Jack Moule has followed up his national Jet Ski title by winning the Amateur British Freestyle championship.

The 15-year-old, who was the youngest competitor in the event, only started jet skiing two years ago. But Moule has risen through the ranks so quickly and become one of the country's top freestyle jet skiers.

The Markyate talent battled through six rounds of the British Championship and travelled across the UK to perform two minute freestyle routines for the judges.

Moule said: "I am so happy, I can't believe I have done it. I had to ski really well at every round and hold my nerve as I was competing against the reigning champion and we had a great battle. To win is just brilliant."

Nick Daymond, head of Roundwood Park School which Jack attends, said: "All of us at Roundwood Park are very proud of Jack's achievement. It is amazing that he has accomplished something like this at such a young age."

The rising star is now going to represent Great Britain at The 2009 World Jet Ski Finals in Lake Havasu, Arizona USA next month. He will be competing in the World Amateur under 900cc jet ski class.

He said: "I don't think I will win as there are so many other top riders taking part from all over the world with more powerful skis than mine. But I don't mind, the experience will be amazing and just to be going with my Mum and Dad as The British Champion is enough for me. Anything else would be a bonus this year."
