Get down to Baypark Stadium this Saturday to watch a night of high octane action on the water.
The world championship jetsprint finals will see world titles up for grabs and top teams from across the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand battling it out across the three classesof jet boat.
The boats reach speeds from 0-100km/h in under two seconds and pull up to 7 g's and 130kph on the built for purpose aqua-track, making for an exhilarating sporting spectacle.
A free dedicated Kids Fun Zone with giant waterslide means young members of the family can get a taste of their own watery thrills and spills. The secure setting will also have bouncy castles, face painting, balloons and plenty of food.
The pits will be open for a limited time to allow spectators to see the boats up close and meet the international race teams.
