When Sea-Doo originally released the Spark Rec-Lite series, it was intended to cater to a younger generation of buyers. Reasonably so, with its low entry-level pricing, it certainly sparked a new generation of watercraft itself.
Then Sea-Doo stepped up the game even further and came out with Spark Trixx which literally allows any rider to pull off water “wheelies” and various other stunts with ease.
For their spring/summer ‘21 collection, Supreme is releasing a special edition Spark Trixx with a custom graphics wrap.
Supreme is the iconic streetwear fashion company which also caters to a younger generation so we can imagine that this special edition Spark Trixx will spark a lot of interest with the audiences.
So far, there is no pricing announcement or set quantity to be made but judging by the overall market demand for watercraft and low supply, we don’t imagine to see a huge number of these special editions out on the water.

The Kymera company has come a long way since founder, James Woods began his quest to build an inexpensive and easy to haul PWC in 2004. He developed a prototype of a gas powered Kymera jetboard in 2011. In 2012, he built an electric jetboard, which could be charged using an outlet or solar power. Woods made two appearances on Shark Tank and it was during his second in 2013, that he struck a deal for his electric bodyboard.
In 2019, the Kymera K-X2 waverider was announced. The K-X2 is a lightweight personal watercraft, which can reach speeds up to 35 mph. It weighs in at a mere 70 pounds and is seven feet long. The watercraft comes apart into two pieces, making it super easy to transport to transport in a car, SUV, or a truck.
The machine operates on 10,000 watts of electric power and will keep you going for an hour on one charge. The K-X2 is set up for you to ride it on your knees, so an hour is probably sufficient. It does look fun in the video that is provided and it probably is fun if your knees can take a beating.
According the Kymera website, the K-X2 personal watercraft is currently sold out. When it’s available, it will come with a $6,495 price tag. Check it out and share your thoughts with us.
Sea-Doo Ambassador, Andrew Hill, catches his biggest haul yet from a Sea-Doo Fish Pro. You can watch him reel in a Kingfish that is almost the length of his 2021 Fish Pro in this YouTube video! The fish weighed almost 60 pounds! Hill is the official Sea-Doo Ambassador for the Fish Pro.
Hill has been fishing since he was a young boy, and he has parlayed his lifelong passion for fishing into a career with Sea-Doo. He lives in New Zealand with his wife and four kids. New Zealand is where he has spent a lifetime fishing and chasing the big one. With his Sea-Doo Fish Pro, he can reach remote locations and hit the shallows due the ski’s maneuverability.
He has a life he only dreamed about. He gets to ride every week, sometimes fishing alone, riding with friends, or taking a group out to fish in New Zealand. Northern New Zealand is his favorite place to ride. He likes that area because it is pristine has minimal fishing pressure. Hill also enjoys exploring areas that are unfamiliar to him due their tranquility and the excitement new territory brings.
Something he would like to see on the Sea-Doo Fish Pro is a front mounted rod holder. His favorite accessory is the Ultimate Reel Cover. It protects fishing reels from saltwater spray and secures the rod to the rod holder. Check out Andrew Hills latest YouTube video to watch him battle that huge Kingfish! Be sure to take a look at the all new 2021 Sea-Doo Fish Pro, so you can go on your own fishing excursion!
If you’re watching this because you’re in the market for one of Yamaha’s best-selling personal watercraft from 2020, you’re gonna want to start looking at Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace. That’s because Yamaha literally sold out of every single 2020 VX Deluxe WaveRunner. Offered in either Yamaha Blue and Yellow, or Ebony and Lime Green – like the unit we got to test ride today – Yamaha dealers across the globe ran out of these family-budget friendly watercraft well before the end of last summer.
And frankly, there’s little wonder why. Priced with an MSRP of $10,699, the VX Deluxe provides a stable-yet-playful platform to accompany 3-riders (although a trio of adults might be a little too close for comfort) that’s good for a spirited cruise around the lake, and plenty of built-in creature comforts to make the first-time buyer feel they’re getting much more than what they paid for. Toss in some pretty stellar fuel economy and Yamaha’s super-easy-to-operate RiDE dual throttle brake & reverse system, and you’ve got a tidy little package.
Beneath the tiered, two-tone sectional bench seat is a 1049cc 3-cylinder, 4-stroke TR-1 High Output Yamaha Marine Engine producing 125-horsepower on 87 octane. That might not sound like a heck of a lot, but when paired to its featherweight 664-pound dry weight, it makes for very responsive power-to-weight ratio. Yamaha shaves down the heft by using its proprietary NanoXcel material to provide a durable-yet-lightweight hull and deck.
Feeding the VX is an impressive 18.5 gallon gas tank, ensuring that you won’t be stopping at the fuel dock anytime soon. And to make sure you get the most mileage from that big tank, the VX Deluxe comes equipped with Cruise Assist and No Wake Mode, meaning you can find the perfect towing speed and easily navigate “No Wake” zones. Lastly, RiDE permits drivers to switch from forward to neutral to reverse with one pull of the left throttle for easier deceleration, reversing and docking.
Although phased out for 2021, the 2020 VX Deluxe came equipped with Yamaha’s Remote Transmitter, a small key fob that controls Low RPM Mode and Security Mode. Whether you use it to increase fuel-efficiency or disable the engine to prevent unauthorized use, this feature has since been integrated into the Yamaha Connext digital dashboard on the current models.
Storage capacity is a respectable 24.6 gallons split up between the bow, glove box (with two molded-in cup holders) and the screw-top rear storage bin beneath the rear passenger. A folding reboarding step is also standard, conveniently tucking up and away when not in use. Additionally, our VX Deluxe came to us with a couple of not-so-standard features that are available through Yamaha’s Parts & Accessories Catalog:
Namely, the VX Stern Mounted Storage bag and RAM-mounted EcoXGear Bluetooth speakers. The rear bag adds an extra 10.5-gallons of storage with zero drilling, and happens to be made from durable, weather resistant compression-molded black EVA foam – and even includes two side-mounted rod holders. The bag is handy but at $249.99 is pretty pricey, particularly as the drop-in cooler is sold separately for $129.99.
The dual 15-watt speakers easily pair to your smartphone, offer over 15 hours of playtime on a single charge, and are entirely waterproof! Heck, they even float! During testing, we found the sound quality to be pretty good but tends to drown out above 45mph. Priced at $349.99 the WaveRunner EX/VX Audio Package makes a decent option, particularly as factory-installed integrated sound systems weren’t made available on the VX series until the 2021 model line.
On the water, the VX Deluxe didn’t disappoint. The little 1-liter TR-1 HO has enough low-end grunt to pull a tube or wakeboarder at a progressive rate; for today and just having a single rider, it was enough to sprint up to plane with little trouble at all. Top speeds were in the low-50’s (52mph at 7,900rpm, to be exact). Sharing the same mold as the racy GP1800R, the VX’s hull is immensely predictable, tracking straight in choppier water, and going exactly where you point it without a lot of driver input.
Fit and finish is good, with doors and latches padded to keep panels from chattering too bad. The lighter panels feel a bit thin, but that’s too keep weight down. The rear view mirrors are fixed (really just reflective pieces that’ve been glued down) and the LCD dash cluster is spartan. No extra frills here. Again, with a redesigned successor already hitting dealerships as of this recording, and all current 2020 models being already snatched up, you’re going to have to scour the trade-ins and bulletin boards for your shot at one of these. But if you’re in the market, the 2020 VX Deluxe is definitely a smart purchase.

When the camera is on World Champion rider Mark Gomez, the results are usually epic. In his latest YouTube series, Mark takes everyone on the journey with him at this year’s Torrent Daytona Freeride.
This vlog is pretty unique and very cool because he not only shows us some of the awesome riding action and events of the 2021 Daytona Freeride, but also shows us a lot of the behind the scenes activities on the professional ride level including logistics of moving these skis and equipment around the country.
He also gives us a sneak peek look into the new Hydro-Turf/Marine Mat joint venture and what some of the manufacturing processes looks like. Be sure to stay tuned to his channel for upcoming and more in depth looks at this scene.
One additional neat item he shows us is his solution to flushing out and rinsing his gear after a ride in the salt water. It’s a mobile flush kit that frankly looks like it has been designed by a team of Kindergarteners and yet works immensely well.
The innovative 5-gallon can strapped inside an old milk crate with a series of hoses, valves, and quick-connects protruding out is the ingenious way to flush everything out on the beach. He simply hooks it up to a 12-volt battery and the pump works its magic.
So, check out this cool vlog video below for some more behind the scenes with Mark Gomez.
With nearly all boat shows cancelled this winter, many folks are turning to other measures to gather all of the necessary information to make a watercraft purchase.
Sea-Doo wants you to know that you don’t have to worry, they have your back with their extensive list of online tools to get you educated about products, help you decide which models are right for you, or to simply help you discover what’s new and exciting.
Want to see what is new this year or what changes Sea-Doo has made to the lineup? Check out this virtual tool that will take you through new products such as the all new RXP-X 300, new iDF system, or the revolutionary LCD full color display with integrated BRP connect.
New to watercraft altogether? Here is a video introduction of a lot of information on owning your first personal watercraft. There are even guides within this link that offer tips on operating and cleaning your new Sea-Doo as well as which cleaning products to use.
Think you’re ready to purchase that new Sea-Doo but still aren’t quite sure which model or features you need? Use their useful virtual shopping tool to narrow down which model is right for you.
Simply fill out a few questions including what type of riding you think you will do, how many people you plan to ride with, and price point, and the tool will automatically generate a list of Sea-Doo’s that fit your criteria.
So just because there aren’t any physical boat shows this year, doesn’t mean that you still can’t get a ton of information especially when it comes to Sea-Doo.
Sea-Doo has to walk a fine line when it comes to exhaust systems for performance watercraft. Certainly they don’t want to restrict their 300 ACE engines to the point that they lose horsepower, but on the flip-side, they’re forced to comply with federal noise restrictions and CAFE emissions standards. This, in turn, leaves the factory-equipped 300-horsepower Sea-Doo with a very restrictive – and complicated – exhaust system that frankly, leaves a lot left on the table – especially when it comes to letting that engine roar!
Thankfully, RIVA Racing doesn’t have to comply with any of those rules and now has a very cool Dual Rear Exhaust Kit for all ST3-based RXT and GTX Sea-Doosandthe new 2021-and-up RXP-X 300. Truly “uncork” your supercharged Sea-Doo with this beautifully CAD-designed system that includes mandrel-bent aluminum exhaust tubes (with bead-rolled lips) that that have been powder coated to prevent corrosion; large billet aluminum CNC-machined exhaust outlets, an OEM exhaust outlet block-off and high quality silicone couplers.
Not only are you improving engine performance by reducing back pressure and restriction, but you’re also removing the restrictive sound suppression system located between water box and hull exit, letting all of those ponies be heard when you romp on the throttle. If you thought the exhaust note of a single through-hull exhaust, wait until you hear this thing go! (Watch the video below for sure!) Best of all, this kit can be an upgrade for those already equipped with RIVA’s single Rear Exhaust Kit – and every bit of this kit is made in the USA. (note: not compatible with LinQ retractable ski pylon.)
