Jet Sports Boating Association (IJSBA) is the world’s largest membership organization for personal watercraft enthusiasts
The International Jet Sports Boating Association (IJSBA) is the world’s largest membership organization for personal watercraft enthusiasts. Founded in 1980, the IJSBA’s roots are in personal watercraft racing. The IJSBA began by sanctioning races for the growing number of personal watercraft owners. Today, the IJSBA sanctions a national tour of professional PWC racing, over 200 regional races and races in 29 countries culminating in the world championship Skat-Trak World Finals event at Lake Havasu City, Arizona.
As the personal watercraft market has grown and expanded, IJSBA has grown with it. The largest growing segment of IJSBA’s membership today is made up of recreational riders. For those members, IJSBA has tailored an attractive membership package. Call me at the IJSBA at (714) 751-4277, ext. 23 for more information.
What makes the IJSBA unique is its growing number of Charter Clubs. The IJSBA recognizes that part of the fun of PWCs is riding them with friends. Fortunately, many PWC enthusiasts already know this and have formed local associations of fellow PWC enthusiasts with whom they can get together and enjoy their sport. Many of these clubs choose to form an association with the IJSBA through its Charter Club Program.
IJSBA Charter Clubs are fun and active local groups of PWC riders. Charter Clubs hold fun events such as rides, poker runs and trips to new riding areas. They also are respected community organizations that raise money for charity, organize beach clean-ups and sponsor safety seminars that educate their members and others on safe boating. As grassroots groups, they are also effective at promoting a positive image of our sport and protecting waterways from unfair restrictions.
