AquaX Champion, Eric Lagopouls

AquaX Champion, Eric Lagopouls

Eric Lagopoulos claimed his second consecutive AQUAX series championship on a Sea-Doo GTR 215.

The championship was not determined until the final moto of the final race of the six event series, a year where the GTR 215 was the most popular model of the 250 class, Lagopoulos piloted the #361 consistently to podium spots an ultimately his second AquaX title.

After dozens of titles from around the world, Eric Lagopoulos has little to prove other than he can still win and win riding a Sea-Doo taken from the showroom floor against competitive factory supported teams. Lagopoulos has been in the sport of watercraft racing for over 20 years yet carries the youthful enthusiasm and drive to compete at the highest level of professional watercraft racing winning on what is fast becoming the sport’s biggest stage. We caught up with him to get some insight on his 2015 run.

OnBoard: Can you describe your 2015 AquaX season in one sentence?

Lagopoulos: “It was an incredibly exciting season filled with ups and downs but when it  came down to who was destined to be on top the season ended in pure satisfaction with the X-TEAM’s second championship in two-years!”

OnBoard: Why was the GTR 215 your craft of choose for the 250 class?

Lagopoulos: “The Sea-Doo GTR 215 is nimble in the surf and great in the flat and handles both with precision while being forgiving at the same time. It’s fast too and the reliability obviously helped us finish every race up front which is what you need to win championships over a grueling Aquacross season.”

OnBoard: Does the GTR 215 have an advantage over competitor models in regard to AquaX?

Lagopoulos: “I’ve had so much success on the GTR 215 in regards to Aquacross because of the different conditions each round. I mean is good in every condition. The GTR 215 is good in the flat water, good in chop, and good in the big surf races. It’s a watercraft that you can ride hard no matter where its ridden.” 

bugOnBoard: What was the most memorable moment of the year, other than the last moto of the season?

Lagopoulos: “I had a really cool moment Sunday before the races as a ladybug landed on my arm and I knew it would be my weekend!”

Onboard: That isn’t exactly what we were looking for… so lets go straight to the dramatic moment Sunday. Can you tell us what was going on in your head in the last moto when you knew you had to beat one person to win?

Lagopoulos: “I really love the mental side of the sport, so knowing I had to beat one rider for the overall championship was really exciting! I pushed the entire race from the drop of the green flag to the beautiful checkered flag and my second Aquacross championship in a row! It was a tight race figuratively and literally. The GTR 215 simply proved it’s the better overall watercraft.” 

Onboard: What’s next?

Lagopoulos: “I’m considering some really cool new opportunities in racing that I will be announcing in the near future so be sure to follow me on Facebook and on Twitter @Lagopolous and Instagram @lagopoulos1!”

The Sea-Doo Spark watercraft is compact, designed with an all-new Exoskel architecture consisting of a lightweight durable Polytec material, making it easy to maneuver and extremely playful. Its lightweight also makes it easy to tow. Two Sea-Doo Spark watercraft and a Sea-Doo Spark Move II trailer weigh less than 1,500 lbs. (680 kg), making it easy to tow behind many popular compact sedans.

The Sea-Doo Spark watercraft is a blast to ride thanks to its power-to-weight ratio and close to 50% better than the closest competitive model3. It is also fully customizable with multiple configuration choices: 2up or 3up configurations, choice of engine packages, with or without Intelligent Brake & Reverse (iBR), with or without the Convenience Package, in five color options, a host of new accessories and 20 vibrant Attitude Graphics kits that can be added, all designed to enhance your family time on the water.

As the No.1 selling watercraft in North America4, Sea-Doo continues to lead the industry in fun and peace of mind on the water as well as quality and value. The 2014 Sea-Doo lineup features a watercraft for every rider style and experience level. BRP remains the only manufacturer to offer the industry’s unique Intelligent Brake & Reverse (iBR) system in every watercraft category. This technology allows greater control for riders by positioning the brake and reverse lever directly on the watercraft handlebar. This provides easy access and the ability for riders to keep their hands on the handlebars throughout the ride. The iBR system also makes the

Sea-Doo brand the only watercraft that starts automatically in neutral. Sea-Doo’s exclusive iBR technology offers riders more peace of mind with a braking system that allows riders to stop up to 100 feet sooner than other watercraft5.

BRP’s Sea-Doo GTX Limited 215 model joins the luxury segment2014 SEA-DOO GTX LIMITED 215-Action4

The most selective consumers gravitate towards the GTX segment of Sea-Doo watercraft, as this remains the standard by which all other luxury watercraft are measured. The newest addition to this segment is the new 2014 Sea-Doo GTX Limited 215 watercraft. This model is the most powerful, non-suspended Sea-Doo model in the luxury segment. This mid-level luxury watercraft is ideal for riders who crave a premium touring experience and are seeking a watercraft offering much more than standard features. The GTX Limited 215 model features iBR, Intelligent Throttle Control (iTC) with the ECO mode and includes the exclusive Limited package adding a custom cover, Speed Ties, depth finder, glove box organizer and removable dry storage bag to the loaded model package.

For 2014, the new maintenance schedule requires the first oil change to be done after one year or 50 hours, subsequent changes are needed only every 100 hours or after a year of usage for all models. Another Sea-Doo maintenance improvement for this year is the fact that the engine coolant can now be used for 5 years or 300 hours before needing replacement.

BRP listens to people. BRP listens to what powersports enthusiasts think about their current products, including Sea-Doo watercraft, and what those enthusiasts want to see for future products. BRP is world renown for innovative design but it is important to realize that BRP doesn’t develop new designs simply for the sake of change. The new designs and new products BRP develops are based off of consumer desires and every innovation has a purpose.

The BRP Advanced Concepts team helps shape the future of recreational products.  It does so by listening to consumers and enthusiasts; listening to what is important to them and what moves them. What “moves” them in every way, meaning both physically and emotionally. Sea-Doo watercraft make good days great, no matter what the hull, no matter what the engine, no matter what the color. Simply riding a Sea-Doo watercraft provides an enjoyable experience.

Watercraft riders want comfort; BRP develop the first intelligent suspension. Watercraft riders want more control around the dock; Sea-Doo develop intelligent brake & reverse.

Watercraft riders want to wakeboard; the team develop intelligent throttle control with ski mode.

Watercraft riders want to turn tighter; engineers develop Ergolock and the T3 hull.

All innovative technologies, but all based off of consumer desires.

On September 15th at 8PM, the 2014 Sea-Doo watercraft lineup will be launched and again the world will see how BRP innovates by listening to people.

BRP received the “Ski of the Year” award from watercraft industry forum PWCToday.com for its new high-performance Sea-Doo RXP-X* 260 watercraft featuring the all new T-shape (T3) hull design and Ergolock system that better connects the rider to the machine.

“PWCToday.com’s six-person selection committee awarded an amazing 9.14 average out of 10 to the 2012 Sea-Doo RXP-X* and nearly a perfect 10 in the fun factor category,” said John Salvatore of PWCToday.com and the Watercraft Superstore.  “From the looks to the handling, every rider had nothing but praise for this watercraft.”

This is BRP’s second Ski of the Year award with the 2011 Sea-Doo GTI SE 130 model taking the top spot last year. This year, the 2012 Sea-Doo RXP-X* was judged side-by-side with the best new watercraft from the industry by a variety of riders of varying skill and experience levels in multiple categories. With its improved rider ergonomics and new hull design, the ability of the new Sea-Doo RXP-X* to allow riders to fully realize their performance potential led to high marks in overall fun.

“BRP focuses on elevating the consumer experience for every product we build. For many riders, the Sea-Doo RXP-X* redefines the high-performance watercraft,” said Yves Leduc, vice-president and general manager for the North America division. “Winning the second straight PWCToday.com Ski of the Year award chosen by real riders is the result of BRP’s dedication to developing designs and technologies that focus on improving the riders’ experience.”

The new Sea-Doo RXP-X commands attention on any waterway with an ominous visual appeal, the distinctive new ErgoLock system and the tight-turning T3 hull. BRP’s ErgoLock system received high praise for its angled footwell wedges and a gradually narrowing seat designed to better connect the rider to the watercraft. It reduces upper body fatigue by allowing the rider to ride with more confidence and less effort. BRP’s ErgoLock system compliments the tight turning aspect of the new, lean-in style T3 hull that test riders noted as providing near effortless turning capabilities.

“BRP continues to be a trendsetter,” stated Chris Dawson, vice-president and general manager, International division. “With the introduction of the Sea-Doo RXP-X* 260 watercraft, state of-the-art technologies designed to increase product performance allow BRP to maintain its status as the recognized industry leader in innovation.”

BRP’s Sea-Doo RXP-X 260 watercraft also won a 2012 Red Dot award earlier this year for product design in the transportation category. The Red Dot Design Awards is a prestigious international design competition in which more than 1,800 manufacturers and designers from 58 countries submitted a total of 4,515 product designs.
