9th June : Mic Randle A Sad Day          (from jetskier.co.uk forum)
Sometimes news comes through that you just don't want to report. This is without doubt the hardest post we've had to put on the Forum.
It is with great sadness indeed that we have to report the passing away this morning of Mic Randle, Waterwise, Swansea.
Mic truly was one of the great characters on the UK's PW scene. Every person who met him will have received a lasting impression as there was no way you could fail to be impressed by the man. A huge character with a heart and sideburns to match.
Mic was widely regarded as the UK's leading authority on PW Safety. As well as running his own RYA Training Centre, contributing to the Magazine and spreading the gospel at Boat Shows Mic was also to be seen co-ordinating the safety at many of the events around the UK. Most recently Mic was assisting Yamaha in their Wavefest tour. It is at events like this I am sure is where many of you will have met him.
Mic leaves behind a loving family and our thoughts go out to Val and the rest of the family. Please be sensitive in their moment of grief and seriously consider the appropriate response. At JS&PW we suggest any messages of condolence be either posted here or forwarded to editor@jetskier.co.uk - they will be forwarded when appropriate.

Mic Randle a friend, colleague and true ambassador for the sport - you will be sorely missed - RIP.

1st June : Stolen Kawasaki Jetski Watercraft
On Friday 30th May at the end of a magazine test, Kawasaki’s demo/press STX-12F was stolen from JB (John Battleday) Waterski near Thorpe Park in Chertsey, Surrey.
The new for 2003, four stroke STX-12F was secured to a Snipe R300T roller trailer and this was locked to a Kawasaki van with a thick chain lock.
Sometime between 4.00pm and 4.20pm on Friday 30th May this chain was removed from the van. The trailer and Jet Ski® Watercraft were then towed away from the lake.
An eye witness report gives the following details :
A badly painted yellow transit style van with double wheels on the rear axle was parked next to the Jet Ski Watercraft .  The occupants were two white males. One of the men got out of the van and tampered with the trailer before removing it from the Kawasaki van and attaching it to their own.  They then drove off with both the Jet Ski Watercraft and trailer.
The details of the Jet Ski Watercraft and trailer are as follows :
Jet Ski STX-12F (JT1200-B1)

Kawasaki STX-12F

Hull Number : KAW50110A303
Engine Number : JTT20BE000194
Datatag Number : AE-1251
Snipe R300T Roller Trailer   Serial Number : 023491
The Jet Ski Watercraft was stolen without the magnetic key or the lanyard so please be aware that the thieves may be trying to sell or operate the craft without these items.  If you have any information on the whereabouts of this Jet Ski Watercraft or trailer then please contact Paul Cross on 01628 856668 or Surrey Police on 0845 125 2222 quoting Crime Number D/03/8955.
