Today during a tragic accident we all lost our friend and fellow rider Stace 'Shopper' Hopper. Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time. He will be sadly missed.
Huge respect to Stace he represented a key part for freestyle jetskiing in NZ as well as being a choice friend we will never be the same without him.
Absolute top guy and awesome skier really helpful and one of the best to watch will be missed definatly.
