Founded in 2005 by Jim Lambert, Diablo Jet Ski Action (DJSA) is the first "Outlaw" type Personal WaterCraft (PWC) or Jetski Racing. Regionally located in Northern California, DJSA has approximately 8 to 14 races per year including Closed Course Buoy Racing and Endurance Racing.

"In 2005, our first ever race event, 49 guys said they were going to show up to race. Only 11 actually made it and I was on the verge of throwing in the towel and canceling due to a major case of despair and discouragement… But a couple pro freestyler guys named Derrick Kemnitz and John Kaszer gave me some valuable advice I’ve carried with me to this day… They convinced me to go ahead with the show because basically they weren’t leaving - and I think one of the phrases I heard from them that day was, “it takes 2 to make a race and you have 11, so what are you waiting for”… What I saw that day was the incredible “effect” these 2 freestylers had on about 500 spectators, my parents, my family, my friends, and myself, as they flew through the air performing amazing aerials and precision tricks. What I saw that day, was the effect 11 pwc racers had on all those watching, as they competed in match slalom, a blackjack enduro run, and some short track oval racing.

Ever since season 2, we have run a special 2-day event in the middle of our point series to spread a little extra fun around for the racers, the families, and the crews. A junior’s race clinic and match racing, a little open practice on the course, a softball shootout between the Sits and the Stands, a rider appreciation bbq put on by the staff, and a little RC car racing under the lights on saturday… and then on sunday 3 heats of hardcore double points series racing for every class. Out of thanks and appreciation for the “Effect” all our racers have brought to the amazing sport of pwc racing in northern California, we proudly present them, and you - with “Jet Effect 2012”… Not just a race - but our annual signature race dedicated to the DJSA outlaw racers themselves." - Jim Lambert Founder DJSA
