Hey, remember when The Watercraft Journal attempted to race across the entire state of Florida (west-to-east-to-west again)? While we were held up by some delinquent government employees thus thwarting our plans for world domination (or at least some bragging rights), our friends at Sea-Doo thought to take things a little more down to earth, and enjoy a sun up to sun down ride nearly mirroring our world record attempt, that is from east to west.
The result is a great video heralding “the Sea-Doo Life” – the 2016 advertising campaign for the watercraft manufacturer – and featuring three of the brand’s favorite (and photogenic) riders: Erminio Iantosca, Ashley Sponaugle and Cody Hawkins. As soon as the video broke, the riders (and many more Sea-Doo fans) quickly shared it on their personal social media pages;
Ashley Sponaugle wrote, “Had such a blast riding across the state of Florida from sun up to sun down… We chased the sun over 250 miles on 300HP Sea-Doos! Couldn’t ask for more perfect day and adventure on the water!”
While the YouTube post writes the following description: “Your free time is valuable. You want to make the most from the time you have. You want to live every moment between sunrise and sunset. Making the most of every minute is what the Sea-Doo Life is all about. It’s a challenge to Race the Sun for maximum fun. Having 300 horsepower puts the odds in your favor too.
“This challenge was accepted by several Sea-Doo enthusiasts and captured on video over one single day, a true race against the sun…and slow speed zones, and locks, and snack breaks, and bathroom breaks, and rope swings, and… watch the full version.”
