Steve Curtis

Steve Curtis (born June 9, 1964) is an English eight-time offshore powerboat racing World Champion. Curtis's father, Clive, ran the boat-building business Cougar Marine and was also a powerboat racer, which helped Steve enter the watercraft racing world. Before his career in boats, Curtis was a successful motocross rider, winning the British schoolboy and junior motocross championships. In 1985, at the age of 21, Curtis became the youngest ever Class 1 champion and the first Briton to win the title. He has since won multiple world, European, and Middle East championships, solidifying his status as one of the most successful powerboat racers in history.
