Meanwhile, Indonesian jetskiers Aqsa Sutan Aswar and Muhammad Farizi, finsihed as the bottom two of nine competitors.
Aqsa and Farizi only took part in the first round and skipped the rest because of engine problems. Farizi said the two were forced to end their journeys early because their team needed at least seven days to fix the engines.
