Northeast Watercraft Alliance
Welcome, and thank you for visiting the Northeast Watercraft Alliance (NEWA) web site. The NEWA is a PWC advocacy organization staffed by watercraft riders and racers; our goal is to provide opportunities for members of the PWC community to increase their enjoyment of the sport. We will fulfill that goal through the development and execution of social gatherings, competitive events and educational programs, aimed to enhance the PWC experience.
Borne of the Adirondack Jetski Club (AJC), JetFest is a highly successful, socially focused, annual PWC ride and rally. Built upon the success of four successive events, the object of JetFest is to provide an opportunity for PWC enthusiasts to come together and share their appreciation for our sport. With guided lake rides, a BBQ lunch and raffle prizes including a free PWC, JetFest is fun for all. Sanctioning by the AWA and close cooperation with state and local authorities ensures event safety is paramount. For more information on this world class social event, see the
JetFest page.
Comprised of avid racers, the NEWA is committed to the development and execution of local grassroots racing events that harken to the sport’s greatness during the “old days.” Since the sport’s explosion in the 1980’s and 90‘s, there have been myriad changes both in the PWC enthusiast demographic and the manufacturing market as a whole. Watercraft racing, or “Hydrocross” has had to keep pace with these changes, not all of which have been advantageous. There exists a passion, in the hearts of die hard, old school and new school PWC racers alike, to pit their skills against one another on the closed course. Our answer is the WetWerX Region 8 Closed Course Series! More information can be found on the Racing page.
Our focus is not only on the entertainment aspects of the PWC lifestyle, but likewise on interaction with local, regional and statewide law enforcement agencies‘ first responders. The NEWA provides opportunities for individuals and regional entities to increase their knowledge base in the interest of better service to their community. Drawing upon over 100 cumulative years of PWC operation, ownership and maintenance experience, it is our desire to make watercraft riding a safer sport. Quite simply, a safer sport is a more pleasurable sport. See the Community page for more information on community efforts and services.
Please check back often. As an ever evolving resource, the NEWA site provides the latest news and most current developments of the organization, as well as event logistics, race schedules, and general PWC related information. Thank you again for your valuable time, we look forward to seeing you again!
