JETPILOT AUSTRALIA:
EST. 1986.
Jet Pilot was born in 1986 when it made a name for itself by creating the most technically advanced wetsuits, vests and apparel for the sport of personal watercraft racing.
The inspiration came from 4 Californians with a strong passion for Moto X and Watercraft. As Scott, Jeff, Eric and Phil got heavily into Watercraft they saw that no one was focusing on Rider apparel in this growing sport. Their MX background gave them the vision and design concepts that changed the industry to what we are today. The Jet Pilot brand name was chosen from the guys from their experience of racing Moto X at a Pro level in America and Europe.
They were called Moto pilots if you rode Moto X bikes in Europe. They didn’t want to call the brand Jet Ski Pilot racing apparel as Jet Ski was a Kawasaki trademark name for their watercraft products, so the brand Jet Pilot was the title of the new direction in water sports gear.
The watercraft market was getting very exciting on the racing side and Jet Pilot created the personalities in the sport that we still know today, such as Jammer, Fish, Mac, Slasher, Haulin Harry, Hollywood Watkins, Rick Roy and Christy Carlson. These riders captured the youth globally and made us see through Jet Pilots marketing how exciting the sport can be. The JP marketing made you see beneath the helmet of the athlete and got you involved with the rider’s lifestyle.
Today, 34 years on, we are very proud to support and promote the sports and land we love!
We owe our success to our team riders, designers and partners. Collectively we have pushed the boundaries because we all believe in what we do.
