A 26-year-old long distance lorry driver, Jason Bleasdale, has become the first man in Britain to hold three national jet-ski titles. With four years experience, and just three competitive years, behind him, Jason now holds the British Championship Expert and Pro Class titles in freestyle jet-ski and the UK National Pro Class title. He is the first man to hold all three titles and the first to hold both British titles at the same time.
Jason Bleadale says, “I’m really proud and it is something I love doing.”
Jason, who is sponsored by Loki Customs and XScream, first tried his hand at jet-skiiing on a watersports holiday in the Canary Islands and now spends most of his weekends practicing and showcasing his barrels, nose dives and back flips. He also trains with Ant Burgess, a former world champion, at Hartlepool Marina and travels around the country doing displays.
Expect to see dozens of jet-skiiers converging on Hartlepool this weekend for the first UK Freeride Surf Shred, organised by Jason. It takes place at Seaton Carew on Saturday, December 3, between 10am and 4pm.

 How amazing does the SuperJet look? With its new 'carbon' look matched with black hull and deck, this was created for the world’s leading pro racers and has earned its place in racing history. Power comes from a high-performance, two-cylinder, 701cc Yamaha 2-stroke marine engine,connected to a 144mm Hyper-Flow jet pump propulsion system, while the design of the SuperJet’s stainless steel impeller has been developed with the help of direct feedback from racers. The whole system has been engineered and refined, using fluid analysis technology, to deliver maximum acceleration and top speed.
In the age of high performance, supercharged, three seat personal watercraft it’s easy to forget that the modern personal watercraft evolved from the humble 'stand up' style craft. While other manufacturers have pulled out of the stand up segment in recent times, Yamaha is committed to continuing in this market.

 Here's a new concept in personal safety for you - Mobilarm has integrated its Sea Marshall AU9 and Crewsafe V100 Maritime Survivor Locating Devices with Personal Flotation Devices (PFD) to create 'Intelligent Lifejackets'.
“Seafarers are expected or required to carry numerous items of safety equipment,” says Geoff Billington, Sales and Marketing Director, International Safety Products Limited. “But Intelligent Lifejackets combine two critical features in one. By designing our lifejackets to incorporate an emergency radio beacon, we are increasing the product’s fundamental ability to save someone’s life. The lifejacket keeps a casualty afloat, and the distress beacon tells rescuers where to find them. The beacon is well protected inside the lifejacket while it is packed, stowed in a ‘ready’ state and secured in the best position for automatic transmission when the lifejacket is inflated and the device activated. This gives the victim the best chance of rescue.”

According to a dive operator the Philippines is the only country not to issue licenses to operators of water craft like jet skis and banana boats. As a result boat operators don't have to be trained or licensed and inexperienced tourists, therefore, are putting themselves at risk. A recent accident, which resulted in the death of a 50 year old Korean, highlighted the dangers. The inflatable the tourist had been on, which as being pulled by a jet ski, collided with a pumpboat. Jet ski driver Joavanni Paquibot and pumpboat operator Alsin Tongco were released from detention after police filed charges of reckless imprudence resulting to homicide.

A jet skier had to be rescued after being crushed while trying to launch his jet ski at Frinton-on-Sea in Essex. It's believed the jet ski took off before colliding with a wooden breaker in the sea. The man, in his 40s, was taken to Colchester General Hospital by the East Anglian air ambulance.
Ambulance service spokesman Gary Sanderson said, “On our arrival it was evident that the man had suffered suspected crush injuries and was still in the water. With the assistance of the public, one of our crew members entered the water and removed the man to a place of safety. Following treatment, immobilisation and stabilisation by ambulance crews and a team of critical care paramedics from the East Anglian Air Ambulance, he was flown direct to Colchester General Hospital.”
