Looks like great fun. Thanks for posting these.

Next time some tighter shots. The tighter the better.

Looks a little reckless and dangerous? How was he racing? It looks like they were just trying to spray everyone with the prop? I'm afraid that if he would have been f-ing around my family like that he'd have a surprise waiting for him at the dock.

they race around a course of buoys placed in certain spots of the river.
it is a fairly tight run.
this boat did this by simply going too fast around the buoy. { it is a time trial too }

the people on the shore were the race officials.

if any spectators went past the fencing that was set up as a safety barrier the race was stopped.

i will post a video of a different boat to show the speed, although the boat in the video is slower...

Oh, now I see. My bad. Still looks like the course area is small compared to the speed. That piling in the beginning of the video looks like it could see some action if they're not careful. Thanks for the video!

Yeah - wow ! Has anybody ever hit the bridge? And lived to tell about it ? :eek:

And on the shots - what the others said, you gotta be tighter.

It's actually complete opposite. The area is huge. This sport originated in New Zealand. They usually race in what is basically a mud puddle.
The boats are jets, they do not have propellers.

To the OP, Agree, you need to get a little tighter.

Here's an example of a Jet Sprint Boat on a "real" racetrack.

Now that's what I call small area for the speed.
