The first round of the South African Jet Sport Boating Association (SAJSBS) National Jet Ski Racing series for 2019 took place at the East Rand Speedboat Club on March 23.

Fourteen different classes ran on Saturday including veterans, junior ski, sport and runabout, novice and pro ski, to name a few.

Another local rider from Benoni, Cindy Lawrence Kearns, competed in two classes on Saturday.
She managed to claim fourth position overall in the Booster Cup class and third position overall in the sport lites class.
