SAN CLEMENTE--May 18, 2004--New Production Igniter 330 PowerSki Jetboard Debut at the Miami Boat Show

PowerSki International Corporation has achieved important business objectives. The debut of our new production jetboard, the PowerSki Jetboard Igniter 330. Creation of new marketing promotional materials, film and brochures displaying our PowerSki Jetboard Igniter 330. Creation of a Production Engineering team to handle the logistics and communications between PSI and our manufacturer.

It’s been five years since we made the “Shape Of Fun To Come” film and management agreed we wouldn’t return to the Miami Boat Show until we had a production ready model, the PowerSki Jetboard Igniter 330, to display at the boat show.

Powerski Jetboard Igniter 330 Marketing Rollout

PowerSki has prepared a fresh new look to introduce the new Igniter 330 PowerSki Jetboard. No longer will the images be of a prototype (beta) PowerSki Jetboard, but are of the actual PowerSki Jetboard that will soon be delivered to the public. Taking advantage of the proximity of Puerto Rico to Miami, we used that tropical paradise setting and its crystal blue waters for a spectacular film, video, and photo shoot. The images we captured are being used in our new promotional film, “Shape Of Fun Is Here”, and new brochure to market the crossover lifestyle of surfing and power surfing utilizing a PowerSki Jetboard.

Powerski Jetboard Igniter 330 Sales Momentum From Miami Boat Show

Additionally Powerski International Corporation has signed new distributors in several more countries as well as new dealers across the US recently. These new members of the PowerSki team will be added to web site in the near future.

The New Revolution is here.

Many of the changes to the PowerSki Jetboard Igniter 330 were accomplished using PTC’s Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire software on Hewlett Packard power work stations. Using their software to create a virtual PowerSki Jetboard in the computer, we were able to produce a completely symmetrical hull that will carve G-Force turns with greater ease and control, and alleviate the “porpoising” effect that a rider can experience when coming out of a tight G-Force turn. We even added a T-handle (pat. pend.) to the nose tip that makes lifting the jetboard much easier. We were also able to reconfigure complex structural forms such as significantly lowering the deck hood’s profile to an almost flat plane. Our inflatable seal has been redesigned to a smaller, yet tighter tolerance, and our snorkel design (pat. pend.), which had stymied our engineers for months, is now functional and effective.

Everything about the new PowerSki Jetboard Igniter 330 has been well worth the wait. Not only is it a work of art, but a dream to ride!

Here’s some of the killer new photos we took, and stay tuned for more photos and a special video coming soon . . . . . .

Wrap-up of PowerSki Jetboard Beta program

The Beta program has been an outstanding success. We sent approximately 100 PowerSki Jetboards to dealers and distributors around the world for testing and promotional purposes. Feedback was received on durability and performance in a wide range of conditions and riders. This information was valuable for finalizing the design of the production board prior to lock down. Lessons learned included the need for beefier gears, improved seals, and a refined hull shape.
