Pro Watercross is very
pleased to announce that Kuwait has joined as its first international affiliate
and has recognized the need to establish an International Program. The Kuwaiti
Alshiekha Mashal Dua'aj Alsabah has reviewed the history and future plans for
Pro Watercross and was in agreement that this would be a positive step for the
Kuwait Watercross Team. "Kuwait representatives had contacted us over the
summer and expressed their interest in being affiliated with Pro Watercross.
They were very impressed with the direction that we are taking the sport"
stated AJ Handler. "This is a great honor that Kuwait has given us."
Beyond providing
sanctioned Pro Watercross events and the benefits of membership, the
International Program will foster the globalization of the rules, competition
formats, and other standards, all with the aim of increasing international
competition. Key informational documents, including the Pro Watercross Rule
Book, will someday be translated into and published in other languages. This
program will be steered by an International Director and Country
Representatives as appointed by each participating country's national Pro
Watercross governing body.
With Pro Watercross
based in North America and the USA representing 85%+ of global watercross
athletes, the Pro Watercross World Championships will be held exclusively in
North America. Each year the Pro Watercross World Championship will draw race
teams, competitors, their support crews, spectators, sponsors and more to unite
the world's best watercross athletes, defining the sport of personal watercraft
racing as it crowns its World Champions each September.
The 2015 World
Championships will be held September 22-27 in Naples, FL and is being filmed
for CBS Sports, reaching into over 93 million homes and aired nationally on
October 18, 2015 at 9:00 PM EST.
The Pro Watercross World
Championship will continue to grow and evolve as it becomes the largest
gathering of personal watercraft enthusiast in the world and Pro Watercross
Affiliates will be an important element of the world class racing and the
growth of watercross.
Each year in addition to
competition, the Annual Meeting for Pro Watercross International Affiliates
will be held on the Saturday prior to the start of the Pro Watercross World Championship
to vote on rule book changes and general discussion for the advancement of the
sport.
