John Belton Inducted Into the PWCOFFSHORE Hall of Fame! Member #3
July 22, 2012
The racers selected to the PWCOFFSHORE Racing Hall of Fame have been selected for their years of accomplishments and contribution to the offshore Jet Ski / PWC sport, overall impact they have had on the offshore racing community and sport as a whole. These racers are truly the elite of the elite.
The 3rd member to be inducted into the Hall of Fame is John Belton. John Belton was the most experienced rider selected to be a PWCOFFSHORE Racing Sponsored Racer in 2008.
John has been riding personal watercraft for 25 years and has spent the vast majority of his life on the water through sailing and other offshore sports. Mild mannered, but don’t be fooled! This is a marathon runner, motocross rider, Mark Hahn 300 Mile Race Champion with many wins under his belt from decades on the water.
The consummate professional nick-named "The Master" by his peers, John has earned the respect of veteran racers from well over 1200 (yes, that is 1200) 58 mile Long Beach to Catalina and back rides on a PWC and countless hours spent on the ocean sailing his sailboat. Simply put, John is one of the most knowledgeable, experienced PWC offshore riders in the world. A tremendous wealth of information for offshore riding and racing related topics, there is nobody on the water today that knows the Long Beach to Catalina channel as well as John. A master at reading the water, predicting sea state, astute at navigation, a mentor and great friend to many and a class act to boot.
Welcome John Belton to the PWCOFFSHORE Hall of Fame!
