DIGEST TeXtreme is based on spreading tows (yarns) into tapes that are weaved into a fab- ric that is much thinner than conventional carbon fiber fabrics, with straighter fibers that optimize and strengthen the composite while delivering lighter weight. "By creating a hull that is lighter and at the same time stiffer makes a totally new unit in terms of riding. The weight savings achieved from using the TeXtreme Technology is unri- valed by any other carbon fiber material out there," said Rick Roy, founder and owner of Rickter-RRP. Rickter is now offering reinforcement with TeXtreme as an option for 2016 on the EDGE FS, EDGE FR, XFS and RC-1. The 2016 XFS NINJA Competition comes with TeXtreme only. Rickter also designs and manufactures TeXtreme-reinforced exhaust chambers, hood scoops, ride plates and flow guards. In addition to the use of TeXtreme in personal watercraft, its innovative technol- ogy is applied in Formula 1, NASCAR and America's Cup racing; in the manufacture of bicycles, golf shafts, tennis racquets, surf- boards, rowing shells, skis and snowboards; and in various industrial and advanced aero- space applications. WAVERUNNER RACERS SWEEP P1 AQUAX PRO OPENER Yamaha WaveRunner racers prevailed over rough surf and tough competition to finish 1-2-3 at the P1 AquaX pro opener held April 23-24 in Daytona Beach, Fla. Yamaha FX SVHO rider Chris Mac- Clugage led the Yamaha contingent to finish first overall in the Pro Enduro class with FZR rider Aero Aswar and FX SVHO rider Brian Baldwin finishing 2-3 respectively. Pro racing action was shortened Saturday when rough surf created hazardous conditions for the 25-plus pro riders navigating the tight P1 AquaX race course. The surf was so rough at times that the ride plate was shaken loose from several of the competing brands' watercraft. On Sunday, the race course was length- ened and moved further offshore, making the course more manageable and top speeds much faster. By the end of Moto 3, the reli- ability and durability of the Yamaha FZR and FX SVHO proved too much for the competition, many of whom did not finish Moto 1 on Saturday, thus taking them out of the overall picture. Congratulations to Dean's Team, Broward Motorsports, Riva Motorsports and the family and friends that support Yamaha PWC racing. The next P1 AquaX race for the profes- sional riders is July 2-3 in Sarasota, Fla.
