November : Stocks On
The Way Up After Award Success. |
|
Luke Stocks spoke of his
delight after being named the North East Lincolnshire Sports
Personality of the Year for 2007.
|
|
|
The freestyle jetskier has
made a splash on the national scene, winning a major British title for
the second year running.
|
|
He was handed the prestigious
award by last year's winner, swimmer Pete Winchester, who had flown
from Thailand especially to be at the ceremony.
|
|
A large crowd gathered at the
Beachcomber, Humberston, for the popular event - all eager to find out
the winners of the 10 categories.
|
|
Luke (21), of Grimsby, beat
off competition from veteran athlete Dennis Holt and swimmer Ruth
Smith to take the top award.
|
|
He said: "I was very
happy, although it was a bit of a shock.
|
|
I am proud to pick it up,
especially as the other nominees were so strong.
|
|
I won the British National
Championship this year, becoming the first person to win it twice.
|
|
It consisted of seven rounds
at venues across the country.
|
|
I have also performed in
shows at Ibiza as well as here in Cleethorpes."
|
|
Jetskiing can be a physically
demanding sport and Luke spends a lot of time staying in top shape.
|
|
He explained:
|
|
"I spend a lot of time
in the gym as you need strength, flexibility and co-ordination when
you are doing things like back flips and barrel rolls."
|
|
Luke has drawn inspiration
over the years from one of his heroes, Eric Malone.
|
|
The American is the world
jetski champion and has coached Luke in the past.
|
|
Luke, who works as a kitchen
designer and seller, now has big targets for 2008, including the
European Championships.
|
|
"There are five rounds,
which take place in Spain, Austria, Portugal, France and
Belgium."
|
|
North East Lincolnshire
Council, Acorn Signs and Kitchen Discount Ltd help Luke with his
costs.

November : Police Slam Thrillseekers For
Jetski Jape. |
| by Sonia Sharma, Evening
Chronicle
|
| An inquiry is under way
after jetskiing thrill-seekers sparked a massive search operation in
the North Sea.
|
| Three lifeboats and a
helicopter were scrambled after a group of people were reported to be
in trouble behind the South Tyne pier, close to South Shields beach,
at around 6.30pm yesterday.
|
| Fishermen in the area rang
the coastguard saying they had spotted up to five people on two
jetskis near the mouth of the Tyne.
|
| However no-one was found to
be in danger. One water bike was found abandoned on the shore and
another was reportedly seen heading upriver. The search was called off
an hour later.
|
| Police believe the machines
may have been stolen and have launched an investigation.
|
| Insp Graham Lockey, of
South Shields police, said: “Witnesses saw individuals abandon one
jetski on the shore and make good their escape on foot.
|
| “Up to possibly two
others were seen heading away on the other jetski.
|
|
“We are trying to
investigate whether the jetskis were stolen. The abandoned one was a
burgundy Waverunner. We would ask anyone with information about the
machine or the incident to contact us.
|
|
“We also urge people not to
put their own safety as well as that of others at risk in this way.
|
|
“Jetskiing is a summer
sport and people should not be doing it in bad weather conditions like
this. They put their own safety at risk as well as the safety of the
volunteers charged with rescuing them.”
|
|
An RNLI spokesman said three
lifeboats with 14 crew members were called to help.
|
|
He added: “On arriving at
the scene, it was discovered the surf was too severe to conduct an
effective search and Tynemouth RNLI’s all-weather lifeboat was
launched in support, together with the fast Atlantic 85 class inshore
lifeboat from Cullercoats as back-up.
|
|
“The lifeboat crews and a
shore-based coastguard team conducted extensive searches, discovering
an abandoned jetski on South Shields beach. Another jetski was seen
leaving the area and heading upriver.
|
|
“The search continued in
case some of the jetskiers were in the water and the police helicopter
joined the search.
|
|
“No-one was found and the
search called off after an hour, with ground-based police continuing
inquiries.
|
|
“We always take reports of
people in difficulty very seriously so a thorough search of the area
was carried out by the three lifeboats, but it seems as if everyone on
the jetskis had left the area, abandoning one jetski.
|
|
“When Humber Coastguard was
satisfied no-one was in any danger, the search was called off.
|
|
“The RNLI strongly advises
against anyone using a jetski in poor sea and weather conditions such
as those we found, particularly in the dark.”
|
|
Anyone with information
should ring South Shields police on 08456 043 043.

November : Warning Over Jet Skiers. |
| Stuart Arnold Writes.
|
| COASTGUARD volunteers
called off a search for 'missing' jet skiers after reports four people
were in difficulty.
|
| Tynemouth RNLI's inshore
lifeboat was launched at 6.30pm on Sunday night after a call from
anglers that four people were in trouble on two jet skis near South
Shields beach, behind the south Tyne pier.
|
| However the surf was too
severe to conduct an effective search and Tynemouth RNLI's all weather
lifeboat was launched in support.
|
| The lifeboat crews carried
out extensive searches, later discovering an abandoned jet ski on
South Shields beach.
|
| Another jet ski was seen
leaving the area and heading up river.
|
| The search continued in
case some of the jet skiers were in the water and the Northumbria
police helicopter joined the search.
|
| But no-one was found and
the search was called off after an hour, with ground-based police
continuing enquiries.
|
| An RNLI spokesman said:
"We always take reports of people in difficulty very seriously so
a thorough search of the area was carried out by the three lifeboats,
but it seems as if everyone on the jet skis had left the area,
abandoning one jet ski.
|
| "When Humber
Coastguard Maritime Rescue Sub-Centre was satisfied no-one was in any
danger, the search was called off.
|
| "The RNLI strongly
advises against anyone using a jet ski in poor sea and weather
conditions such as those we found tonight, particularly in the
dark."

November : Sea Search Turns To Theft
Probe. |
| A search prompted by
reports of two water bikers encountering problems in the North Sea has
been called off.
|
| Three lifeboats and a
helicopter were scrambled after the pair were spotted behind the South
Tyne pier close to South Shields beach.
|
| One water bike was
subsequently found abandoned on the shore and another was reportedly
seen heading upriver.
|
| Police say they now believe
the machines were stolen and have launched an investigation.
|
| The lifeboats, along with
the police helicopter, were launched from Tynemouth at 1830 GMT but
the sea search was called off an hour later.
|
| 'Thorough search'
|
| A spokeswoman for
Northumbria Police said the force had initially received reports of
four people missing, but now believed only two men were involved.
|
| She said: "An area
search was made and no one recovered. A witness said they had seen
both witnesses make off on one jetski and leave one behind.
|
| "At the moment we are
not looking for anyone missing. There is the possibility the jetski
was stolen."
|
| An RNLI spokesman said:
"When our inshore lifeboat arrived at the scene the surf was too
strong to carry out an effective search so our all weather lifeboat
was launched.
|
| "We always take
reports of people in difficulty very seriously so a thorough search of
the area was carried out by the three lifeboats."

November : Record Breaker. |
| Alan
Pickard of Sheffield Personal Watercraft Dealership ‘Jetshed’
claimed a new National and World Speed Record during the recently held
38th annual Power Boat Records Week.
|
|
|
Traditionally an end of
season bash, the PBRW is one of the only events that bring together
such a large variety of powered craft.
|
|
Organised by the Windermere Motor Boat Racing Club, the event is open to
hydroplanes, inshore racers and the largest offshore powerboats.
|
|
Officials, Competitors and
their friends and families travel from across the country for a week
of record-breaking attempts surrounded by the areas stunning mountain
scenery.
|
|
The week (5th - 9th
November) saw conditions usually associated with surf riding as heavy
winds whipped up the lake.
|
|
This wasn’t going to put
Alan off as he joined over 100 entrants to take on the kilometre
course.
|
|
Two
passes are made of the course, north to south and then south to north
and an average speed from the two is calculated.
|
|
Alan
was aboard a race prepared Kawasaki STX15F with further pump
modifications to suit the conditions and make good speed on rough
water.
|
|
The
hydroplanes were prevented from running in the extreme conditions and
Alan could see why.
|
|
During
his first leg he found he had to apply lots of lock to the bars just
to maintain a straight line.
|
|
With
a speed of 81.759
unlike the majority of
competitors he made a fast turnaround and headed back.
|
|
On
the return leg conditions were much worse and a slower speed of 78.461
was
recorded.
|
|
The
average speed was calculated to be 80.11mph
and worthy of the record in the Runabout 1200 Superstock class.
|
|
Alan certainly opened a few
eyes with a recorded speed right up there with some much larger craft.
|
|
Well Done!

November : Southend Watercraft Club. |
| Based
on the South coast in Essex, Southend Watercraft Club are please to
announce their formation.
|
| After
a successful meeting with the PLA, foreshore Marine Police and
Southend council, we are pleased to publicise that we have been
granted their full support and backing.
|
| We
aspire our club to move forward and aim is to be the largest in the
country.
|
| The
Essex coastline has a lot to offer watercraft users, our first rule
must always be safety.
|
| With
the implementation of regulations and bylaws we endeavor to make it
safe for all our club members, yet family and fun come a very close
second.
|
| We
will be organising trips and Charity Fund Raising Events to name but a
few, for all age groups.
|
| All
our members are required to have a valid insurance certificate and the
vessel will need to be datataged. This can and will be validated on
site if the need arises, giving other members the security in the
water.
|
|
As
an extra safety measure some of our members have taken an RYA course
to offer other members advice and support both on and off the water.
|
|
After
talks with the local authorities we may well be in a position to offer
PWC courses to other club members to be held locally, but this is to
be advised.
|
|
VHF
radios have been introduced and are carried on the water by members
the benefits are.
|
To
let other watercraft know where we are.
We use them to communicate instructor to instructor.
In case of breakdowns at sea, calling for emergency services and local
authorise.
To communicate with large vessels to advise them we are in the water
along with other PWC.
Listening for changes in the weather and navigational warnings, these
are broadcast every 4 hours.
VHF radios are far more dependable than mobile phones off shore.
VHF radios use marine frequencies so any other watercraft will be able
to assist you sooner should the need arise.
|
|
Memberships
are now available and will run until march 09 at a reduced rate, as
well as discounts at a range of local businesses dealing with the
club.
|
|
There
is an informative forum for all to view giving details on meetings,
fun days or if you need help with your craft.
|
|
We
look forward to seeing you at the Ness Road slipway in the not to
distant future.
