Titles on the record (5)

Each read off a results document the archive holds: a result sheet, or, for a season's title, the body's own champions grid or season table, with the name as that document prints it.

Results

2015 · Confirmed

At the 2015 World Finals he won Endurance and GP Runabout, winning both motos in each, on a machine coded KAW with race number 66. The same results list him third in Runabout Open Slalom, seventh in Pro-Am Runabout LTD, 12th in Pro Runabout and 15th in Pro-Am Runabout Stock.

Sources: 2015 World Finals results

2017 · Confirmed

At the 2017 World Finals he won Pro Runabout, second in the first moto and first in the second. The association's results code his machine YAM in that class and KAW in the three other classes they list him in that weekend: seventh in Runabout Open Slalom, 11th in GP Runabout and 18th in Endurance Runabout Open.

Sources: 2017 World Finals Sunday results; 2017 World Finals Saturday results

2016 · Likely

The final results of the Jettribe European Jetski Championship in Poland, 13 to 17 July 2016, list Mohammed Ibrahim Burbayea of KWT (Kuwait), number 66, first in RUN PRO GP on 199 points, with wins in two of the four motos.

2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 · Likely

Each of the four sheets used on this page prints race number 66 beside the name, with Kuwait: the 2015, 2017 and 2018 World Finals results and the 2016 European championship's RUN PRO GP table. That number and country are how this page reads those rows as one rider, which is the archive's inference.

Recognition

Likely

Guinness World Records lists him as the holder of its record for the most IJSBA World Championship wins by a man, giving 28, won between 2007 and 2024, in an entry dated 20 December 2024. That is the record book's count, not one read off sheets here, and the record page gives no list of the wins it counted (read 2026-10-05). The record names Mohammed Burbayea of Kuwait; reading it as this rider rests on the name and country.

What the archive has not read (6)

• Of the World Finals years Guinness's span covers, 2007 to 2024, the archive holds result sheets only for 2008, 2015 and 2017 and for parts of 2018 and 2019, and he is listed under this name on those of 2015, 2017 and 2018. Accounts of world titles in other years cannot be read off held sheets (checked 2026-10-05 against the sheets held for 1999, 2004, 2008, 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019 and the 2013 entry list).
• The archive holds no 2024 World Finals sheet (searched the archive's mirror and research cache, 2026-10-05), so 2024 is not on this page.
• The association's champions page does not print his name. It prints a differently spelled family name (Burabee) for Expert Runabout 1200 Ltd in 2012, and the 2008 results print that spelling in three amateur runabout classes. Neither prints a race number and the 2008 hometown column drifts, so none of those rows is merged (checked 2026-10-05).
• The association's 2013 class list, which records entries and not results, has a MOHAMMAD BURBAYEA entered in nine classes. No race number can be read for him there, so the entries are not used (checked 2026-10-05).
• The 2016 Nysa sheet also lists a Mohammed Ibrahim Burbayea of KWT second in Runabout Limited Pro-Am with number 5, not 66, so that row is not merged with him (checked 2026-10-05).
• No held text names his machine other than the sheets' own maker codes (checked 2026-10-05).
