Strap Yourself to a Rocket!
Professionally racing since the age of eighteen, Rich Wyatt has pushed his life to the limit. Currently ranked first place in the Super Vee Class, Wyatt has overcome obstacles both on and off the water. Now at Twenty-three, Wyatt has dedicated himself to breaking new ground. It’s the thirst to burn faster that has brought this landbound Pittsburgh native to competing in open water. Over the past year Wyatt has claimed the sports top prizes including Rookie of the Year, National Champion and World Champion and is now in pursuit of his second World Championship title. At speeds exceeding 120 mph, watch Rich Wyatt navigate through the unpredictable waters of the Hudson River at maximum velocity in a finely tuned racing machine. More dangerous than Nascar, the unpredictable race course is always changing. With daunting 4- 7 foot swells and 12 foot walls of water spray from competing boats, race teams fight to navigate a course which varies from lap to lap. An extreme sport which takes both endurance and nerves of steel, Rich Wyatt and Firewater have met the challenges and come out champions. For additional information visit www.superboat.com
