“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.

Congratulations to Eric Lagopoulos for for winning the American debut of the P Aqua X in Daytona recently on his RXP-X 260 …2nd place winner was Kevin Wassum, also on a RXP-X 260. Notice all of the black and yellow on the lineup?

The first P1 Aqua X event was conducted in Daytona Beach, Florida in challenging surf and saw the majority of the participants competing for the first time…ever. It was a veteran racer, Eric Lagopoulos who took the overall win on a Sea-Doo RXP-X but for the dozen first timers it was a victory in simply being a part of it. Most noted that the racing bug has now bit them and they look forward to riding their Sea-Doo in future competitions. Watercraft racing has existed since the early 1980s but it hasn’t been since the recent growth of the HydroDrag drag racing series and now the P1 AquaX series that new faces have experienced what Sea-Doo watercraft can provide those with the competitive spirit.

Do it like the Professionals…The Sea-Doo accessories behind the Nike Wake Team

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.

All of the Sea-Doo Wake accessories and gear can be purchased through the Sea-Doo online store and at your local dealer.
