What changed

Every correction and addition recorded in a page's dated change notes, newest first: racing history chapters, machine history articles, Words and Culture pieces, model timelines, games, films and Key Figures pages. 68 of the 185 records that can carry a change note have one; the rest have not moved since they were written, or moved before the notes existed.

To be told of the next one, follow the Atom feed of these notes in a feed reader.

  • Bela Czeller (Key Figures) · The 2004 election claim said no UIM document naming him was held. The UIM's yearbook of February 2010 lists a Bela Czeller of Hungary on its International Aquabike Commission, so that sentence was replaced with what the UIM's own commission page of July 2004 shows, and the 2010 listing was added as its own claim. The same day, the UIM's yearbook of May 2019, which names him president of the Hungarian Jet Sports Federation, was added as a claim. The gap on his federation posts now says it is about the Hungarian federation's own books and names the 2019 yearbook.
  • Billy Womack (Key Figures) · Removed the Long Beach to Catalina and Back wins of 1997, 1999 and 2001 and the 2005 Mark Hahn win, which rested on the site's winners lists rather than a result sheet; the significance now gives his 2006 placing.
  • Bruce Stjernstrom (Key Figures) · Added the association's 1997 tour release, which quotes him as IJSBA Managing Director on the tour's venues, its event organisers and television. The sentence on his title now lists the three titles the documents print, and the gap on his posts names them and their dates.
  • Clayton J. Jacobson (Key Figures) · The held face of US 3,369,518 now gives its nine claims, so only the claim count of 3,826,220 is still unconfirmed.
  • Craig Warner (Key Figures) · Reworded a gap that named him for four later Long Beach to Catalina races from the race's winners list alone; it now says only that no later result sheet is held.
  • Csaba Gerencser (Key Figures) · The third gap said no held federation list named his posts after 2006. The UIM's yearbooks of May 2019 and June 2026, now held, list the Hungarian Jet Sports Federation's officers with him as a vice president and then as president, so the gap was scoped to the federation's own books, the two listings were added as claims, and the 2026 post links the 2021 to 2026 era.
  • Cyrille Lemoine (Key Figures) · Removed a gap that named a 2017 Long Beach to Catalina winner from the race page's winners list.
  • Endurance and offshore, by the rule book (Racing)
    • Corrected 2026-10-09: the chapter said the 2008 press release on the Havasu race's founding and promoters was not located; it is held, as the co-promoters' announcement of 20 March 2008, and is now cited. It gives a fifth running in 2009 and a death in 2004, names two people as co-promoters rather than two companies, and prints no founding year.
    • Corrected 2026-10-09: the chapter said no race instruction from any year was held; the IJSBA's 2017 rules for the Havasu race are, and now give that race's starts. The naming reason in the held-back claims now states the archive's rule for naming people instead of an internal plan step, and unpublished notes are called that.
  • Erki Laiakask (Key Figures) · The 2015 Baltic Championship total is no longer listed as a title, because that table prints no organising body; the result stays as a claim. The 2013 and 2016 Baltic tables name the federations that ran them and stay as titles.
  • Homologation, from race part to retail part (Racing) · Corrected 2026-10-09: the definitions paragraph had said a part sold as a replacement is legal wherever an OEM part is required, and that a part changing performance is legal only in a class whose list names it. No IJSBA book read says either; the 2002 and 2014 glossaries define the two kinds of part and say nothing of where they are legal, so the sentence now says that.
  • Kim Bushong (Key Figures) · Removed two sentences that rested on the race's winners list alone, one naming Kim Bushong for 2010 and one giving 2008 to the rider printed first on the 2008 sheet. Both results stand on their own sheets.
  • Larry Rippenkroeger (Key Figures) · The owner's answer on the advertisements: the significance line now leads with the 1988 magazine's results lines read as 1987 World Finals results, not with Arai's credit. Both advertisement claims are kept, attributed and moved after the results. Arai's 1986 credit is now contested against the association's champions page, which gives its 1986 Pro Ski entry to David Gordon. Extrude Hone's 1982 stays likely, as no held document contradicts it.
  • Mike Follmer (Key Figures)
    • Added the race's own releases of 2005 to 2007, which name him a co-promoter of the 2006, 2007 and 2008 Mark Hahn races, and made the absence sentence on 2006 name the Long Beach to Catalina race, since a release naming the 2006 Mark Hahn race's co-promoters is now held.
    • Removed the 2005 Mark Hahn win that the results page's winners list gives him and a partner; the gap now gives only the hall's own credit, which names no year.
  • Mike Klippenstein (Key Figures) · Removed a gap that named a Mike Klippenstein for two Long Beach to Catalina races from the race's winners list alone.
  • Shawn Alladio (Key Figures)
    • Added the IJSBA's 2006 World Finals staff list naming her Safety Director and its 2005 post listing her on the Safety Committee, with the organiser role and the link to the 1985 to 2005 era, and corrected the sentence that said no IJSBA document held names a safety post for her.
    • Removed the race page's yearly list of the first woman across the line (2004, 2008 and 2009), which is a list of who finished first rather than a result sheet, and with it the link to the 1985 to 2005 era.
  • The IJSBA and the World Finals (Racing) · Corrected the founding section's account of the 1980 notice. It shows the U.S. Jet Ski Boat Association had chosen a site for its 1980 southern national championships, an announcement made before the event, so the section no longer says the predecessor raced in 1980, and the 2026-10-08 note no longer says it ran national championships.

  • Chris MacClugage (Key Figures) · Removed the 2002 Long Beach to Catalina and Back win, which rested on a winners list rather than the race's result sheet.
  • The IJSBA and the World Finals (Racing)
    • The founding section takes in period print found in a search of 1980s sources for the Key Figures pages and held here as text since 2026-10-08: an Alabama weekly of August 1980 showing the U.S. Jet Ski Boat Association scheduling its southern national championships, a Cycle Guide feature of February 1985 naming the association, now the oldest dated print of its name found, and two Virginia Beach newspaper pieces of 1990, one saying it was formed in 1982 and was in its ninth season. That section stays contested, with 1982 now the earliest dated account; the first-Finals section adds the 1990 season count; the first gap and the paper trail no longer call the November 1986 brief the oldest print or say nothing is held for 1985 to 1998.
    • The founding section adds the association's 1991 Encyclopedia of Associations entry, which gives founded 1982, held as search highlights since the Key Figures set 4 deploy of 2026-10-08.

  • Aqua Glide (2024) (Games) · The row is now contested, because the live Meta store page names Raxsam Games as developer while an earlier copy of the same page names Horizon Forge Limited.
  • Aqua Jet (1996) (Games) · The platform was corrected from Namco System 22 to Namco System Super 22, as the HAMSTER re-release page and the MAME driver both print.
  • Aqua Moto Racing 2 (2010) (Games) · The platform now reads iOS, later Android, because the 2010 release was iPhone only and the Android version came from Zordix afterwards.
  • Aqua Moto Racing 3D (2013) (Games) · Japan 2014 was dropped from the region because the Nintendo Life page it was taken from lists only the European and North American releases.
  • Aqua Moto Racing Utopia (2016) (Games) · The expansion's rider is now described as the publisher does, a famous rider, not a world champion.
  • Bill Chapin (Key Figures) · The first gap no longer says the magazine's highlights leave the event unnamed: further highlights of the same 1988 issue show it reporting the 1987 IJSBA World Finals and placing the full results in its Racing Review, so the gap now names that event as the archive's reading. The result is still not used, because nothing but the name ties that rider to this page.
  • Glen Dilworth (Key Figures) · Names his partner, Don Moyle, where the documents print the name, now that Don Moyle has his own record. Claim 2 now says, as Don Moyle's record does, that the 1990 date is the company's account and that the Times-News item is a photo caption, and 1990 no longer shows on the record year by year, since it rests only on the company's page.
  • Incredible Sunday [No. 15] (1989) (Films) · Both credits now read executive producer, as the UCLA record prints them, in place of producer.
  • Jeff Jacobs (Key Figures) · Jeff Jacobs's page now grades the 1996 magazine's description of him as a Pro Ski world and national champion likely, not confirmed, because it rests on that one magazine.
  • Jet Bike Simulator (1987) (Games) · The note said two years before anyone else; the next title in this table is five years later, and it now says so.
  • Jet Blaster (2021) (Games) · The note now says the year is the Western distribution year, because Arcade Heroes prints no ship date.
  • Jet Ski Fever (1984) (Films) · The second credit now reads executive producer, as the DVD page prints it, in place of producer.
  • Jet Ski Mania Aqua Rush (2023) (Games) · North America was added to the region from the Nintendo US eShop page, and the grade rose to confirmed on the two Nintendo store pages.
  • Jet Ski Rush (2020) (Games) · Europe returned to the region from the Nintendo UK eShop page, which lists the same release day as North America.
  • Jet Wave, released as Wave Shark in some regions (1996) (Games)
    • The platform was corrected to Konami ZR107 hardware with the GTI Club graphics board, as the MAME driver prints, and the European build was noted without restoring Europe to the region.
    • The platform now names the ZR107 hardware as arcade, as Next Generation prints the format, so it counts among the arcade cabinets.
  • Jetracer (2001) (Games) · The eight riders are now credited to PSXDataCenter, since the publisher's own description says only a variety of characters.
  • Kawasaki Caribbean Challenge (1993) (Games) · The licensor was named from the GameTek manual, Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A., so the grade returned to confirmed and the sentence saying no signing entity had been found was removed.
  • Kawasaki Jet Ski (2008) (Games) · The European release month was cut because no held text prints it, and the IGN score now reads 2 out of 10 as the held review prints it.
  • Kawasaki JetSki Story 1975 (1975) (Films) · The note no longer says the only known copy is a dealer's 2008 upload, which no cited source supports, and the reel is now marked rights holder not asked.
  • Ken Stuart (Key Figures) · Reworded "pair of names" to "two names" in claims 2 and 3.
  • Lee Stone (Key Figures) · Lee Stone's page adds his 2015 World Cup Pro Freestyle title, read off the organiser's result sheet, which lists him first; it had appeared only as a hall of fame entry among the gaps.
  • Sea-Doo Hydrocross (2001) (Games)
    • The developer is now Vicarious Visions alone, because Engine Software is credited only on the Game Boy Color build; the grade dropped to likely because no held text names Bombardier, and the leak, print review and rating claims were cut as unheld.
    • The licensor no longer names Bombardier, which no cited source prints; the held texts say only that the Sea-Doo craft are licensed.
  • Sound and off-throttle steering (Racing) · The sound and steering chapter now says under its banner that the BaddJet shop sells Factory Pipe parts, because Personal Watercraft Illustrated's May 1996 Factory Pipe test, cited in the IJSBA sound rule section, carries the maker's name.
  • Splashdown (2001) (Games) · The licensor was renamed to Bombardier Recreational Products as Infogrames' release prints it, and Japan was added to the region from the MobyGames release list.
  • Splashdown: Rides Gone Wild (2003) (Games)
    • The cancelled Xbox version and the mobile port sentences were cut because no held text prints them, and the UK title was added from Eurogamer.
    • Australia came off the region, because no cited source names it.
  • Surf Rocket Racers, sold in Japan as Power Jet Racing 2001 (2001) (Games) · The year moved from 2000 to 2001 and the region was rewritten, because every medium source dates the release to 2001 and only a fan retrospective says late 2000 in Europe; the developer is named as the reviews and MobyGames print it.
  • The aftermarket: exhaust pipes and engine parts (Racing) · Corrected the 1982 Coffman's sentence, which said the advertisements of 9 June 1982 named no watercraft: the same issue, and 87 others, carry a Coffman's classified for Jet Ski pipes, which the held excerpt had left out. The section also names Gary Coffman, who has a Key Figures record since the third set, as Cycle News named him in 1992. The section on ADA Racing, Jetinetics and Hot Products now dates its search and says that two outside listings, not held, give founding years it does not use.
  • The aftermarket: hulls, rule books and closures (Racing) · The hull makers section now names Nick Barton, who has a Key Figures record since the third set, as The Watercraft Journal named him in March 2017. The page now says under its banner that the BaddJet shop sells Factory Pipe parts, because Personal Watercraft Illustrated's May 1996 Factory Pipe test, cited in the section on what each tier let in, carries the maker's name.
  • The aftermarket: pumps, plates, mats and the registers (Racing) · The impeller and traction mat sections now name Greg Pickren, CJ Lammers and Arno Olbricht, and the grates and patents sections name Don Moyle, who have Key Figures records since the third set; the mat section adds the reported sale of Hydro-Turf in October 2020 and the 2013 feature that also names Jet Strip. The page now says under its banner that the BaddJet shop sells RIVA Racing parts, because a BRP patent cited in the grates and patents sections lists a Riva Yamaha race grate among its references.
  • The aftermarket: shops, dealers and the teams they ran (Racing) · The Florida dealer section now names Steve Bamdas, Lynn Bamdas and Dave Bamdas, who have Key Figures records since the third set, and adds the 2023 report's 1993 race budget as a third dating of the factory team. The two teams section no longer prints a 2002 Long Beach to Catalina win from the PWCOFFSHORE winners roll: MACC Racing is placed beside Chris MacClugage by the 2010 World Cup result table alone, and the caveat no longer lists a winners roll.
  • The IJSBA and the World Finals (Racing)
    • The Watercraft Journal article of 29 October 2020 is now held as text, captured 2026-10-07, and the two sections that cite it follow its words. Its writer has the association hit the ground running in 1981, culminating in the first-ever World Finals, and gives no year for that Finals, where this chapter had said the article placed the first Finals in 1981; its 40th for 2021 is the association's own announcement, quoted, after what the association calls the 39th consecutive Finals in 2020. The first-Finals section stays confirmed, the founding-year section stays contested, and the article's source row now points at the capture.
    • The World Finals chapter now says under its banner that the BaddJet shop sells Skat-Trak parts, because the association's 2001 fact sheet, cited in the section on the first Finals, names Skat-Trak as the event's title sponsor.
  • The manufacturers, 1985 to 2005 (Racing) · The manufacturer chapter now says under its banner that the BaddJet shop sells Factory Pipe parts, because Personal Watercraft Illustrated's December 1998 Factory Pipe test, cited in the section on what no held document settles, carries the maker's name.
  • Wave Race (1992) (Games)
    • The developer was reworded to Pax Softnica for Nintendo, because the held MobyGames records credit Pax Softnica as the developer company and no held text names Nintendo EAD.
    • The region read North America only, then Europe in 1997, which contradicted itself; it now gives both years.
  • Wave Race 64 (1996) (Games)
    • The covered line now says what the manual prints, the claim about hull wordmarks and trackside banners was dropped as unheld, and the revision sentence was reworded to what AUTOMATON reports.
    • On the owner's word, the note calls Wave Race 64 the best-known of the genre in place of its high point, which ranked it.
  • Wave Race: Blue Storm (2001) (Games) · Australia was dropped from the region as unheld, and the note was cut back to what Nintendo Life reports, with the 2009 and handlebar details attributed to Unseen64.
  • Wave Rally, sold as Jet Ski Riders in some regions (2001) (Games)
    • The licensor was named from the Eidos manual, Kawasaki Motors (UK) Ltd., Australia and South Korea returned to the region from MobyGames, and the wetsuit and cancelled-Xbox claims were cut as unheld.
    • The developer now reads Opus Corporation as the sources print it, in place of Opus Studio.
  • Wave Runner (1996) (Games)
    • The developer moved from Sega AM1 to Sega, because the held texts, including the public Museum of the Game pages, name only Sega; the flyer, hydraulic cabinet and Japanese flyer credit sentences were cut because no held text prints them.
    • A note sentence calling Yamaha branding the only record of the licence was cut, because the licence line also cites the Museum of the Game.
  • Wave Runner GP (2001) (Games)
    • The covered line and the note now say what Sega's owner's manual prints, Yamaha stickers on the cabinet, in place of a consultation claim no held text prints.
    • The region is now North America alone, the only region a held source documents, in place of Japan, Europe and North America.

  • Freestyle as a discipline in the rule books (Racing)
    • Two blocked entries narrowed after a search of the held texts. The purchase-condition entry had said no held IJSBA text mentions a purchase condition on any model; the low-volume homologation route, HOM.5.2.a and its 2010 to 2015 forms, has the maker report each purchaser and lets the IJSBA broker up to 25 percent of the units to competition members, so the entry now says no text makes membership a condition of buying. The freeride entry had said no IJSBA book mentions the tour; the 2010 to 2014 books and the 2015 draft name a freeride promoter in their United States directory and freeride activities in their release, so the entry now says no book gives the tour's start or origin.
    • Two gaps corrected after a search of the held results and federation texts. The results gap had said no entry count, result or points table for any freestyle championship was read; freestyle result sheets are held, among them the Hungarian federation's 2005 standings with a free style sheet, the IJSBA Europe 2012 page with Amateur and Pro Freestyle European Championship classes, and IJSBA World Finals sheets from 1999, so the gap now lists what is held. The pre-2002 gap now records that the Hungarian federation's 2005 foreword names a free-style category at the 1997 UIM world championship, which shows the discipline existed by then and does not date its start.
  • Homologation, from race part to retail part (Racing)
    • Two hull programme sentences narrowed after a search of the held class documents. The gap had said nothing read says what became of the programme after 2024; the 2025 Ski Grand Prix document still requires approval through it at SKGP.2.2, so the gap now says so and keeps only the absence of any homologated hull. The blocked programme entry had said nothing held shows the 2018 identification system operating; the 2023 Ski Modified document requires IJSBA recognised hull identification numbers and speaks of previously approved hulls, so the entry now says that and keeps only the absence of a named hull or of the records.
    • Later the same day the hull programme was corrected against the IJSBA's own aftermarket hull posts of 4 September to 1 October 2024, now held. The chapter had said nothing showed any hull homologated under the programme; the posts of 30 September 2024 announce five, the Bullett V6, Kommander GP1, VK Composites Hyperion and Fast Powersports GP1R and GP16, and the report of 1 October 2024 says seven entities applied. The gap, the blocked programme entry and the hull section now say so, and the 10 June 2019 bulletin's statement that no hull was then approved is added.
  • Sound and off-throttle steering (Racing)
    • The federal definitions section had said no racing book held here defines the craft as the Park Service rule does. The 2002 IJSBA book's 5.2 and the UIM 2026 book's 500.01 both define a personal watercraft as a vessel using an inboard engine powering a water-jet pump as its primary source of motive power, with no length, so the sentence now says that and cites both.
    • Personal Watercraft Illustrated of May 1996 quotes the 1996 book's sound rule, 9.1.16, as 86 dB(a) at 50 feet, against 22.86 metres in the books from 2002. The IJSBA sound section now says so and cites the magazine, and its sentence that the distance never moved is scoped to the books from 2002 onward.
  • The IJSBA and the World Finals (Racing) · The section on the founding year and the first Finals is now two sections, and the first Finals moves from contested to confirmed. Every count read gives 1982, the 2001 fact sheet's 20th Annual, the About page, the 2020 article's own 40th for 2021 and the 45th for 2026, with a 2020 result sheet in the capture index showing that the 2020 running took place; the 1981 date for a first Finals is one sentence of the 2020 article. What the sources disagree on is when the association itself began, and that section stays contested and now prints the 2025 Vintage Ski rules' 1970s beside the article's 1981. The standfirst, plain summary and first gap follow, and this site's IJSBA organisations row says the same.
  • The manufacturers, 1985 to 2005 (Racing) · The sentence that factory team roles are absent was narrowed after a search of the held texts. Personal Watercraft Illustrated of December 1998 names a 1997 Yamaha factory racing team and a Team Kawasaki in passing, and a 2008 forum post credits Kawasaki with the first factory-supported race team in 1995; the sentence now says both, that no held document confirms the forum's claim, and that none records what a factory team did.

  • Etiquette, as the rulebooks and press record it (Words and Culture) · The sections resting on the IJSBA scoring document cite its 2025 edition, numbered SCOR, which the rule book page links beside the August 2018 text this page first read on 30 September 2026. Neither file prints a year; the 2025 one dates from 11 February 2025. This was listed under what the page leaves out until today, where it did not belong: it records which edition the page rests on rather than something missing from it.

  • Etiquette, as the rulebooks and press record it (Words and Culture) · The IJSBA scoring citations moved to the document's 2025 edition, numbered SCOR, held on 2 October 2026 beside the August 2018 text the sections had cited two days earlier, with the rules cited and the facts stated unchanged.
  • Freestyle as a discipline in the rule books (Racing) · Until 2026-10-02 the blocked first-backflip claim still said no held rule book names a trick, a sentence the first entry above had already withdrawn for the IHRA overview. Re-checked on 2026-10-02 against the held texts: the UIM 2026 text's rule 312.03 names backflips, barrel rolls, 180s and helicopters as examples in its judging criteria (its Hydro-Fly section prices named tricks, but that is another discipline), and the UIM 2016 edition's freestyle rule names none. The blocked entry now reads that no held IJSBA book names a trick and that no held book credits anyone with one.
  • Homologation, from race part to retail part (Racing)
    • The IJSBA Homologation document and the Aftermarket Hull Homologation guide, which this chapter had read through this site's notes on the sanctioning body, are held as text since the rulebook check of 2 October 2026 and are cited directly; the count, the low-volume route, the worked example and the hull programme read as the record had them.
    • Later the same day: the blocked timing claim had said its sentence waited on a reading of the current Homologation PDF. The document, held as text, was read in full on 2026-10-02; it prints the 90 days before the World Championships at HOM.5.2 point 3 and no bar after the World Finals, so the blocked entry now says so, and the exact-reproduction sentence carries the same check date.
  • How the IJSBA classes changed, 2002 to 2025 (Racing) · The absence claim in the entry above was re-checked on 2026-10-02 against the texts held that day and no longer holds: the current Ski Lites and Four Stroke Ski Lites documents, held as text in the pit box since the rulebook check of 2 October 2026, print at SKL.2.4 and FSKL.2.4 that grates "may not extend more than 11.00mm (0.47 in.) below the flat plane of the pump intake area", and this archive's copy of the 2018 rule-change text prints the same sentence at its 11.2.4. The intake grate paragraph now says so, and the figure the class records had flagged as a conversion conflict is the books' own. The blocked claim on a cause for a class now records the purpose sentences the current class documents open with, which are not a cause.
  • Jetpilot: one logo, two companies (Model Reference)
    • The source links reach the documents themselves where an address answers: the TSDR status page for serial 73597544, the brand's about page, the two IP Australia marks on their own pages, the price-sorted catalogue and the IJSBA champions list, while the two forum threads keep home-page links because both sites refused a reading on 2026-10-02.
    • The privacy-policy link points at the policy text on jetpilot.com that names Sport Dimension, Inc. of Carson, because the page the site's footer now calls Privacy Policy, read on 2026-10-02, is a newer text that names no operating company, and the label says so.
  • Marine Jet, Yamaha's name for the same ski (Model Reference)
    • The note of 2026-10-01 on the 2027 WaveBlaster's horsepower and on-sale date is incomplete rather than the model row wrong: the two Yamaha pages this article cites do not print them, while the model record's row carries 110 hp and a first-quarter 2027 dealer date from Yamaha's own model page for the WB1050A, which that row names and was checked against.
    • Seventy-six issues are indexed, not seventy-seven, which leaves thirty-one of them unread beside the forty-five obtained. A duplicate 1996 row left the index on 2026-10-01 in the correction of its 1996 rows against the magazine's own index pages, and this article's figure had not followed.
    • The first section's heading counts thirty-six years without a home-market WaveRunner, 1986 to the 2022 model year, where it had said thirty-five above a body that already gave both dates.
    • The first section describes the home-market codes as Yamaha's pages print them, one or more letters after the displacement, a hyphenated suffix on the MJ-700VN-R and the export name after MJ on later machines, where it had said two letters for every model family, and it now cites the two dealer magazine issues that index the MJ-700VN-R.
    • The record's span opens in 1986, the year its first section starts, where the card and status line had said 1990.
    • The English address of Yamaha's marine business history redirected to a missing page on 2026-10-02, so the link to it is dropped, a gaps line records the dead address, and the Japanese page carrying the same text is the copy the first section rests on.
    • The naming section lists the eight Japanese-market to export pairings that Yamaha's own cited pages print, where the heading had promised a table the page never showed, and the caveat and gaps count eight pairings rather than four; JDM, VARTM and sponsons are explained at first use.
  • Sound and off-throttle steering (Racing) · Honda's 2003 release was read in full on the live hondanews.com page in a browser on 2026-10-02; the archive address previously recorded had never been captured. The makers section and the fifth gap had said the release was unread and its row held as a record; the section now quotes the release's off-throttle steering sentence and the row is evidence. The makers section moves from likely to confirmed, having been held at likely only because that release was unread; its six rule-book rows graded high meet, on their own, the site's rule that a confirmed section rests on one high-reliability source or two medium ones.
  • The current state: three bodies, 2024 to 2026 (Racing) · The IHRA version check was tried again: on 2026-10-02 a browser reached www.ihra.com/racing/rules and found the page sitting behind a bot check this site's tools do not pass, so the seventh gap records that and the check is still to be made.
  • The IJSBA and the World Finals (Racing)
    • The 2001 fact sheet was read in full in a browser on 2026-10-02 and its row became evidence. The founding section, its contested entry, the caveat and the first gap had attributed the sheet's 20th Annual finding to this site's notes on the organisations and said the capture was unread; each now cites the sheet at first hand, with its History line counting twenty consecutive years. The section stays contested because the trade press still prints 1981.
    • The APBA news page of 2005 was read in full in a browser on 2026-10-02. The rivals section had said the 25 July 2005 notice corrected the date for the 2005 IJSBA rule book and that the sentence was our reading of 17 September 2026; the notice names no body's book, so the sentence now says a rule book adoption date, and the section quotes the page. The rivals section goes from likely to confirmed: it had been held at likely only because that page was unread, and the 2010 IJSBA book and the UIM 2026 book it cites are both graded high, which satisfies the site's rule that a confirmed section rests on one high-reliability source or two medium ones.
  • The Sea-Doo factory era, as far as documents go (Racing) · The Sea-Doo blog post on 1994 was tried again: on 2026-10-02 its address could not be opened in a browser either, navigation denied, so the second gap records that and the post stays unread and cited by no section.
  • Yamaha on its own machines, 2003 to 2009 (Model Reference) · The indexed issues number seventy-six, not seventy-seven, so forty-five obtained leaves thirty-one unread. The index lost a duplicate row on 2026-10-01, when its 1996 rows were corrected against the magazine's own index pages (commit 6b4f321); the note of 2026-09-10 above gave the count as it stood that day.

  • Aqua Moto Racing 3D (2013) (Games) · Japan 2014 was added to the region from Nintendo Life.
  • Aqua Moto Racing Utopia (2016) (Games) · The rider's name and the word "licensed" were removed because no licence has been seen, and the claim that this was the only licence of any kind after 2008 was dropped with it.
  • Jet Bike Simulator (1987) (Games) · The release date and the repackaging wording were added from Spectrum Computing.
  • Jet Blaster (2021) (Games) · The claim that it is the only one still in production was softened, because nothing read supports it.
  • Jet Ski Mania Aqua Rush (2023) (Games) · The publisher was added from Nintendo Life.
  • Jet Ski Rush (2020) (Games) · Europe and Japan were dropped from the region as unsourced.
  • Jet Wave, released as Wave Shark in some regions (1996) (Games) · Europe was dropped from the region as unsourced.
  • Jetpilot: one logo, two companies (Model Reference)
    • The standfirst no longer claims that three statements on the brand's about pages fail checking or that the first backflip has a name; it says the pages are graded against the registers and that what they leave out is the larger part of the story.
    • The first section drops the town of the individual who owned the 1986 registration, places Extreme Sports, Inc. in Carlsbad as the Australian register has it rather than Vista, and no longer asserts a run of 1991 marks that no cited record shows.
    • The founders section lost the sentences resting on an interview and a 2007 profile the article never cited, and now says only that no independent record read confirms the count of four.
    • The backflip section no longer names the rider the 2015 thread converges on, and a gaps line says that name and the 1986 owner's are on the cited pages and withheld until this site has a recorded basis for naming the person.
    • The section on the two Jetpilots lost the 2008 assignment of the United States marks and the scope argument built on it, because the one United States record checked shows the 1986 registration staying with the Japanese company until its 2011 cancellation, and it no longer calls jpihq.com's brand list a distributor list.
    • The closing section lost the uncited podium, buying-guide and athlete-page sentences and the 1990 benchmark line, and now quotes the brand's own price ceilings, wetsuits near four hundred dollars and boards at nine hundred.
    • A gaps line records that the two forum threads the third and fourth sections rest on could not be reached on 2026-10-01 and were not re-read.
  • Kawasaki Caribbean Challenge (1993) (Games) · The grade moved from confirmed to likely because no signing entity has been found.
  • Kawasaki Jet Ski (2008) (Games) · The year moved from 2007 to 2008 against the Wii release dates, and a second IGN quotation was dropped.
  • Marine Jet, Yamaha's name for the same ski (Model Reference)
    • The first section now also cites Yamaha's global history page, whose 1993 entry pairs the WaveBlaster 700 with the Marine Jet 700TZ.
    • The second section dropped a September 1996 date for Yamaha Technical Review No.22 that the cited PDF does not carry, and a sentence on how Japanese riders refer to the TZ and RZ that rested on a forum.
    • The third section dropped a sentence on the Japanese used-parts market that cited nothing.
    • The 2027 WaveBlaster is described as a sit-down, as the original was, where the section had called it a stand-up, and its horsepower, unveiling date and on-sale date were removed because neither cited Yamaha page prints them, with the weight comparison restated as 425 pounds, about 193 kilograms, against roughly 149 for the original.
    • The drifting MJ-700TZ was found on Johnston Atoll by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, which carried it to Honolulu, as Yamaha's page has it, rather than by a survey ship.
    • The Europe section now describes the Turkish and Czech items as short articles in 2005 No.5 rather than contents-page mentions, names Germany's as the only European distributor profile with a personal watercraft figure, cites 2003 No.5 for it, and no longer cites 2007 No.5.
    • The Europe section now counts twenty-five issues of the dealer magazine read in full rather than twenty-one, after four issues nobody had obtained were read at Yamaha's own address.
  • Riptide GP2 (2013) (Games) · PC was added to the platforms.
  • Sea Bikers Jetski (2024) (Games) · The developer name was corrected to the spelling on its Steam page.
  • Sea-Doo Hydrocross (2001) (Games) · The unshipped count moved from four to three, the track count and the craft-name claim were dropped as unsourced, and the developer and licensor were renamed as printed.
  • Splashdown (2001) (Games) · The licensor was renamed from "BRP, then Bombardier" to the entity as it was in 2001.
  • Splashdown: Rides Gone Wild (2003) (Games) · The licensor was renamed from "BRP, then Bombardier" to the entity as it was in 2003.
  • The 30hp problem that shaped the first hull (Model Reference)
    • The second section dropped the word dry from the prototype's sixty five kilograms, which neither Yamaha page qualifies, and now sources the rider height to the global history page's 1.8 m figure.
    • The third section's heading counts ten months from the September 1984 presentation to the July 1985 approval, not eleven.
    • The fifth section no longer calls Sanshin Industries a Yamaha group company, a relationship the cited page does not state.
    • The sixth section counts seven firsts on Yamaha's pages rather than five, adding the 1987 sit-down solo craft and the 1990 reverse drive.
    • The gaps line on power figures now notes that the global history page gives 155 hp for 1999 and 2000 and nothing else after 1986.
  • Wave Rally, sold as Jet Ski Riders in some regions (2001) (Games) · The two named hulls and the Korean and Australian releases were dropped as unsourced, and the covered line now says what PS2Home prints.
  • Wave Runner (1996) (Games) · The grade moved from confirmed to likely because the only record is that Yamaha was consulted; the covered line now says what is credited rather than what was signed, and the developer is named as Sega AM1.
  • What one reference says Sea-Doo did (Model timelines)
    • Seven engine spans were corrected against the page's own year headings, so the white 587 is dropped for 1997 rather than after it, the 657X ends in 1995, the 717 runs to 2005, the silver 947 ends in 2002, the 1494 4-TEC runs to 2019 under the name 1503 from 2018, the 185 hp supercharged 4-TEC runs 2003 to 2006 and the 255 hp 1503 to 2011.
    • Two displacements the page never prints were blanked, the 899cc on the 900 ACE and the Spark and the 1494cc on the 1500 HO ACE, and the 900 ACE row now starts in 2017 with the 60 hp noted as not printed, because the page does not describe the Spark's engine.
    • The 1630 ACE 130 is dated from 2021, where the page first prints it, and the Polytec hull's 2017 to 2019 years are given for the GTS and GTI alone, the Spark's use of it being undated on the page.
    • Five firsts the page claims moved from this record's notes into the attributed lists, the 1990 GT's three seats and reverse, the 1998 800 RFI's fuel injection, the 2006 GTI's non-fibreglass hull, the 2008 trim on a three-seater and the 2024 1630 ACE 325's output, and the engine and hull tables now say the page calls the 1494 4-TEC the first four-stroke, the 800 RFI the first fuel-injected and the GTI composite the first non-fibreglass hull, so none renders as this site's own claim.
    • The 1968 Sea-Doo's first is no longer called mass-produced, a word the page does not use, and the 2005 line counts the XP's run as thirteen years from 1991, as the page does, rather than fourteen.
    • The scope note now gives the page's engine figures by year, 951 for 1997 and 947 from 1998, 1494 for 2002 to 2007 and 1503 from 2008, where it had said the page carried 951 and 1494 outright, and a new caveat lists where the model reference disagrees for the model reference to settle.
  • What Yamaha says its WaveRunners did (Model timelines)
    • The FX1's Marine Jet 700FX code was blanked again, because this record restates one Yamaha page and that page prints no code for the FX1; the join is held in the model reference.
    • The 1997 GP1200's 1200cc was blanked, since the page prints 1200cc once, in its 2003 entry for the engine the GP1300R enlarged, and the caveat on removed numbers now counts nine.
    • The seat counts on the 1990 SuperJet 650 and the 1993 WaveBlaster 700 were blanked, because the page prints no rider count and the 1 had come from the category.
    • The 1992 VXR650 and the 2026 FX Limited SVHO are listed under the names the page heads them with, having been listed as WaveRunner VXR 650 and FX Limited SVHO (40th Anniversary).
    • The WaveRaider 1100, SuperJet 700 and WaveVenture 1100 rows now say the page prints them only as upgraded-with sentences or, for the last, as a Marine Jet code in an essay caption, so those names are this record's.
    • Three firsts were moved into Yamaha's attributed list or reworded in Yamaha's terms, the 1990 reverse drive, the May 2002 low-emission four-stroke and the Auto Trim function, and the 2021 SuperJet's note no longer calls it the first four-stroke SuperJet, a first the page does not claim.
    • The 2012 FX Cruiser HO's NanoXcel hull and the 2022 FX Cruiser HO's and FX HO's natural aspiration were filled from the page's body copy, and the 1898cc carried onto the four 2024 HO rows from the engine entry is kept and disclosed in the caveat.
    • Two caveats were added, one saying stroke is deduced on every row before 2002 from Yamaha's own four-stroke claims and one listing where the model reference disagrees with this page.
    • Three stale caveat figures were corrected, so the 700 and 701 figures sit sixteen years apart rather than twenty, the Marine Jet codes stop with the 1995 WaveVenture 700 and a 1996 caption rather than with the two-stroke era, and the 2027 WaveBlaster is verified against Yamaha Motor Canada's page rather than being the model reference's one row with manufacturer provenance.
  • Yamaha on its own machines, 2003 to 2009 (Model Reference)
    • The changeover section now counts three years from the FX140's spring 2002 release to the eight-model lineup of early 2005, where it had said two.
    • The rescue section no longer cites 2005 No.6, because that issue's body was never read and nothing in the section came from it.
    • The racing section gives the Peru GP1300R's rider by title alone, a six-time IJSBA world champion, because this site names nobody until it has a recorded basis for naming the person, and a gaps line records that the cited page prints the name.
    • The gaps were reworded for what is and is not held, so they now say that every issue before 2003 No.2 carries only Yamaha's index as text, that no copy of the forty-five obtained issues is kept on this site, and that the magazine prints one displacement, 1,812cc in 2007 No.5, where they had called eight issues image-only and the magazine displacement-free.

  • Endurance and offshore, by the rule book (Racing) · Source check against the held books: the 2002 list marks two runabouts endurance-only, not several; the UIM's 394 cm allowance is for Endurance alone; the current general rules name endurance once and are now cited as their own row; the membership document's definition is three sentences; the IHRA endurance class is four-stroke; the withdrawal rule is 318.07; four equipment rules, three of them endurance-only.
  • Etiquette, as the rulebooks and press record it (Words and Culture)
    • The section on codified rules now says the UIM makes deliberate blocking a disqualification or a one-lap penalty at the Race Committee's discretion under article 307.01, which gained a row, where it had put all three books' penalty with a Race Director, and IHRA's list is given as bumping, blocking and striking another rider.
    • The officials section rose from reported to confirmed on the IJSBA scoring document held that day, citing its grounds for discipline, and its UIM sentence now says any abusive or unsportsmanlike behaviour may be penalised, since article 406.03 names no official and fixes no sanction.
    • The protest section rose from reported to confirmed on the held scoring document, citing its thirty-minute window, its 150 to 500 dollar bond and its rule that the rider or the rider's mechanic performs the teardown.
    • In the same protest section the UIM fee is restated as up to 150 euros for any protest plus a 300 euro deposit for a technical one, with costs falling on the losing party, the UIM one-hour row was dropped, and the IHRA teardown sentence is attributed to the post-race inspection rule J.3.3 rather than to the protest procedure.
    • On-course help from anyone but an official may cost a lap rather than costs one, and the IJSBA rule on spin-outs and riding the wrong way is now cited.
    • The pit section says IHRA leashes animals and bars only aggressive ones, where it had said no animals, and adds that a rider may be disciplined for the conduct of the pit crew under the scoring document.
    • The launch-ramp section now says the racing books require one of the industry guidance's three habits, the lanyard under IHRA J.6 and IJSBA GEN.8.9, where it had said they repeat all three, and cites both rulebooks.
    • The Havasu section dropped the relocated bridge and the spectators on both shores, details that rested on this site's research notes alone, and names the freestyle championship final under the bridge as the Saturday evening event.
    • The caveat no longer says that reported sections rest on a document the project has not held, and the gaps record that the scoring document was fetched and held on 30 September 2026.
  • Freestyle as a discipline in the rule books (Racing)
    • Source check against the held books: the 2006 translation's freestyle-only fuel tank rule added; the three Freestyle ONLY rules counted against 2006, since the 2010 book prints six; the IHRA book prints two criteria lists, at C.1.3 and in its glossary; the plain summary and the last section no longer say no book names a trick, since the IHRA overview names three (checked 2026-10-02: the UIM freestyle rule names four, see the later entry).
    • Later the same day: the current IJSBA Freestyle document's opening sentence settled as a closed list against the held text, so the closing section reaches the three current books again and cites the document.
  • Homologation, from race part to retail part (Racing) · Source check against the held books: the 2010 appendix also prints the 200-unit Ski figure, the 2014 and 2015 books alter the restriction clause, the 2006 translation carries fewer of the rule's items than the English books, the 2010 Superstock addendum also drops the aftermarket cylinder clause, and the replacement-part definition lengthened in 2010, not in the current glossary.
  • How the IJSBA classes changed, 2002 to 2025 (Racing) · Source check against the held books: the 2002 Stock part allows boring, replacement pistons and a rebuilt crankshaft; Novice Ski 650 is on the 2002 list; the Four-Stroke Runabout section is in the 2006 translation already; the 2012 book also prints the 200-unit Ski figure and keeps the 500-unit qualifier on the 2012 sponson rule; the 2016 text is split by division, not numbered 6 to 9; no held document printed an 11.00mm grate on 2026-09-30 (corrected 2026-10-02, see the later entry); the 2010 Limited and Open sponson figure; the PSI figures come from the 2021 guide.
  • Sound and off-throttle steering (Racing) · Source check against the documents: the UIM figures come from eight class articles, not 501.01 alone; the EPA preamble's two-stroke sentence is about outboard and watercraft engines generally; the safety study abstract gives one third of the 1997 accidents, not a count of 1,997; the recommendation recipients corrected from the two pages; the Honda release's own qualifier restored; the count of government documents read corrected; a sentence resting on an uncited note of ours removed.
  • The current state: three bodies, 2024 to 2026 (Racing) · Source check: the IJSBA page links thirty-eight PDFs, not twenty-five; all three books print 86 dB(A) and only the UIM distance differs; the IHRA book fixes a few penalties and mentions entry fees without an amount; Wild West Watercross took its first sanction rather than changing one; the sound figures of 90 dB(A) sit in the UIM GP1 rules, not 501.01; three class sections state no limit and Ski Limited inherits one.
  • The IJSBA and the World Finals (Racing) · Source check against the held books and captures: section 3.5's wording restored from the 2002 book; the 2006 translation already lists the APBA alone, which dates the absorption between the 2005 and 2006 books; the 1992 advertisement lists two riders, not one; the Belgian register does hold stopped companies named Eurotour; the capture index tallies seven result sheets, not four; the European organiser's name in the 2014 and 2015 posts.
  • The manufacturers, 1985 to 2005 (Racing) · Source check against the held pages and books: the Yamaha News index carries thirteen racing headlines, not nine; Turkey's first slalom sits in the No.5 issue, not No.2, and the Peruvian entrant is a Yamaha company; Yamaha's page has four racing sentences, not two, and says the WaveBlaster dominated; the Genesis and Virage are on the 2002 list already and Honda has five Aquatrax in 2014; the 2005 translation dates Honda's entry and Tigershark's exit; the two update exceptions are in the Limited parts of 2002 and 2010, not the 2010 Stock part; the FX140 volume that one issue prints; Yamaha's own essay dates the two 1986 and 1987 releases.
  • The Sea-Doo factory era, as far as documents go (Racing) · Source check against the shop's page and the held books: the 2003 four-strokes were the first supercharged Sea-Doos and the RXP the first at 215 horsepower; the X4 hull and SPX end in 1999 on the page; the 2006 translation already lists six of the models the chapter had given to the 2010 book; the SPX range and the SP figures completed from the 2002 list; the EXR exclusion restored; the start year moved to 1991, the earliest year the body dates.
  • What one magazine says Kawasaki did (Model timelines) · The 2016 SX-R 1500 entry now says that Kawasaki Motors, Ltd.'s own history and the US parts catalogue code JS1500AHF both put the machine in 2017, and that the 2016 here is the magazine's.
  • What one reference says Sea-Doo did (Model timelines) · The service note on the iBR and VTS unit names the JetSkiPlus Sea-Doo reference as the source of its price figures rather than calling it the source.

  • What Yamaha says its WaveRunners did (Model timelines) · The 1994 FX1 was given the Marine Jet 700FX code from Yamaha Motor Japan's product history, which lists MJ-700SJ/FX/TL under 1994.

  • Marine Jet, Yamaha's name for the same ski (Model Reference) · The gaps line on the unreadable issues was corrected from eight of twenty-nine issues held to eight of forty-five.
  • What one reference says Sea-Doo did (Model timelines) · The scope note gained the sentence that this page's engine sizes are the publication's own and differ from the model reference's, 951 and 1494 here against 947 and 1503 there, with neither checked against BRP.
  • What Yamaha says its WaveRunners did (Model timelines)
    • Eight displacement figures the page never prints were blanked, 1800 on seven rows of the 1.8 litre family and 1300 on the GP1300R, the 1995 WaveRaider 1100 gained the 1100cc its own note already carried, and the scope note now says where this page's 700, 760 and 1200 differ from the model reference's 701, 753 and 1131.
    • The caveat on hard numbers no longer says every blank column is Yamaha's, because at least one blank was this record's own and eight figures it carried were not Yamaha's either.
  • Yamaha on its own machines, 2003 to 2009 (Model Reference) · The count of Yamaha News issues obtained was corrected from twenty-nine to forty-five of the seventy-seven indexed, which also moved the number not yet read from forty-eight to thirty-two.

  • Marine Jet, Yamaha's name for the same ski (Model Reference)
    • The first section no longer says the home market has never had a WaveRunner; Yamaha's marine business history, now cited, has Marine Jet as the Japanese name from 1986 until the 2022 model year, when the home-market name was unified with the rest of the world.
    • The title was shortened to "Marine Jet, Yamaha's name for the same ski" so the document title fits a search result, and the body did not change.
  • The 30hp problem that shaped the first hull (Model Reference)
    • The account of the September 1984 presentation now follows Yamaha's global history page, which calls the prototype a mixed build of a twenty five horsepower Yamaha engine and a bought-in fifteen horsepower pump that had run well on Lake Hamana, and puts the American failure down to heavy, tall riders unable to get onto a board built to Japanese proportions, replacing the earlier line that the pump could not move them.
    • The section on the 1985 approval now records the 1986 Chicago show and prints both of Yamaha's dates for the first two machines, November 1986 and January 1987 on the global history page against October 1986 and February 1987 on the anniversary site, with gaps added for that disagreement and for the 1930 and 1974 claims the article does not repeat.
  • Yamaha on its own machines, 2003 to 2009 (Model Reference) · The title was shortened from "What Yamaha said about its own WaveRunners, 2003 to 2009" so the document title fits inside a search result, with nothing in the body changed.

What the grades on those pages mean is set out at How we know. A page that is still wrong can be corrected from the page itself.
