For the first time ever we are staging Formula 1,2 and 3 water ski racing in the Historic

Maritime Quarter of Kings Lynn. Ready to rival the Diamond Race which is a world

renowned water ski race in Belgium, close to the Henseatic town of Antwerp this event will

be of a high octane nature with racing speeds of close to 100mph. Watch from the banks of

the Ouse whilst competitors race across the choppy water surface. We hope this will be an

unforgettable experience and one to continue for years to come.

Enjoy and share the 29th Diamond Race promo video from Belde Productions.
