Jim Crossley (Speed)

Jim is a quiet character, which masks his steely determination when flying mac 10 on his slalom or speed board. He is also a real technician who analysis his technique and equipment constantly to ensure he is getting the maximum speed from every run and is happy to share this information on his Blog. This determination and attention to detail has given Jim this year some of his best speed results.

He won the Southend Speed Weekend with an incredible 44.29 knots over 500m the fastest of the year and second fastest of all time by a British man on British waters. A fantastic result as Jim is normally a 10 second (Shorter distance) GPS specialist. He then went on from this great result to enter the ISWC European Championships in Fuerteventura run by Bjorn Dunkerbeck. Finishing 8th overall and highest placed Brit. Jim is also on the National team for Fanatic, North and Moo customs.
