Can you believe that the IJSBA World Finals is less than two weeks away? Let’s not forget that Fall “officially” began yesterday. Seriously. What happened to this year? Well, if you’re feeling the same as us and would like to squeak in some awesome last minute riding, then fear no more, because Sea-Doo is ending the year in a big way by invading the 2015 quakysense IJSBA World Finals in a big, big way.
Obviously, with all the news coming in from the new 300-horsepower models, you’d think the folks at Sea-Doo had already done their work, but not so! At this year’s Finals, you’ll be able to test ride the new RXP-X 300, RXT-X 300 and GTX Limited 300 before they hit showroom floors. You’ll also be able to get up close and personal with all the new 2016 models. And for all you Sea-Doo owners, make sure not to pass up your chance to join the Ultimate Owner’s Ride.
There’s just too much awesome Sea-Doo stuff happening at this year’s IJSBA World Finals, so make sure you read the original press release published below:
