A hyrdoflight world tour is being launched next year, with the climax of the event taking place in Bermuda after the success of the Battle on the Rock in Hamilton over the weekend.

Savvy Entertainment, who brought the event to Hamilton Harbour last Friday and Saturday, will be bringing back the Battle on the Rock next September as the final stage of their Hydroflight World Tour, which begins in the United Arab Emirates in February next year.

“We are extremely excited that we were able to bring a new and exciting event to Bermuda and we are determined to bring it back again,” Savvy CEO Anthony Blakey said. “We have high hopes that this will be an event that will increase tourism as well as put Bermuda on the map as a top hydroflight community destination.

“Poseidon Games, our world tour, will kick off next year February as ‘Battle on Khalid Lake’ in Sharjah. Poseidon Games is a five-country open international hydroflight tour inclusive of all riders of jet boards, bikes and packs.

“Competitors will battle head to head to return to Bermuda in September 2018 to compete for the Trident Cup.”

American Jake Orel won the event, beating Sean Ray and Hunter Verlander into second and third places respectively.
