It's a simple trick, really: just put your camera in the burst mode, set continuous auto-focus, set a fixed exposure time and take lots of photos. One of them has got to be sharp :). The good thing about shooting jet skis, when they go straight, they don't jerk around and riders maintain a fixed pose. That makes panning a lot easier.
I did not expect such a huge score! Thank you so much!

Huge Congrats, Lev - well deserved!
If there wasn't the other person in the bg I would have given you a 10, but I think you're ok with my 9 too, aren't you?
And thank you for the "how to do it" trick, much appreciated!
Congratulations, Wow 11- 9's! very impressive and well deserved. A spectacular image.
Thank you for the learning process in your notes. You never cease to amaze!
This was my highest score for the challenge. Having spent so much time trying to get ANY subject in focus, let alone one this large in the frame, I couldn't but admire the refined technique exhibited here. :-) A well-earned Blue!
