Sea-Doo X-Team Dominates 2013 IJSBA World Finals

Sea-Doo captures 14 of 14 Pro runabout podium positions

Sea-Doo thoroughly dominated the competition at the 2013 IJSBA World Finals in Lake Havasu, Ariz., taking 14 of a possible 15 Pro runabout podium positions and 81% of the podiums in classes using modern watercraft.

The IJSBA World Finals is the largest watercraft specific event in North America where the best racers from around the globe converge to compete for World Championships.

South Africa’s Jarod Moore led the Sea-Doo X-Team charge by winning his first Pro Open World Championship on his RXP-X model and James Bushell added two more World Championships to his resume, claiming both the Pro Stock and Pro GP classes on his RXP-X watercraft. South Africa’s Shante Bukes took top prize in the Pro Women’s class, also on a RXP-X.

The only Pro runabout class Sea-Doo didn’t completely dominate was the 800 class, won by Teera Settura on a Hydrospace craft.

As for the stand-up classes, Chris MacCluggage (Hydrospace) topped the Pro Ski class, Mike Klippenstein (Hydrospace) won the Stock class, Anthony Burgess (Yamaha) took the freestyle title and Emi Kanamori (Kawasaki) took the women’s class.
