Force Boats said; “Congratulations to all of the drivers, observers, skiers, event organisers and family’s involved – we appreciate the effort, time, and training it takes for these race events to be such a success. The rumours that have been circulating that Force has an 18 month waiting list is not true. It’s – so just enough time to gear up for the Belgium World Waterski Racing Championships in 2009″.
