The eras this page's records fall in are drawn solid; the others are hollow.

How we know: Each bar runs the years printed on that era's panel, and which eras a page falls in is the archive's grouping of its records, not the length of anyone's career.

Results

1999 · Confirmed

The 1999 overall results give LISA BARSBY 22.0 points in Overall - Pro-Am Women Ski, eleventh in the class, on a Yamaha, with her country printed UNITED KINGD.

Sources: 1999 World Finals results

1996 · Likely

The event scorer Aquascore's page for Pro-Am Women Ski at the 1996 Skat-Trak World Finals, dated 10/11/96, prints LISA BARSBY, UNITED KINGDOM, make YAM, twelfth in the final with motos of 10 and 13 and third in heat 1, with PRO-TEC first on her sponsor line. PWI's report on the class's qualifying heats names Pro-Tec's Lisa Barsby third in the first heat, which agrees with the Aquascore row on the heat, the place and the sponsor, and is how the archive reads the two as one racer. The Aquascore row is tied to the racer of the 1999 results by the name, the country, the class and the make, which is an inference.

2009 · Likely

The association's Aquascore page 1016 for the 2009 quakysense World Finals prints Lisa Barsby, UK, make HYD, first in the eleventh and the sixteenth sections, which the page's class list makes Amatuer Vets Ski and Masters Ski. The page prints no race number, so the tie to her is the name and the country, an inference.

Sources: 2009 World Finals page 1016

2010 · Likely

On the association's page 1010 for the 2010 World Finals, Lisa Barsby, UK, make HYD, is fourth in the section the page's class list makes Pro-Am Women Ski, a row tied to her by the name, the country and the class, which is an inference.

Organising the sport

2002 · Likely

The affiliate directory in the association's 2002 Official Competition Rule Book lists The Jet Sports Racing Association of Great Britain (JSRA) under UNITED KINGDOM with the line Attn: Lisa Barsby. It names her as the contact and gives no post, and the archive reads the contact as the racer by the name and the country, an inference.

Sources: 2002 rule book

2013 · Confirmed

P1 AquaX's own staff page, as captured on 15 August 2013, names Lisa Barsby as P1 AquaX Championship Manager. The page's note on her, in the series' own words, calls her a jet ski racer who had put her racing aside for a time.

Sources: P1 AquaX People page 2013

2015 · Likely

P1's release of 23 January 2015 announcing a race director for its 2015 AquaX USA series, carried on the association's site, quotes Lisa Barsby as AquaX Championship Manager.

Sources: P1 release Amy Green 2015

2016 · Confirmed

The race instructions for the meeting at Foster Beach, Chicago, on 9 to 11 September 2016, whose cover reads sanctioned by Powerboat P1 Management Ltd and which the association posted on its site, list Lisa Barsby among the key contacts as P1 HEAD OF PWC RACING.

Sources: Race instructions Chicago 2016

2017 · Likely

The Watercraft Journal's report of round 4 of the 2017 P1 AquaX series at Sarasota, Florida, published on 5 July 2017, says Race Director Lisa Barsby cut that weekend's motos from the usual 30 minutes to 25 minutes plus one lap.

Sources: WCJ 5 Jul 2017 P1 AquaX Sarasota

2019 · Likely

The Tribune of Nassau, on 8 November 2019, captions a press conference held the day before at the Atlantis resort to open the P1 AquaX World Championship, naming Lisa Barsby as global head of P1 AquaX and former world champion. The caption gives no class, year or body for the title.

Sources: The Tribune 8 Nov 2019 Atlantis

Likely

The P1 documents print no country and no race number. The archive reads the P1 official and the racer of the World Finals sheets as one person from the full name and P1's own description of her as a racer, which is an inference.

Sources: P1 AquaX People page 2013; 1999 World Finals results

Elsewhere in the archive

What the archive has not read (1)

  • The association's champions page lists a Lisa Barsby, UK, for Pro-Am Women Ski in 2007. The archive holds no 2007 World Finals result sheet (searched the archive's mirror and research cache, 2026-10-19), so no title is recorded here, and the former world champion of The Tribune's caption is left as the paper's words.
