevlar Epoxy Resin Hull) $8499.99 weight: 80 lbs
Our MATRIX Pro hull construction process comes from our extensive knowledge in aero-
space technology. We start with an epoxy primer providing a light and fracture resistant sur-
face. Next we precisely laminate our hull. A combination of carbon ber and Kevlar fabrics
are placed in molds engineered exactly to specications. Composite fabrics are infused with
aerospace grade high temperature epoxy resin. This resin provides a higher tensile strength
than any other available today. The nal step in lamination is to vacuum bag our components.This provides laminate consolidation resulting in a lighter and stronger product. Once the
components are fully cured they are removed from the mold and inspected. The components
are then glued together with the best methacrylate structural adhesive and secured with quality
hardware. Using this controlled process we are able to ensure that every MATRIX hull is of
the same caliber as the next.
MATRIX
SUPERFREAK
The ROK hull is 80L x 29W x 21H and is available in two versions. The rst is berglass
lay up, which consists of a hand laid combination of CSM, biaxial stitched fabric, and woven
cloth. High quality vinylester resin is used, with tooling gel coat for the surface nish. Theweight of the berglass hull is 85 pounds. The second is a carbon ber lay up, which consists
of only the highest quality IM7 carbon fabric, along with both vinylester and epoxy resin op-
tions, in a VARTM process. This results in very high strength and low weight, 55 pound hull.
All the thread inserts are stainless steel. The hulls are foamed with high quality expanding
polyurethane 2 pound density foam that is used by the US Coast Guard on the cutter boats, and
will not absorb water, even over a long period of direct exposure. Every hull comes complete
with all hardware. Fiberglass pricing is $3995.00, and carbon ber $5495.
