" My life has been staked out by sport, Swimming, Combat, Surfing, Rugby, American Football,... and JetSki;  It is from afar sport the more complêt that he/it has been given me to practice "

 
The Sea :
The other continent...

Sport is his mentor and, the environment his  partner. Philippe Ouakil, born in Paris in 1967, check already since more of twenty years the situation, between his knowledge of the oceans and the practice of the Jetski. Very early, he/it depends on the Racing Club of France of swimming and, very quickly, attempt himself to the jet ski on the coasts of Hawaii that offer themselves to him.


These years of experiences of the Pacific oceans and Atlantic, made him earn a know-how exemplary of the jet ski piloting. He/it undertakes the sea like a vocation. Affluent of real expertises, he/it remains heedful facing the environmental cause, and gets the public opinion a recognition depending on sport and the survey of the seas.


Evolving with art in Mediterranean Sea by all types of time, he/it counts to his/its asset more of one thousand hours of navigation. While usually furrowing the territorial waters of Monaco, to leave of which he/it achieves Portofino, Calvi or Marseille, he/it took the time to analyze the concept of the J.M.T.


The idea of the J.M.T, is to present the sporty and scientific side of the event at a time. The author leans on a strong exam, as well in terms of exploit that for the defense and the respect of the marine world. Here are the keys of his project and, before the competition, in a maintenance, his feeling.



MAINTENANCE WITH PHILIPPE OUAKIL


JMT Communication:
What standard of conditioning imposes itself currently to you.


Philippe Ouakil :
I train since 10 months, a minimum of three hours per day. I already achieved in Jetski, to personal bond, the three quarters of the Mediterranean. Physically all muscles are requested and fiscal period in Jetski stays fundamental. I am going to increase the number of hours of actuation, to prepare my body completely to this proof, progressively. To be to the bip of my form the eve of the departure, I will space the sessions for another type of preparation, the one of the concentration. It is a real pleasure to exceed his limits.


JMT Communication:
And in the club of the Jetski, you think to make evolve this sport.


Philippe Ouakil :
The Jetski is often tabulated like element of leisure and entertainment. In sporty matter, he/it submits to strict rules of security or, in the context of those established in competition, he/it is a matter for the professionalism. The Jetski is a fully-fledged discipline, especially since the tour of the Mediterranean Sea is a difficult circuit. This sport is victim of the marginal connotation that he shaped the firm in spite of it. I am to promote the opening of an international competition scrupulously, an Offshore Raid, in the regularity of the navigation, and in the setting of a location on the cleanliness of the seas, themselves the lung of the land. And, for the respect of the environment, that the sporty overflow is the adult element in symbiosis with this sea, cradle of the humanity.


JMT Communication:
That wish to federate.


Philippe Ouakil :
This competition is the first stone a building holder's of humanism, of exchanges cultural and back-up of the planet. I wish, for the pleasure of sport and, through a certain form of humanitarian radiation, to awaken the consciences.


JMT Communication:
What are the steps that you are going to surmount?


Philippe Ouakil :
There are some passages notably in the Golf of the Lyons where the sea moves immensely then, along the Moroccan coasts, where the walls of water achieve until five meters. It is necessary to be even more heedful facing the hazard of the garbage met on water as containers floating dangerously between two waters. There is also, everything that carried the streams until the sea, without speaking of tablecloths of oil, and illegal wild degassings, undertaken in the closed sea that represents the Mediterranean bowl.


JMT Communication:
That will set the JMT 2005 then


Philippe Ouakil :
A next edition, prompt and yearly, that will align 30 to 50 competitors by navy motorcycle. She/it will leave from Monaco, will border France, Spain, Morocco, Algeria then, will ascend by Italy. This Rally Raid of about 7000 km will take place in 15 days, at the rate of 400 km per day on the West bowl of the Mediterranean. To the medium speed of 30 nodes, either to the speed cruise of 50 km/h, the Throws Ski aligned for the first Rally Raid will benefit from a logistics that will apportion a filing so much to the gainers of every step pilot that builder. Five units of aid will evolve on waters of which, a boat that will precede the race with, a boat in waiting line of ball. To organize every competitor's acceptance, some bivouacs will be raised, permitting to benefit from care and reviews for the material. In the outlook of the JMT, other organizations of Raid of the Seas will open the way to events as the Tour of the Islands British, the crossing of the Pacific of Los Angeles, Hawaii and Tokyo, as well as the Tour of the continent African. The sporty mind for the backup of the marine wealth, made react the vicinal States for causes of which they are liable.
