Derek Correl Jettribe Team Member's recalls our adventure Asia Tour.

Where to begin? There were so many memorative moments. It will take me a while to describe all the experiences. First off, my journey began with thanksgiving with the Vo family. We had a great time with tony and his family. And yes, we had both styles of turkey. They were both great. Our next journey was from LAX to China, to meet with our suppliers. Every year has been a challenge. But this year, we have so. Many different cities to visit on A very tight schedule, before we even think about the world kings cup in Thailand. One extra added bonus, was that we had a whole row to ourselves, which made out first long flight over the pacific very comfortable for everyone to rest. And we needed that rest, because after landing in china, we hit the ground running. Our tight itinerary posed a great challenge. Our first supplier picked us up at the airport, and had lunch with us. She then took us for a tour around several factories, along with accompanying us for several meetings where important decisions were made for our product line. But as always, our tight schedule left no time for us to sightsee before our next appointment.

After a long day, we decided to take a walk around our hotel. Across the street, we discovered a mall, not unlike the ones we are used to. On our walk, we met up with an English teacher from Georgia. She was teaching english to the Chinese. She was very glad to see us, and decided to take us to a Walmart. We soon found out, Walmart in china really shows the Chinese culture, in the products it carries. Seafood wasn't just fresh, it was alive. What an experience.

The next day, we woke up early to rush though breakfast, and head to the airport for another long day of traveling from meeting to meeting. We had a short flight to Luzon, to meet up with a group of clients. We landed in a place called Liuzhou, where Larry Chen picked us up, and took us to our hotel. We wasted no time as we prepared for a meeting over dinner with clients. We had a great and diverse dinner of sushi and French fries. And yet again, an early morning meeting with clients kept us from staying out too late. Written by Derek Correl

Jettribe Team USA was so stoked to have Jamie-Lee Spence on our team at the King's Cup in Thailand.

About a month ago now I went over to Pattaya Thailand for the King’s Cup - World Cup grand prix jet ski racing. It was the most amazing experience of my life I’m so grateful for everything and everyone who helped me out. There is so many people I would like to thank but I would be here all day so the two main people I would like to say thank you to are firstly my parents for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to race and Jettribe for sponsoring me! Over the five days of racing the Jettribe crew became family to me. They have got to be some of the funniest and nicest people I have ever met. Even when everything was against me and I wasn’t doing that well they didn’t turn there back on me or leave me behind instead they stuck by my side, encouraged me and cheered me on even if I was coming last. One of the hardest things was saying good bye to them, I can’t wait to see them later in the year for some more great racing and good memories.

When we were learning the course I was having second thoughts about racing I didn’t know if I could actually do it or if I was even good enough to but with all the support I had from back in Australia, everyone in Thailand and especially my dad I thought why not give it a try, I’m so glad my dad pushed me as hard as he did. Racing at the King’s Cup has given me so many more opportunities to further my race career. During my time I met so many awesome people that I have formed great friend relationships with I really miss everyone so much.

Thank you again to everyone who helped my dad and I out! We have come back to Perth Australia with so many good stories to tell. I must say I didn’t have the best of luck over in Pattaya with the ski not working properly and me getting really sick that I ended up throwing up in my helmet I still would NOT change a thing, I had so much fun and learnt a lot anyway, I went over there for the experience not to win. This trip I learnt that no matter how many things go wrong or don’t work just keep smiling and laughing. Bring On 2013! Written By Jamie-lee Spence #118

Thank you from Jettribe!

Flashback to 2009 Parker, AZ during a local West Coast jetski race. A small company named Jettribe decided to take their product on tour. They loaded up their 20 foot trailer with t-shirts, boardshorts, goggles and some tour coats, found their spot at the event, put up their little 10x20 tent and.....crickets. Jettribe? Who are these guys?

Fast forward a mere 2 years later at the 2011 IJSBA World Finals at Lake Havasu. Jettribe rolled in on their 36 foot stacker trailer and 100 foot tent, with all the latest and greatest for PWC racing, like the new RS-16 Race Vest with Back Protector, the new watercraft specific Carbon 7 Race Helmet, and the already favorite Moto Tour Jackets and Race Pants. Not only was Jettribe a visible powerhouse anchoring Vendor Alley, but more than half the racers were sporting Jettribe gear. What a difference 2 years makes.

Jettribe was established in 1996, but it wasn't until 2009 when Jettribe decided to go back to its racing roots and take it on the road. Sales from the very first tour stop didn't even cover the gas it cost to get there, but it wasn't about the money. Jettribe has always been and always will be about the sport. It's reflected in the quality and functionality of gear that we put out there for the PWC enthusiast. We must be doing something right because 2011 was the biggest growth in sales from any previous year for Jettribe.

While Jettribe is enjoying much success, we're not about to blow it all on the bling. No new whips with spinners for us. No baller vacations just yet. And no loitering in the VIP of the LA club scene. Instead, Jettribe is putting that money right back into what we do best. How about more product to meet demand? 2012 is already looking like it's going to blow the doors off 2011. How about putting that back into racing with an IJSBA sanctioned West Coast tour? How about ditching our warehouse of 15 years and purchasing a 5 acre piece of America (SoCal no less) so we can build a bigger warehouse for starters on the future Jettribe Campus?

So from all of us at Jettribe, we'd love to thank all our buyers and distributors domestic and overseas for bringing Jettribe to all parts of the world, and to all you riders and fans who put the demand out there for them. Jettribe wouldn't be where we are today without all of you. So keep on riding, and we'll keep doing what we do best for you!
