Included in the AquaX World Championship schedule was a Pro Sprint class for the first time, and English rider Simon Gill broke the American stranglehold on the event by taking top spot on the podium.

With his family from Bristol, UK alongside him at the end of racing, Gill said:

This is everything I hoped for and much, much more.

The popular Floridian rider Johnny Smith took second place with UK rider Mollie Fearn in third.
