 Sea-Doo X-TEAM riders dominate IJSBA World Finals with 12 World Championships and winning all Pro classes, while Eric Lagopoulos wins the Brake the Bank bounty.
New Zealand's Sam Harvey led the new champions with the first place Pro Runabout Open win on his Sea-Doo GTI. Harvey finished just ahead of fellow Sea-Doo GTI mounted Anthony Antes of Australia, in a field stacked with the best watercraft racers in the world.
Kylie Ellmers of Australia earned two Pro titles, repeating as Pro Women's Runabout Champion and finishing first in Pro/AM Limited Runabout, on her Sea-Doo RXP-X, and claimed a double portion of the Sea-Doo X-TEAM Bounty racer support contingency money from BRP.
Tim Neff of Indianapolis - an IRL race team engineer - finished in front of a loaded field in Pro/Am Runabout Stock followed by Carl Lampe Jr and Troy Snyder with all three top finishers on Sea-Doo RXP-X. Blaine Spires claimed his second World Title in Pro 800 Runabout on his Sea-Doo.
This year, the Brake the Bank event pitted Sea-Doo racers against the clock with each riding the same 2010 Sea-Doo RXT-X, equipped with a brake, around the track attempting to log their fastest timed lap. The twist was that each competitor had to brake and stop after passing the finish line before a marked stopping point, or a two-second penalty was added.

 With the global economic situation reducing the 2009 IFWA World tour to just one European leg, UK riders and their supporters were not going to let it prevent them from having a blast. JS&PW joined Ant Burgess, Graham Reid and Tanvir Hussain as they headed south for the big wave event.
Montalivet, an outlying seafront commune of Vendays Montalivet is situated towards the north of the Medoc peninsular that juts out above Bordeaux in Western France. In 1856, the then mayor founded the resort with a concept of developing a holiday destination in keeping with nature. The area is certainly winning its endless struggle against concrete, developing at a pace that allows nature to keep up in line with the founder’s vision.
