THEY SAID WHAT? Personalwatercraft.com reviewed the Sea-Doo WAKE 155 and commented that “many serious riders – particularly the wakeskate crowd – actually prefer a PWC over a monster tow boat.Why? PWC are certainly inexpensive, cheap to run, and easy to tow, but they’re also small and maneuverable. They get up close to obstacles without sending them rocking, deftly maneuver around hit-filled parks, and get into shallower areas where bigger towboats fear to tread.

2014 SEA-DOO WAKE 155_ACTION7The 2014 Sea-Doo WAKE models are designed to deliver years of watersports fun for families and professionals alike. BRP’s Sea-Doo WAKE watercraft offer unmatched versatility by providing a first-class pull and exhilarating ride perfect for both beginner and professional boarders, skaters and tow sport enthusiasts. Learning to ride behind an iControl technologies-equipped Sea-Doo watercraft is easier, less intimidating, and more economical than behind a traditional powerboat. Both WAKE models are available with the exclusive Intelligent Throttle Control (iTC) system and include the exclusive 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.

The WAKE 155 model is ideal for the rider who tends to take short day trips on smaller bodies of water, is nimble, versatile in moderate chop and includes room for up to three riders. In addition to Ski mode, this model includes iControl and ECO mode. It features class-leading comfort and storage with 116.6 litres (30.8 US gallons) of usable space. The WAKE 155 comes equipped with a large swim platform with a fold-down reboarding step, mirrors, and the watercraft industry’s only WAKE package including; Ski mode, retractable ski pylon with three positions and spotter handles, removable board rack and exclusive WAKE graphics.

The 2014 Sea-Doo WAKE 155 is the preferred watercraft of Team Nike wake skater Nick Taylor. Taylor favors the WAKE 155 model for its economical operation and shallow water capabilities versus traditional boats and also its quick turnarounds and pick-ups thanks to the exclusive iBR system. Reliability is perhaps the most important standard feature for Taylor as he has amassed over 670 hours of saltwater use on his WAKE 155 watercraft over the past five years, an amount that would take the average owner over 19 years to accumulate.

Are you an aspiring wake skater? A weekend wake warrior? The world-class Nike Wake team’s choice of Wake watercraft, and official watercraft, are the Sea-Doo Wake 155 and Sea-Doo Wake Pro 215.

As professionals, the team logs a lot of time on the water. They have a combined 1,750 hours of use among their respective watercraft. The riders work with BRP engineers to develop features and accessories that help them push the sport in new directions and that are useful for the recreational wake enthusiasts. BRP’s wake-specific accessories can be added to and compliment  most Sea-Doo models to increase your wake fun amplitude.Retractable ski pylon thumbnail

The Retractable Ski Pylon is an accessory that provides a higher pull point for the rider. The higher the pull point, the easier it is for the rider to get up on top of the water and also aids in completing tricks. The design of many of the Sea-Doo watercraft makes it easy for a spotter to sit on the back comfortably and the pylon includes built-in grab rails. The pylon comes standard on the Wake 155 and Wake Pro 215 and can be added to the following non-suspension models: RXT X, GTX and RXT(except models with iS) as well as GTI & GTS (2011 and prior), GTR 2012 (and prior).

Wakeboard Rack ThumbnailAs you venture over the water searching for the perfect glassy cove to wake skate or wake board on, it can be tricky to hold onto your wakeboard while underway.  The Sea-Doo Wake Board Rack fits easily onto most Sea-Doo models and provides secure board storage for one wakeboard.  The device makes it much wake rackeasier, and safer, to carry your wake board while underway. The Wake Board rack fits the following models: GTX with iS, RXT and WAKE Pro 2010, GTI, GTS (2011 and prior), GTR 2012.

The importance of the pull and speed of the watercraft make all of the difference when pulling a boarder or skater to plane and providing a smooth pull.  One of the more recent features included on Sea-Doo WAKE models is Ski Mode. This feature helps every driver to become an expert driver by providing a consistent and smooth pull every time and Ski module thumbample low-end torque for a powerful pull with minimal fuel consumption. Ski Mode includes five acceleration ramp modes and you can pre-set your favorite settings to fit your skaters’ or boarders’ preferences. If your watercraft is 2011 or newer and does not include Ski Mode you can purchase the software that plugs into your diagnostic connector. The program includes all hardware necessary for installation. This Ski Mode module is available for 2011 and newer models with iBR (Intelligent Brake and Reverse).

Share your Sea-Doo weekend wake style when shredding in one of our Sea-Doo exclusive Freewave PFDs. The Freewave PFD is designed to complement the Sea-Doo Wake models and stand out in a crowd. The Freewave is durable and offers great range, ease of movement, comfort and added warmth. The outer Freewave PFD Menlayer is ultra-durable neoprene with soft, beveled PVC foam inserts. These PFDs include 2-woven straps with quick release buckles and strategically placed meshed panels.  They are comfortable with large cut armholes and a heavy-duty front zipper. The Freewave includes a split tail comfort design to ensure comfort on your Sea-Doo watercraft. The PFDs includes a D-ring for your Sea-Doo floating lanyard.  The Freewave comes in a variety of colors for men and ladies and we have a Jr. Freewave for the kids in the family.

Whether you are a recreational rider or aspiring wake professional or simply love all watersports, these accessories and gear can help you Sea-Doo just like one of the Nike Wake Skaters and Doo it in Sea-Doo style.

Nike wake team riders, Ben Horan, Andrew Pastura, Nick Taylor, Kevin Henshaw and Silas Thurman, utilize BRP’s Sea-Doo WAKE watercraft exclusively. These riders share trick tips and their insights behind the WAKE PRO 215 and Wake 155 models in the Nike “DOO IT” wake video shorts that can be seen in the Wake section on Sea-Doo.com, and Sea-Doo’s YouTube channel youtube.com/seadootv.

BOATING MAGAZINE says GET OFF YOUR ASPHALT with the Can Am Commander and Sea-Doo WAKE 155

Sea-Doo watercraft are arguably the most versatile vessel in the world and award winning Boating Magazine writer, David Seidman has made it his personal quest to prove this. Seidman has ridden Sea-Doo GTX watercraft from Alaska to Russia via the Bering Straight, fished for marlin in the gulf stream aboard a three seater and now wake skating on Smokey Mountain waters no boat has touched before.

 

Seidman coined the working title of his latest article “Get off Your Asphalt” to exemplify the possibilities of taking Sea-Doo watercraft where traditional boats simply can’t get to. Joining him on this adventure was the Nike Wakeskate team duo of Ben Horan and Yan Lecomte to a REMOTE location that normal tow vehicles could not reach. The tow vehicle for this, “over the mountain and through the woods…” trek would be the advanced and powerful Can-Am Commander XT side-x-side vehicle towing the official on-water tow vehicle of the Nike wakeskate team, the Sea-Doo WAKE 155 watercraft. These were the tools for the project deep in the mountains of North Carolina.  During their adventure they found themselves searching for water, challenged by mud, fallen trees, diverse terrain, and thrilled to discover virgin waters, perfect for wakeskating.
