About Me

The IJSBA has affiliated associations, organizations and members in more than 50 countries worldwide and its headquarters are located in California, United States.

IJSBA International Affiliates

IJSBA leadership on international affairs has stimulated global activity. We maintain uniform racing rules worldwide by assisting international affiliate organizations. The IJSBA has members in more than 50 countries worldwide and is the only recognized sanctioning and governing body in more than 43 International Affiliated countries.

The IJSBA’s International Affiliate Membership program has been successful in providing the watercraft industry with “worldwide leverage” and the ability to respond rapidly to both international and national problems. A national personal watercraft association illustrates the old adage “there is strength in numbers.” From fun to safety, the combined efforts of many personal watercraft affiliates, clubs, promoters and racers can accomplish far more than one single person or unit can. By sharing responsibility, members can spread the workload required for organized rides, beach maintenance, and preservation of riding areas among many people. At the same time, an International Affiliate perform a very important function: building a reputable public image for the sport of personal watercraft riding and other related activities.

Currently, there are over 200 clubs and promoters in more than 50 affiliated countries worldwide forming a very powerful network of personal watercraft owners, riders and enthusiasts.
