Every jet ski rider knows that staying organized and dry is half the battle when you’re bouncing from one launch ramp to the next. That’s where KSpeed’s Water Resistant Duffel steps in—a rugged, do-it-all gear bag built for the realities of life on (and around) the water.
At first glance, the KSpeed duffel looks like a premium piece of adventure gear—and that’s exactly what it is. Constructed from durable, waterproof PVC tarpaulin with welded seams, it shrugs off spray, rain, and deck wash like it’s nothing. Whether you’re hauling it in the footwell of a ski, in the bed of a truck, or stowing it on a chase boat, this bag is built to take the abuse.
What really sets it apart is its versatility. KSpeed designed the duffel with both padded carry handles and adjustable backpack straps, so it transitions seamlessly from the dock to the trail. A large waterproof zipper opens to reveal a spacious main compartment that swallows helmets, wetsuits, towels, or tools with room to spare. Internal organization pockets help keep smaller items from sinking to the bottom, while reflective accents add a layer of visibility during those early morning or after-dark rides.
Of course, the KSpeed Water Resistant Duffel isn’t just for riders packing a change of clothes. It’s equally at home carrying fishing tackle, safety gear, or even a quick lunch for a long day on the lake. And thanks to its watertight build, it can also double as a safe way to transport camera gear while on the water—something that’s especially important if you’re a PWC race photographer, or have ever thought about becoming one.
After all, documenting the high-speed world of personal watercraft racing is both an exciting and surprisingly profitable pastime. For those looking to dip a toe into this hobby—and maybe even turn it into a side hustle—we’ll be kicking off a new multi-part guide here on The Watercraft Journal dedicated to getting started in PWC race photography.
In our next installment, we’ll look at beginner-friendly gear setups specifically suited for watersports photography—from entry-level cameras and lenses to filters, monopods, slings and, yes, the right bags to keep it all protected. And along the way, we’ll be talking with some of the sport’s top photographers, videographers, and drone pilots to learn their tips, tricks, and how they capture the action like pros.
