Jet ski racing fans and adrenaline seekers are gearing up for one of the most exciting motorsport weekends of the year, the 2026 Watercross Nationals, set to roar into life on the Gold Coast from 6–8 March 2026 at Broadwater Parklands Public Boat Ramp, Southport.
This three-day Personal Watercraft (PWC) racing festival isn’t just your average national competition — it’s a high-octane blend of elite national titles and international challenge, as the Australian Watercross Nationals will be run alongside the first round of the WGP#1 Oceania Continental Championship this year.
What to Expect
From the break of dawn each day, the Broadwater will buzz with the sound of jet engines as racers battle through intense closed-course formats designed to test speed, skill, and stamina. Expect:
- Three motos on Friday to kick things off, followed by more fierce racing across Saturday and Sunday.
- Multiple racing classes for professional, amateur, and masters competitors — including ski and runabout divisions across Pro/Amateur, Women’s, and Veterans categories.
- Excitement for spectators of all ages, with fast action that keeps momentum high throughout the weekend.
Why It Matters
This year’s Nationals are significant for the sport in Australia — not only showcasing top domestic talent but also anchoring the WGP#1 Continental Championship on home waters, bringing greater international recognition to Australian Watercross.
Whether you’re a seasoned racer, a fan of high-speed water sport, or just looking for an electric weekend by the water, the 2026 Watercross Nationals on the Gold Coast are shaping up to be a highlight of the summer racing calendar.
