At weekend the Waterjet World Cup was held on Jomtien Beach in Pattaya.
Out of curiosity i went there with my camera just to snap some vibes. However, i followed other photographs and got into the crew’s area, where waterjets got prepared and inspected. It was also a great place at the beach to spot the scenes on the races, hence the many photographers there.
It took not too long, an official approached me and explained me, only accredited photographers are allowed there. But i was sent to the media counter, where i got a free day pass as photographer and influencer. Lucky me. Unfortunately this pass was for the visitors area only.
Despite i was there for the crews and behind the scenes vibes, rather than just the race, it was interesting to watch the waterjets almost flying around the course.
Beside that, there was another challenge in ‚freestyle‘, where the competitors had to ride their waterjets in acrobatic and artistics figures.
But see yourself the impressions i got for you…
