A life
in racing.

From motorcycles to the sea

Born in Le Creusot, France, in 1977, Cyrille Lemoine grew up drawn to motorsport. He began racing motocross in 1989, competed at a high level, and switched to jet skis in 1995. In his first season on the water, he won a French national title.

His career spans several kinds of racing: buoy courses, open sea offshore events, rally jet and slalom. Changing water conditions called for precision and consistency. Over the years he won twelve world titles and four European titles.

In 2005, on Oléron island, he won his first professional world championship. It was a turning point after his early victories in other classes.

In 2006, he became French, European and world champion in speed racing. That same year, he also won the European and world endurance titles and the offshore world title: six titles across three disciplines.

The 2010 season brought three UIM world titles in offshore, speed and slalom. In 2016, he won the four day Karujet in Guadeloupe and took his twelfth world title. The following year, he became United States offshore champion by winning the Long Beach–Catalina race.

In 2026, Cyrille began a new chapter in E1, racing electric RaceBirds on foils. After completing training and earning a UIM Superlicence, he joined Team Monaco as a reserve pilot. The control he developed on jet skis now serves him in a different challenge: keeping a boat flying over the water.

Still drawn to competition, he has also taken part in the Lamera Cup in motor racing. On the French Riviera, he shares his love of the sea through Holeshot Location, his jet ski base in Cavalaire-sur-Mer.
