Jetsprint boat racing (also known as sprint boat racing) is one of the fastest and most exciting newer forms of boat racing. A crew of two race a small V8 powered jetboat through a series of channels in less than a metre or water, at times reaching speeds of up to 80 mph. The channels are usually about 12 to 15 wide, requiring the driver and navigator to negotiate the course carefully while aiming for maximum speed.

Jetsprinting originated in New Zealand in 1981, where races were held in natural “braided” rivers. Today, jetsprint courses are most often manmade. They typically change direction 25 to 30 times and are traversed in about 60 seconds.

Experience jetsprinting for yourself in this YouTube video (the race starts 45 seconds into the video):
