History Of The Site
I've been passionate about offshore riding for twelve years and can't seem to get enough. So what is the origin of the pwcoffshore.com site and how did it start? I was talking to a good riding friend about the various PWC related websites and their modification and race related content. I had an epiphany that none of them addressed the unique nature of offshore endurance riding and racing. Although almost all of the sites were great reads and full of community, none of them focused exclusively on content that would assist the offshore rider and racer. We found that most of the sites focused exclusively on closed course racing and or lake riding, there was almost nothing related to offshore riding or endurance racing. The next day I bought a domain and spent a few weekends creating content and the site was born. Since then, we have had hundreds of thousands of hits. The origin of the content is based on my many years of offshore riding and soliciting feedback from many extremely experienced offshore riders and racers such as John Belton and Mark Gerner, among many others. We've used the Catalina Island run as the basis for many of our observations simply because we ride the Catalina run almost every weekend.
PWCOFFSHORE.com is part of PWCOFFSHORE Watercraft Racing and Promotions, Inc.
Our PWCoffshore Team athletes have years of experience in endurance racing and offshore PWC riding. A few have also completed marathons and other crossover sports. We are not limited to a finite group of riders! We solicit feedback from all offshore US National and International riders and consolidate their feedback on this site. Have you differentiated yourself in offshore or endurance riding? If so, then we want your tips, input and feedback! Collectively our knowledge and experience will continue to inspire others and invest in the future of offshore and endurance riding. Please join us on this adventure! Our original group of pioneering riders have challenged the Pacific Ocean waters year round in variable weather and water conditions. These collective experiences have made our group of aggressive offshore riders extremely effective endurance and offshore pilots. We have made hundreds of successful, fast and safe runs to Santa Catalina Island and back to the mainland due to our focused training and practices. Mark Gerner of PWCOFFSHORE has completed the Long Beach to Catalina run in excess of 165 times. John Belton, 500 round trips. Each transit is approximately 60 miles roundtrip into open Pacific waters in one of the most dangerous channel crossings in the world. Our team trains year round in Southern California and Florida. Our personal apparel is proven through grueling trials, we understand function and reliability better than any other type of riders. We are highly tuned into the unique characteristics of our Personal Watercraft hull configurations, pump set ups and horsepower capabilities, matched with WOT applications! (Wide Open Throttle). Our team has tuned their offshore race boats for intense conditions, and we run our boats in the harshest ocean waters. This approach to extreme PWC riding enables us to focus on successful outings and a strong competitive presence.
The equipment we use is the fastest and most reliable PWC's and accessories currently on the market, we depend upon our gear. We operate in the harshest ocean conditions requiring a completely different approach to maintenance, racing and endurance riding & offshore racing. If our riding methodology and gear makes it in this environment, it will likely do well in standard riding conditions. Welcome to our site! We want to hear from you!
