Clean Sea Project: Clean Waterways For All to Enjoy

Sea-Doo enthusiasts, and Sea-Doo X-TEAM racers collected nearly two dumpsters worth of trash in Florida as part of the Earth Day weekend Sea-Doo Clean Sea Project.

To mark Earth Day and celebrate Sea-Doo’s 50th Anniversary, we gathered about thirty owners of PWCs – passionate people determined to make a change – to clean up  beaches in Miami and Saint Petersburg. This clean-up effort was to keep our waterways trash-free, so that everyone can enjoy the beauty of nature. Hundreds of pounds of debris, including mattresses, old shoes, foam, fiberglass, hundreds of cans and bottles were collected from area islands and shorelines.

PWC enthusiasts from area watercraft clubs, and Sea-Doo race team members of all ages volunteered. The two-hour effort was hosted by Sea-Doo with support from Waste Management. Sea-Doo provided all Clean Sea Project volunteers with gloves, trash bags, clean up caps.

Cleaning the shoreline today for a cleaner waterway tomorrow for all to enjoy.

Group of Clean Sea volunteers cleaned up lots of trash and debris – including this large life preserver. After the clean up only beautiful beaches and shorelines remained – no more trash.

Everyone is invited to participate everyday and support this Clean Sea Project effort in their community. We hope this can lead to a movement among a network that works together for something bigger than us.

SEA-DOO TO BEGIN SEA-DOO CLEAN SEA PROJECT WITH GOAL OF STARTING GLOBAL WATERWAY CLEAN-UP MOVEMENT WHILE CELEBRATING 50TH ANNIVERSARY 

On Saturday the 21st of April 2018, BRP, makers of Sea-Doo watercraft, will celebrate and support Earth Day weekend with the launch of the Sea-Doo Clean Sea project – a shoreline/island clean-up effort in two Florida locations; Miami Marine Stadium in Miami and Maximo Park in St. Petersburg.

This clean-up effort is to help keep waterways trash-free so that all can enjoy the beauty of nature, will be powered by volunteers from various personal watercraft (PWC) clubs from the local areas and sponsored by Sea-Doo.

Miami & Tampa

At 9 AM ET, on the Saturday of Earth Day weekend, a fleet of PWC owners will gather and then ride out to designated areas to pick up trash and debris from beaches and shorelines. All collected garbage will taken to a dedicated drop off location to be picked up for disposal by Waste Management. A deliciously wholesome and earth-friendly lunch will be provided to all volunteers after the clean-up.

As Sea-Doo celebrates its 50th anniversary of continual environmentally responsible innovation, BRP embraces the opportunity to start an environmental responsibility movement. BRP envisions that the Clean Sea project will become an annual event that will eventually expand from a local Florida program to a worldwide initiative, one that will continue through the next 50 years and beyond.

  • NEW SEA-DOO RXT-X 300 TO MAKE FULL COMPETITION DEBUT AT P1 AQUAX SERIES
  • SEA-DOO BOUNTY CONTINGENCY PROGRAM RAISES PAYOUTS FOR AQUAX
  • NEW RIDERS JOIN FAVORITES ERMINIO IANTOSCA, TIM DUCAT, AND ANTHONY RADETIC ON THE SEA-DOO X-TEAM

Valcourt, QC, CANADA– April 10, 2018 – Sea-Doo enters the 2018 watercraft racing season with tremendous buzz and excitement with the launch of the new RXT-X 300 model. Anticipation is high for the redesigned Sea-Doo RXT-X to make its official debut in the popular P1 AquaX enduro racing series. New riders will be joining the X-TEAM in 2018 and all Sea-Doo racers competing is select events are eligible for the Sea-Doo Bounty racer contingency program.

The 2018 Sea-Doo RXT-X 300 watercraft is poised to follow in the dominant racing wake of championship proven Sea-Doo RXP-X; the two-seat watercraft that has set the handling standard in closed course racing. The RXT-X 300 enters the enduro racing world with new ST3 hull and lowered rider center of gravity that combines to offer 30% more stability at rest and when charging through big water at speed. The new design innovations, including the rider Ergolock system that allows riders to better connect with the machine, has the racing community excited for the start of the 2018 season.

BRP will sponsor premier racing events including the P1 AquaX Series, Pro Watercross Tour, IJSBA World Finals and others and will see elite racers representing the Sea-Doo X-TEAM in 2018. These racers include, Erminio Ianstosca, James Bushell, Mohammad Burbayea, Claude Clayton, Tim Ducat and fan-favorite Anthony Radetic. Radetic, who is a former Army Helicopter pilot and renowned, challenged athlete who has limited use of his legs. Radetic and Iantosca will also be ambassadors for XPS lubricants and maintenance products. Joining the X-TEAM in 2018 is the JET-X team from Ontario, Canada with Pro rider Jay Edworthy who will be at the helm of a new RXT-X 300. Edworthy will join Iantosca – the Sarasota AquaX champion – and Radetic as favorites to finish on the Pro Enduro podium at P1 AquaX events.

The X-TEAM riders and all Sea-Doo watercraft riders will be eligible for Sea-Doo X-TEAM Bounty. The Sea-Doo X-TEAM contingency is essentially an, “open-sponsorship” that excludes no one, except those competing on other brands. To supercharge the P1 AquaX season opener in Miami an additional $1500 bonus will be added to the $1000 Pro Enduro win bounty for a $2500 top finish incentive. In addition to the glory that comes with winning on Sea-Doo watercraft, comes the opportunity for extra prize money.

“Sea-Doo is ready to compete for championships in AquaX with the new RXT-X 300,” says Tim McKercher, of Sea-Doo watercraft competition management. ”Sea-Doo’s global fan base including the dealer network, owners and race fans are excited for 2018 as we’re looking to extend our race-proven success to Enduro racing with the new RXT-X platform.”
