Many will know Ken Block from his insanely viral “Gymkhana” videos, as a “talented World Rally Championship racer, X Games medalist and viral video trailblazer,” but did you know that Block also races for Can-Am (BRP)? In late 2015, BRP announced that Block and his Hoonigan team had partnered with BRP to highlight the performance capabilities of the Can-Am Maverick side-by-side vehicle. This relationship clearly has spread to all of BRP’s product line, as yet another GoPro Hero 4 video has sprung up over the weekend, featuring Block and his Hoonigan Racing teammate Andreas Bakkerud, at Lake Powell shredding up the water.
Powell, of course, has seen better days, as drought and California’s woeful mismanagement of an already dwindling water supply has left the lake several hundreds of feet below normal. Besides exposing miles of new shoreline, it’s also opened up secluded and otherwise unseen channels to explore. Previous videos have shown jet skiers charging the canyons, but the nimble nature and small size of the Sea-Doo Spark perfectly allows Block and Bakkerud access to ribbons of water that otherwise wouldn’t have been accessible.
The video below is a brief one, but shows the fun and playful nature of the Rec Lite craft. Thus far, the Sea-Doo Spark has constituted a serious percentage of total new personal watercraft sales. Its low entry price point, modular design (culminating in an impressive 48 different model options), and ease of use makes it a capable introduction to the sport – or as Ken Block demonstrates, a load of fun even for the experienced powersports enthusiast.
