There was nothing scientific about this poll, polling took place with
PWC Racers, promoters, bloggers and enthusiasts who track offshore PWC
Racing.
How we are defining offshore PWC racing:
Offshore PWC Racing involves racing PWC offshore a minimum of 35 miles i.e., in the open ocean off the coast where the PWC racer encounters mother nature, her swells, sharks, kelp and cross chop at high rates of speed. True offshore racing does not involve riding in salt water behind a break-wall there to offer protection from the elements.
Offshore racing and riding involves big waves, chop, tanker wakes, possible fog and big ocean; this is truly offshore riding and racing. Offshore PWC racing attracts a very special breed of racer that has true endurance to race PWC in rough water for long distances. The offshore racer must be able to tolerate a great deal of pain. He/she must be able to endure the potential violence inflicted on the human body that only the open ocean can inflict on man/woman and PWC Machine at a high rate of speed. It usually involves long distances (minimum of 35 miles) and straight lines that involves navigation skill. There is no break-wall to protect the racer.
Offshore racing is in the open ocean and is a test of your skill, stamina, your machine and a test against mother nature. Oh how we love it so!
