World number one jet ski racer Francis to make UK debut at Scarborough
Off the back of a solid performance in the Florida Series Pro Enduro opener in Daytona Beach last month, Francis heads to England to go head-to-head with current world number two Phil Pope from Derbyshire.
It will be the first time ‘The Eagle’, as the man from West Palm Beach in Florida is known, has competed in a P1 AquaX race in the UK and for the thousands in attendance at Scarborough’s South Bay it’ll make for great viewing.

Hide AdFrancis said: “I’m excited to race in the UK as it’s an honour to race where P1 AquaX got started and to battle with The Pope himself on his own turf!"
As always, The Eagle will represent Team Kawasaki, Monster Energy and Aysha Rensink, and he’s been told to expect chilly conditions and choppy seas.
“I’ve been well briefed for my first visit to England” added Eric “and I can’t wait to get to Scarborough, take on the top Brits and then head down south to see the sights of London.”
