History

When Patrick Nassogne first embarked upon the project that was to become the Corona Extra Jetraid in 1998 he never imagined that years later, the event would have acquired such international renown and status.

The first Jetraid started out with 11 pilots and a handful of volunteers - billed as a rally raid adventure on watercraft.The number of participants has increased by 35 % each year since then and the event is now sanctioned by the International Jet Sports and Boating Association (IJSBA) as the World Raid Championship.
