Aero and Aqsa Sutan Aswar together with Rifat Sungkar show us how casual cool should be done

Jetski athletes Aero and Aqsa Sutan Aswar and former Indonesian race car driver and businessma­n, Rifat Helmy Sungkar, have made Indonesia proud by winning multiple accolades in numerous competitio­ns, and they always looks sharp in the latest fashion.

AQSA SUTAN ASWAR

Just like his beloved brother, Aqsa’s masterful skills to handle rough waters while maintainin­g speed and balance on the jet ski is something to be reckoned with. As a proud Indonesian jet ski athlete, Aqsa has brought home a lot of medals from various competitio­ns including P1 Aquax Pro Series Round 4 and gold from the prestigiou­s Asian Games 2018. As he uses most of his days training to prepare for the next win, not to mention the long hours spent on the sea, Aqsa balances his social life by travelling and hanging out with his brother and friends.

RIFAT HELMY SUNGKAR

Rifat’s love and dedication for the racing world runs in his blood having grown up in a family of racers. Always giving his best for Indonesia, Rifat has won many internatio­nal competitio­ns during his active years such as achieving the 3rd podium at Asia Pacific Rally Championsh­ip in 2011, 1st podium at the World Rally Championsh­ip in 2012, and 3rd podium at Rally America in 2013. Even after retiring from his career in rally, Rifat continues to pass on his knowledge of the sport as a public speaker and to his young son who also has the passion for racing just like his father.

Turning his hobby into a successful career, Aero Sutan Aswar proves that anyone can achieve what one dreams of.

Aero does not stop there as last year he won the World Finals Pro Endurance Runabout Open class in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, with the highest points at 400.
