SEA-DOO WAKE MODELS TAKE TOW SPORTS TO THE NEXT LEVEL WITH PERFECT BLEND OF COMFORT, FUN AND FUNCTIONALITY

BRP continues to offer the right watercraft for every type of watersports enthusiasts with two tow sports specific models in the 2016 Sea-Doo WAKE 155 and Sea-Doo WAKE PRO 215.

Both 2016 Sea-Doo WAKE models receive the new, second-generation Intelligent Brake & Reverse (iBR) providing a more responsive activation and faster braking. The WAKE PRO 215 model is redesigned with the adapted Ergolock seat for greater rider and passenger comfort.

Sea-Doo watercraft have been part of the wake board and wake skate scenes since their respective inceptions as the tow vehicle of choice for elite watersport athletes as well as providing the perfect instructional tow vehicle for amateurs and enthusiasts. The Sea‑Doo tow sport watercraft provide the best wake towing capabilities and are equipped with exclusive features developed specifically for tow sports such as Ski Mode, a removable wakeboard rack and a retractable ski pylon with spotter handles and rope strap. The exclusive Sea-Doo iBR system has also become a valuable tool for tow sports enthusiasts as the intuitive system provides added control for quick turn-around to pick up downed skiers. The second-generation iBR provides a more responsive activation through an improved gearbox motor and larger, reengineered brake gate. The new iBR reduces the stopping distance by close to 48.75 m (160-feet)1.

BRP extends its support and long-standing relationship working with the NIKE wakeskate team riders to promote alternative watersports with Sea-Doo watercraft and to continually improve the WAKE models with engineering input. The tow-sport specific Sea-Doo WAKE 155 and WAKE PRO 215 models maintain their position as the watercraft of choice for elite NIKE wake skate team riders Ben Horan, Andrew Pastura, Nick Taylor, and Silas Thurman. In 2016, the Sea-Doo WAKE models continue to make a personal statement with new coloration and the WAKE PRO 215 rider environment being redesigned with the Ergolock seating and increased storage capacity.

Both 2016 Sea-Doo WAKE models include the exclusive Intelligent Throttle Control (iTC) system and speed-based Ski Mode to fit wake boarders’ and wake skaters’ needs. This exclusive feature is engineered to make every driver an expert driver with the ability to program the acceleration curve and target speed for a consistent, perfect pull every time. Learning to ride behind an iControl technologies-equipped Sea-Doo watercraft is easier, less intimidating, and more economical than behind a traditional powerboat.

HOW TO – Matching Your PFD To Your Sea-Doo Life

You are about to buy a, “big purchase item”. You are about to buy the most advanced watercraft on the planet with design that is years ahead of most vessels on the water. You are about to buy a stunning Sea-Doo watercraft. Are you really going to wear a PFD (personal floatation device) that is anything less advanced and stylish? Don’t be, “that guy” or “that girl” wearing an old mildewed, straight out of the ’90s, no style PFD while riding a work or art. Be the guy or girl who is wearing the most advanced, cool gear to match the most advanced, cool watercraft.

Wearing the right gear may raise your fashion status but the truth is, good gear provides the proper protection. An old PFD may have lost some of its buoyancy while other poorly constructed PFDs may come apart when forcefully entering the water. The right gear should be both fashionable and functional and wearing a PFD is required by law for all Sea-Doo drivers and riders when on the water.

An additional requirement for Sea-Doo drivers is the attachment of the D.E.S.S. key or Sea-Doo lanyard to the driver’s PFD. This is a safety requirement in case the driver were to come off of the vessel, as this immediately stops the watercraft engine. All Sea-Doo PFDs come standard with an integrated D-Ring for your Sea-Doo key connection, again part of the smart design of matched gear.

There are many types of PFDs on the market. When making a decision on what PFD to choose you should take a few things into consideration. To help you select the one that best suits your needs, Sea-Doo offers a wide selection of PFDs for all riding styles and all personal preferences.

The first question is Nylon, Neoprene, or Ecoprene?

There are differences in all. It’s important to think about how you are going to ride, where you ride and what will the weather be like at that moment.

Nylon – A PFD that combines great value with high quality components that won’t compromise look, safety, comfort and functionality. Easy fitting so it can be shared by a wide range of people, and versatile so it can be used for a variety of water sports.Your PFD needs to dry fast so it can be worn multiple times during the course of the day, making it perfect for the whole family.

  • Dries faster than neoprene
  • Lightweight
  • Low water absorption
  • Usually lower priced
  • Perfect for sharing

Neoprene – A personal, “athletic” PFD just for you, that matches your active riding style, can handle rugged daily — and all-day — use and adds warmth when needed. Snug fitting to intuitively shadow your body’s movements, and roomy where it counts not to hinder your mobility, your PFD will allow you to express yourself on the water.

  • Fitted
  • Warm again the skin
  • Increased level of comfort
  • Ease of movement

Ecoprene – The ultimate PFD that blends the functional attributes of nylon and performance features of neoprene, and also makes you feel environmentally green when surrounded by blue. PVC-free and sustainable. Your PFD will feel light even when wet and maximize air flow, because the more comfortable you are, the better and longer you will ride.

  • Dries as quick as nylon
  • Low water absorption
  • Added ventilation
  • 30% lighter than neoprene when wet

Super Duty Nylon PFDs – Built to last and styled to impress, designed to enjoy light and versatile comfort, safety and style. Nylon are best suited for hotter climates while equally functional in cooler climates with additional riding gear.

  • D-ring at back neck for goggle-to-PFD attachment cord.

As we all begin our plans for the last big outings before summer ends, thoughts are on creating memories with family and friends and hours of fun on the water. With so much to look forward to, Sea-Doo wants to remind riders of the importance of wearing personal flotation devices. Recreational boating fatalities in the US are at a 22-year low thanks to smarter boaters and smarter technology.

Unknown– http://safeboatingcampaign.com

There are numerous types of PFDs and Sea-Doo has developed a full-line to offer the best fit for every rider’s style and budget.

Which PFD is right for your lifestyle?

  • 2015-SEA-DOO-WAKE-PRO-215_ACTION29Wake & tow sports are your true calling: A PFD made for frequent water entry with rugged clasps and higher impact. The Freewave PFD is durable, allows for ease of movement and added warmth. The Freewave line includes a split tail comfort design to for maximum comfort on your Sea-Doo watercraft.
  • 2015-SEA-DOO-AIR-FLOW-PFDCruising along: Choose a PFD that is comfortable and compact if luxury rides are on your daily must list and you live for true comfort. The Airflow PFD is eco-friendly, lightweight, and water repellent to help you stay dry on your long rides.
  • 2015-SEA-DOO-GTR-215-ACTION-6Never slowing down: High performance, tight turns, and the thrill of feeling the horsepower.  Push your limits with the Force Pullover PFD. The Force is made with ultra-durable neoprene and has quick release buckles, a strategically placed mesh drain panel, and heavy-duty side zipper. The flexible PFD moves with the rider and helps keep in warmth for rides in various weather conditions.
  • 2015-SEA-DOO-MOTION-PFDTaking the Kids Anywhere: Spending time with your family on the water is at the top of your list, and the activities are never-ending. The Motion PFDs are designed for plenty of fun on the water.  The super-duty nylon outer shell makes the PFDs light and comfortable and provides added buoyancy. These comfortable PFDs are great for riders of all ages.

Boaters can also increase their level of comfort and control with watercraft equipped with braking systems such as the Sea-Doo intelligent brake and reverse (iBR) system that helps stop a Sea-Doo watercraft 100 feet sooner at 50 mph than a watercraft with out the system. With the iBR upgrade and boater education courses, more fun and a safe time on the water is ensured for personal watercraft riders and boaters alike.

Road Trip Sea-Doo Style!

It’s time for summer living which means families are gearing up for some much-needed time off and fun on the water. The suitcases are packed and the trunks are loaded, now just to get the Sea-Doo ready for the road trip to that perfect destination that you’ve been planning to hit since the cold, winter months.

Summer Trip Quick-Guide:

  1. PAC-PFD-SPARKGeared to go: Before heading out of the door, double-check that all of the gear fits correctly. If you’re using the same PFD’s from previous summer fun, it’s possible that some of your family members (kids grow up fast) have outgrown them. If an upgrade is needed, we’ve got plenty of options to pick from to keep everyone safe on your Sea-Doo watercraft. PFD-CoupleSea-Doo Nylon PFDs are a great value with higher end components for an ideal combination of comfort and safety. The Sea-Doo Neoprene PFDs matches an athletic riding style and can handle rugged daily use. Sea-Doo’s Ecoprene PFDs have all the advantages of Neoprene plus the quick drying benefit of Nylon. The right PFD will fit snugly and comfortably to provide proper buoyancy while in the water.
  2. SPARK-CleaningWater Ready: This may be the first time you’re getting your Sea-Doo watercraft back to the water this season, and if so, now is a good time to get it prepped. Just a couple of months back, we posted our spring-cleaning tips to transition your Sea-Doo watercraft from storage to water. For a quick review of basic inspection and proper cleaning, you can check out that post here. Get your Sea-Doo watercraft prepped beforehand so that you spend all of your vacation time relaxing.
  3. Fueled Up: If you’re traveling to a more remote location, we suggest filling up your Sea-Doo watercraft before leaving. This way you can fill up with quality, fresh fuel. It will also assist in towing to optimize the weight distribution.
  4. Sea-Doo_PAC_2015_Performance_1447_ACProtection your Ride: We’ve all seen the grime that our vehicles can buildup from long road trips. It’s difficult to clean and is unsightly. Once your Sea-Doo watercraft is prepped, one of Sea-Doo’s custom fit covers will help keep it sparkling all the way to your destination.
  5. Getting there: As much care should be given to your trailer as your Sea-Doo watercraft that way you can be sure to get from home to vacationing with ease. Check your tires tread wear & air pressure, trailer lights, and have a professional check your wheel bearings. To add a bit more certainty, grab a Sea-Doo Spare Wheel for your Sea-Doo Move I or II trailer.

Now, get on the road so you can get on the water!

We don’t think it’s just a coincidence that Father’s Day falls on the first day of summer this year. Let’s help him greet the riding season and reward all our favorite dads for the things they do all year with gifts they can enjoy all summer. And, if you need a little help picking out just the right item, we’ve got a list to help with your search to be sure he’s smiling on his special day.

FathersDayPerformance

It may be that all he needs is a brand new outfit to be ready for a whole new season of fun on the water. If so, hook him up with great gear from head to toe.

AmphibiousGogglesStarting with the Sea-Doo Amphibious Riding Goggles. They are incredibly strong, lightweight, and they float. The flexible frames shape to the face and not only are the lenses polarized but they offer 100% UV protection. These are the perfect goggles for the dad who really likes to pull the throttle.

VibeA rashguard is great for anyone who likes a bit more of a barrier between themselves and the elements. The Vibe Rashguard provides sun protection to that of SPF 50, and is fitted for comfort. The mock turtleneck collar adds a little extra protection and there is also a boardshort connector keeping everything exactly where it’s supposed to be. And, let’s not forget about the importance of safety. The Vibe PFD is made to match the Vibe rashguard in design and function. The large armholes allow for full movement of the arms and this PFD is made with a super-duty nylon outer shell. It’s a great value that can be used for a variety of water sports.

Cove-BoardshortsIs there anything more comfortable than boardshorts? We don’t think so. From relaxing at home to heading out to your favorite waterfront restaurant, The Cove Technical Boardshorts look and feel amazing. The quick drying 4-way stretch fabric is very light and the boardshorts include a removable lightweight stretch neoprene inner short for protection when riding your Sea-Doo watercraft. Moving down to those toes, the Sea-Doo Sandals are comfortable footwear that mold to the feet.

If your dad is anything like the rest of us, he won’t go anywhere without a few essential items. The Sea-Doo Duffle Bag is designed specifically for extended outings and day trips and features a couple of special pockets. One pocket is waterproof and the other is a cooler. It’s multi-functional for a packed day out.

Snap-InFendersWith dad taken care of, let’s be sure his Sea-Doo watercraft is as well. The Snap-In Fenders are easy to install and remove and will help prevent dock damage. So now, his ride on the water will stay as pristine as his ride to the water. Now, he’s ready for ultimate relaxation and a perfect start to a perfect summer.

Adventuring Across the Seas

It’s never too early to plan your big summer adventures. There are many things to think about when getting ready for a long sea excursion. It requires thoughtful planning, sound physical riding ability and increased vigilance.
GTR 215-RXT-X aS 260-RXP-X 260_04129_15_jpg

Here are some pieces of advice:

1) Know yours and your machine’s limits and think safety at all times.

2) When cruising the seas from one destination to another, choose to go with a flotilla. There is safety in numbers. Ideally, a large boat will break the seas for a smoother ride and add extra safety.

3) Timing as always comes down to Mother Nature. Times to avoid are windier months or months that are known for heavier storms that can make seas pretty rough.

4) Before the journey, don’t let your miscellaneous items go to the wayside when doing your prep. Items like your passport, medication, and credit cards may seem like obvious things to remember, but best add them to your checklist, just in case.

Getaway must-have items we recommend: 

1) Safety Equipment –  A watertight flashlight, Replenished Fire Extinguisher, and First Aid Kit are great starts to have on your checklist.

We recommend reviewing and following the recommended list by the USCG.

2) Additional Comfort – Most planners have the basics covered like sunscreen, water and snacks and extra clothing, but there are some additional items that will help make your ride feel a bit more comfortable: Sea-Doo_PAC_2015_TowSports_0120_cb_tif

  • The Freedom PFD is incredibly durable and made for maximum comfort with anatomically cut armholes. They also have a goggle-to-PFD attachment cord so that your goggles stay with you throughout the ride.
  • The Sea-Doo Riding Goggles will help keep your eyes from drying out and the polarized lenses are sure to enhance the magnificent views.
  • Sea-Doo_PAC_2015_RecLite_1592_AC_tifThe Attitude Full Finger or Shorty Vehicle Gloves not only protect against wind, but also provide maximum grip. Variations in wind can make the ride less pleasant if you’re not properly prepared.
  • The Sea-Doo Water Shoes will add extra support thanks to their anti-slip features.

Sea-Doo_PAC_2015_Recreation_0622_AC-3_tif3) Convenient accessories –Among the basics, we recommend adding a Handheld GPS along with some extra batteries. A sandbag anchor will be sure to come in handy when a break is needed, and the Sea-Doo Speed Tie and Snap-in Fenders will help you be ready for easy docking once you make it to your destination.

A mantra to live by when prepping for these types of trips is that you can never be over-prepared. Build up to your sea excursion with long watercraft rides. Find out what kinds of surprises you run into and learn what to be prepared for!
