NEVER QUIT CHALLENGE WATER RESCUE TECHNICAL RALLY Skill – Precision - Challenge HISTORY Our first technical event was held in California in the early 1990’s by our Founder. Our partner was the Personal Water Craft Industry Association and we enjoy working with Yamaha, Sea Doo and Kawasaki in support of their Law Loan Program. We have the only competitive lineage that can host a world championship event of this kind! Our founder is a world champion PWC racer and event promoter, and a world renowned subject matter expert regarding Personal Water Craft. We provided the PWC support for the USLA Nationals for several years in association with Yamaha Motors Corp. USA. From there we promoted the California Police and Fire Games Personal Water Craft competition and the Rigg Challenge. We were the frontline of safety for the International Jet Sports Boating Association for over two decades in events around the world. One thing we know is event promotions and fair competition! The Rigg Challenge was a Swiftwater event named in honor of Nancy Rigg. We have hosted many Never Quit Challenges (NQC) over the years. Our background is steeped in Personal Water Craft competition since the 1970’s and from the late 1980’s for the water rescue community. We know how to deliver and we know what you want! The merger of this esteemed pedigree has brought us to the RWCA to support our membership and the skill, precision and challenge of our technical ability. Teams are invited to discover their blueprint of operations, to increase their knowledge base and to learn new skills and meet RWCA members from around the nation.
