IRB Hull Development
With
a clear focus on reducing injuries resulting from IRBs it
is encouraging to see manufacturers assisting with the development
of 'soft ride' hull designs. SLSA has concentrated on introducing
more responsible driving and crewing of IRBs with an associated
change in the format of IRB racing to make it more akin to
moderate rescue situations.

all began. Pictured above is John with very supportive wife
