Mohammed Burbayea has returned to his home country of Kuwait a back-to-back champion at the Jet Ski World Series, in the Pro Runabout Grand Prix racing category. The Kuwaiti jet ski superstar has repeated his previous success at Jet Ski World Series with another championship run at the prestigious major event, which was held between 2021 and 2022, and spanned three continents.

At the end of the first leg of the tournament he’d set his sights on winning the championship for a second time in a row, and he was off to an excellent start, having just been crowned the champion at the Eurofinals. That first round was held in Poland, and proved to him that the competition was going to remain tough to beat. He went to America and Thailand for rounds two and three.

“I’m overjoyed with winning a fierce and challenging championship.” Burbayea said. The Pro Runabout Grand Prix category that Mohammed Burbayea competes in is known for its extreme difficulty, high level of never-ending endurance, and heavy-duty use on the jet skis, many of which cannot keep up with the stress of the race.

Even so, Burbayea was able to bring his goal to fruition, and was, by the numbers, the most consistent rider in all three country tournaments. Where other riders occasionally took podium spots, Burbayea was able to keep his score tally up there, thus remaining competitive until the last race. 

Speaking on how he achieved such steady consistency throughout the multiple stages of the tournament, Burbayea pointed to the efforts of his team, in his typically humble fashion. “My team is 100% Kuwaiti,” he said. “They’ve been with me from the start of the competition, going above and beyond.”

The Jet Ski World Finals in Pattaya, Thailand, were taxing on his body, as Burbayea was dealing with nagging back pain. He had to overcome it to remain competitive, and even though he lost a couple of races to the talented Danish racer Marcus Jorgensen,  the European star was not able to defeat Burbayea for the World Series title.

“It was the most challenging starting race and competition of them all.” Burbayea said when asked about the races at the Thailand World Series. 

Burbayea communicated his deepest thanks and appreciation to the Kuwait Public Sports Authority, the Kuwait Marine Sports Club, Kuwait Finance House, Power Sport Kuwait, Core Build, the M Center for rehabilitation and physiotherapy, Red Bull Kuwait, and ProRider Garage Kuwait.

When Burbayea was asked if he would want to compete again in the Jet Ski World Series, he said, “I’d love to go back and defend my title for a third time.”  It is also certain that his fans would be eager to see him return to attempt a three-peat performance at the major event.
