“If I had gotten checked this time last year,
I wouldn’t be planning my own funeral today.”


Charlie Pester, Kingston, educator and role model

The Ride for Dad event started in 2000 as a result of that sentence and serves as an inspiration for many people in Canada to raise money for prostate Cancer awareness through local rides. The event originally stated out as a motorcycle ride and has grown over the years to include watercraft, snowmobiles and ATVs.

The first watercraft ride took place last weekend in Eastern Ottawa and there are two additional rides planned: Jul. 28 in Windsor, and Aug. 24 at the Ed Huck Marina in Rockport in Ontario.

How do they DOO it? The best wakeskaters in the world ride for Nike behind Sea-Doo watercraft and each has outfitted their Sea-Doo with accessories to take advantage of the ultimate tow vehicle. Whether you are pulling a wakeskater, wakeboarder or towing a tube with screaming kids, the accessories needed are all available at the Sea-Doo online store and in your local dealership.

Did  your PWC come with Ski Mode? Ski Mode makes acceleration consistent, no matter who is in the driving seat. It includes five acceleration modes so youcan pre-select and set the mode preferable for each skier’s style or preference. 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 module is available for 2011 and newer models with iBR (Intelligent Brake and Reverse).

Wakeboard Rack: an essential if wakeboarding is your ‘thing.’ Without a rack the riders will carry their boards or hold them in their hands when searching for the perfect waters. A wakeboard rack makes storage of your wakeboard and traveling with your board much easier! Sea-Doo has a wakeboard rack that is specially designed to fit our PWCs and are compatible with the following models: iS 2010 GTX, RXT, RXT-X & WAKE PRO, 2011 GTI and GTS, GTR 2012. Click here for more information on our Sea-Doo Wakeboard rack.

A great ride starts from a solid connection with the watercraft. Sea-Doo watercraft come equipped with an existing U-ring for towing, adding a Ski-Eye to this U-ring ensures a strong connection between the rope and the watercraft. If your model does not include a Ski-Eye, you can install one quickly and easily. The Ski-Eye is designed for the following models: GTX, GTS, GTI, RXT,2012 GTR, 2012 RXP-X, and can be used for pulling any type of skier or inflatable. For more information on the Ski-Eye click here.

 

Sea-Doo Wake models come equipped with a Retractable Ski Pylon that makes it easy for a spotter to sit on the back of the watercraft and includes built in grab rails. This ski pylon 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. The Retractable Ski Pylon fits the following models: RXT X, GTX, RXT, except models with iS, GTI & GTS (2011), GTR 2012. For more information on the Retractable Ski Pylon, click here.

A Sea-Doo Shock Tube protects passengers from ski rope kick back and helps keep the ski ropes away from the PWC impellers. This durable nylon covered, closed-cell foam Shock Tube provides riders with added peace of mind. The Shock Tube is installed closest to the watercraft for protection purposes.

Sea-Doo accessories will add ‘game’ to your towing activities and make you the envy of all of the other skiers, skaters or tubers out on the water!

BRP’s Sea-Doo watercraft have been selected to ensure the safety of participants during Red Bull Storm Chase 2012 windsurfing events around the world.

Red Bull Storm Chase brings together ten of the world’s best windsurfers to compete in what promises to be the roughest conditions on the planet. Three adrenaline-fuelled rounds will be held between now and November in any of seven stormy locations across Europe, Asia Pacific and North America.

“This partnership with Red Bull is an exciting opportunity for BRP, enabling us to showcase Sea-Doo watercraft and its acclaimed Intelligent Brake & Reverse technology (iBR) – the only braking technology in the industry.” said Chris Dawson, vice-president and general manager of BRP’s International division.

BRP and Red Bull have a shared passion for community, fun and adventure and a common quest to make good days great. Marking the first worldwide collaboration between the two companies, BRP is supplying Sea-Doo watercraft at the three Red Bull events, leveraging the global reach of its dealer and distribution network.

“We are pleased that BRP has come on board as an official partner at this year’s Red Bull Storm Chase. It is critical that we have the right processes and support in place when confronted with some of the toughest weather conditions around to ensure the contest remains under control,” said Klaas Voget, Sports Director for Red Bull Storm Chase 2012. “With BRP’s Sea-Doo PWC on hand, we are prepared for some huge waves.”

“BRP’s Sea-Doo watercraft have been recognized and used by worldwide organizations such as the French Red Cross, the US Cost Guard, the Australian water police authorities and Surf life saving as they facilitate and improve the safety of their rescue operations,” added Yves Leduc, vice-president and general manager, BRP North American division.
