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.

2016 · Likely

The Watercraft Journal's report of the 2016 Daytona Freeride, held on Daytona Beach from 14 to 17 January 2016, says the Surf 'n Style competition was held on the Saturday and, in its account of the result, puts Zack Bright second. It is a magazine's report, not a result sheet, and no sheet is held (searched the archive's mirror and research cache, 2026-10-18).

Riding outside a race

2014 · Likely

A recap by the gear company Jettribe of the 2014 Thrust Innovations Daytona Freeride in Florida, posted by the International Jet Sports Boating Association (IJSBA) on 23 January 2014, names Zack Bright among the riders who put on a show there. It is a company's account, relayed by the association. That he is the rider of the 2016 contest is the archive's reading, from the name and the Daytona Freeride, an inference.

2015 · Likely

A photo caption in the Journal's report of the 2015 Daytona Freeride, held from 15 to 18 January 2015, says Zack Bright maneuvered through the surf and made his Krash Industries ski fly. Linking this caption to the other reports is again the archive's reading from the name and the Krash ski, an inference.

What the archive has not read (1)

  • The Watercraft Journal's post of March 2014 introduces a video interview with him as a professional freerider with several sponsors, and a Krash Industries team video of the 2016 Daytona Freeride follows him as a team rider. One is the magazine's introduction to his own interview and the other his sponsor's, so neither is stated here as a fact.
