Jack Moule (born 1994) was a young professional jet skier. In 2008, he became the British National Freestyle Champion in both the amateur and professional classes,[1] just 18 months after he was considered old enough to ride his own jetski,[2] making him the youngest ever jetski champion at the age of 14.[1] Jack won the amateur competition 41 points ahead of his nearest competitor, and the professional class by 13 points. His competition was aged 17 to 45.[2] In the freestyle round, he won all rounds on the tour except for one.[3]
