The world’s greatest Watercraft Freeriders and racers will descend on Pacific City Oregon for the year’s top PWC surf event. The Blowsion Surf Slam combines the second round of the IFWA Freeride World Championship Tour with the IJSBA Freeride World Cup and MotoSurf Western Championship. The event will be held at Tierra Del Mar Beach located just north of Pacific City and is free to the public on this wide expanse of beach. This event marks a return to IFWA and IJSBA co-sanctioning events in order to bring the very best PWC athletes together at one venue.
The Blowsion Surf Slam will bring over 30 freeriders from around the world competing for a cash purse and points towards the IFWA World title and competing for the first IJSBA Freeride World Cup. The infamous Pacific Coast surf will boost riders over 20 feet in the air while performing tricks like backflips, barrel rolls and no handed landings. Joining them will be some of the best PWC racers in the world who will display high speed turns through a grueling buoy course all while challenging the unpredictable waves.
Current IFWA points leader and last year’s World-Title holder is American Ross Champion. When asked about his thoughts on the 2009 US location he said, “We are really looking forward to the Blowsion Surf Slam this year. We riders have been coming to Pacific City for the last 10 years for a private event. We are happy to be expanding the event this year and looking forward to the general public being exposed to the sport of Freeride.”
Spectators will also witness exciting personal watercraft racing with the IJSBA MotoSurf Western Championship. The top 20 racers in the country will battle it out in the challenging Pacific City surf. Multi-time IJSBA World Champion, Chris Macclugage is looking forward to the event. “ I am excited about the return of MotoSurf to the West Coast. The only racing I really enjoy is in the surf,” said MacCluggaage.
Freeriders will compete in a head to head double elimination format. A panel of profession judges will score them using 50% for their wave surfing and 50% for their aerial maneuvers. Racers will compete, in a multi-lap format; through a challenging buoy course that requires split second navigation while maintain speeds exceeding 70 MPH.
The Blowsion Surf Slam is part of the 5th year of IFWA Freeride World Championship Tour. Each stop on the tour features a beautiful tourist location along with the potential for large surf and impressive competition. The IFWA is the International Freeride Watercraft Association and the sanctioning body for the sport of Freeride. The IJSBA (International Jet Sports Boating Association) is the world’s sanctioning body for organized PWC competitions. The IJSBA has affiliates in more than 50 countries worldwide and each October, since 1982, holds the annual World Championships in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.
