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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
