Screen Shot 2013-05-14 at 2.28.28 PMThere is a moment for every person who sits at the controls of a engine powered vehicle where they want to race. Maybe this urge isn’t everyday but it happens. Waiting for the light to turn green and get the jump on the car beside you, riding next to your brother or sister or good friend and you nudge the throttle just ever so slightly to gain the leading position.  Or maybe you are a full fledged racer at heart and take every opportunity to get from point A to point B faster than everybody else.

Riding a Sea-Doo may spur this urge a bit more than the average vehicle. After all, Sea-Doo watercraft are breed to be performers and in the arena of professional watercraft racing has dominated closed course races around the world. You may have thought about racing but don’t know where to go and aren’t interested in buying a lot of race specific parts or modifying your very reliable, stock Sea-Doo watercraft. And maybe lining up to a veteran racer may seem intimidating. But that burning desire to feed your competitive side hungers every time you squeeze the throttle lever of your Sea-Doo watercraft.

For PWC owners in the United Kingdom and the southeastern United States, specifically Florida, comes a new PWC event the P1 Aqua Cross series. This is a new form of PWC racing that is open to only riders with completely stock watercraft. Its the ultimate, “run what you brung” racing. The courses are also much less complex and open than traditional closed course races that one may see at the IJSBA World Finals.  Multi-time world champion watercraft racer Lisa Barsby of the UK developed this series in the UK to bring a new crowd to the family sport she loves. Barsby address the barriers keeping current owners from racing. The goal of Aqua Cross racing is to make it easy, safer, affordable, and fun for anyone and everyone with a PWC.

The classes are broken down by stock horsepower ratings to allow every category of PWC to compete head-to-head on equal equipment. There are three main categories offered, 300 hp, 250+hp, and 200+hp.  other than a PWC all anybody needs is protective riding gear, and a set of racing numbers.

The US events include:

June 15 & 16 – Daytona, Florida

July 20 & 21 – Pahookee, Florida

August 17 & 18 – Cocoa Beach, Florida

September 14 & 15 – Marathon, Florida

The UK events include:

June 1-2 – Hull

June 29-30 – Plymouth

July 13 & 14 – Eastborn Extreme

August 10 & 11 – Torquay

As spring has arrived for most of the northern hemisphere, Sea-Doo owners are prepping their watercraft and boats for the upcoming boating season and removing the shrink wrap and storage covers. We are sure it brings a smile across your face to uncover your Sea-Doo after a long winter hibernation. This is the time to give it a good wash and pre-season service to ensure everything is loose where it is supposed to be loose and tight where components are supposed to be tight.

After you go through the process of getting it ready for the season…cover it back up.

Screen Shot 2013-04-24 at 9.42.54 AMWe know just the sight of of your Sea-Doo brings joy to your heart but keeping it covered will bring that joy for a long time to come. With the arrival of spring comes more intense sun, and though all BRP products are engineered to withstand UV rays, the sun is powerful and exposure can manipulate colors and can dry materials over time.  Also, you may have heard of the term, “April showers bring May flowers”. This is great for your garden but not in the footwells of your watercraft. Covering your watercraft will also keep out any animals that may be looking for a place to nest.

To ensure your Sea-Doo is protected from the outside world and kept clean, utilize a custom fitted Sea-Doo watercraft cover. Whether your Sea-Doo is kept on a dock hoist, on a trailer on the side of the house, or in the resort parking lot BRP offers a form fitting cover. These covers are designed to securely wrap around the bond rail on the hull side, hold secure on the handlebars, and clip onto the rub rail holding it in place while trailering at speed.

Bottom line, when you are not on your Sea-Doo, keep it nice and tucked in by covering it up with the proper cover.

SEA-DOO X-TEAM CLAIMS PRESTIGIOUS PRO STOCK WIN WITH CHRIS MacCLUGAGE DOMINATING ON SEA-DOO RXP-X AT IJSBA OPENER

Panama City, Florida USA – The Sea-Doo X-TEAM racing season started off with a historical win as Chris MacClugage showed his move to the new Sea-Doo RXP-X was the right one as he dominated the highly competitive PRO Stock Class, winning all three motos.

The first round of the 2012 IJSBA National Racing Tour opened the national championship chase on Florida’s Emerald Coast in Panama City playing host to the best watercraft racers in North America. This was MacClugage’s homecoming as the native Floridian, now residing in Lake Havasu, Arizona, made his legend riding in the Florida surf and did so brilliantly aboard his MACC Racing/Monster Energy Sea-Doo RXP-X watercraft.

“My Sea-Doo RXP-X is really fun to ride in the surf,” said an elated MacClugage after his moto hat trick. “It is so much easier to go fast on the RXP-X compared to what I used to ride; the hull is so good and the power is perfectly matched with the handling. I had a really good time racing out there today.”

Although only available for a few months, the runabout class starting lines gave a glimpse that the new Sea-Doo RXP-X with T3 hull and ErgoLock system will be the new standard in watercraft racing for all levels. This RXP-X watercraft raced by MacClugage is the same watercraft any musclecraft enthusiast can purchase today from any of the 1500 BRP/Sea-Doo dealers across North America.

The next round of the BRP/Sea-Doo supported HydroTurf IJSBA National Tour will be this weekend, May 26-27 in Montgomery, Alabama.
