15th World Championships - New Zealand
Welcome
We'd like to introduce you to Formula 1 Water Ski Racing in a way that makes you feel part of the team, as if you were there at every race, just from where you are sitting! Throughout the season we will bring you regular race reports, race pictures and movies, introduce you to the competition and provide updates related to the F1 water ski world. In addition, we hope to bring features and web links to other areas of water ski racing from all over the world.
However, due to the race accident of Filip back in April 2006, he is recovering and is not racing anymore. We hope he will be back on the water in the near future. We'll try to update you as much as possible on the recovery process.

1/22/2008Update regarding Filip's recovery: it has been more than 1,5 years now since Filip crashed at the Marathon race at Lake Elsinorewe (USA). After multiple visits at different hospitals and a surgery some months ago, we must admit that a full recovery will probably not be possible anymore. However, as waterski racing was Filip's passion, he will continue to be actively involved in this great sport, so see you soon at one of the races, events, training camps, etc.
1/1/2008Together with Filip and the other team members, we wish you a great 2008, full of happiness and success.
4/1/2007It has been one year now that Filip had his crash during the Marathon race at Lake Elsinore. Some weeks ago, he had surgery, but we are still waiting for the real impact. The recovery will take some time, and we hope for the best but a comeback to racing will probably not be possible. An update mail will be send out in the coming weeks. Fingers crossed…
