Gallery: The “Bout Time” Barren River Lake, KY MTPWC Ride (Video)

We had only received our 2019 Sea-Doo Wake Pro 230 a couple of weeks earlier and frankly, hadn’t had the time to fully break-in the Sea-Doo’s supercharged engine. Per the manufacturer’s recommendation, the “Break-In Period” takes 10 hours before the watercraft can be operated at full throttle for a sustained period.

The occasional burst of speed is perfectly fine – in fact, during this period, it’s prolonged wide open throttle or even cruising speeds that are detrimental during the break-in period. Basically, you’re supposed to change things up quite often. Just don’t keep the engine at one speed for more than 30 seconds at a time.

Unfortunately, that was going to be a tall order to fill as we joined the Middle Tennessee Personal Watercraft Club for its ride on the Barren River Lake today. Joining a couple dozen others for the first ride of the season, we knew it would be the perfect opportunity to push our Sea-Doo Wake Pro past the 5 hours mark, allowing us access to full speed.

Sea-Doo limits its supercharged 230 and 300 series engines during the first 5 hours of operation. This is done by the engine management system to protect itself from immediate strenuous use. Once the Sea-Doo surpasses the 5 hour mark, engine performance will progressively increase, allowing the runabout to reach its peak top speed.

Since we were riding with a large group and with underage passengers, we kept the Sea-Doo’s Intelligent Throttle Control program in “Touring” mode. Sport mode would have to wait until we racked up the required 10 hours of operation.

Today’s forecast was less than appetizing as well; gray skies with low hanging clouds, cooler-than-normal temperatures and a lingering threat of rain leading towards thunderstorms later in the afternoon. While we donned our swimsuits, long sleeve shirts and hoodies were worn beneath our Slippery life vests.

Excited to explore Kentucky’s 10,100 acre Barren River Lake for the first time, we were impressed to see its water levels some 18 feet above normal, increasing its maximum depth of 118 feet closer to 130 feet.

At an elevation of 465 feet we weren’t much higher than our own hometown lake of Old Hickory. Following the pack of naturally aspirated and supercharged Yamaha FX’s and a lone 300-horsepower Sea-Doo GTX Limited, we ventured through the serpentine river valley, around its 3 islands and deep into its many fingers.

Although normally intended for pulling wake boards, skaters and the occasional raft, we opted to leave the retractable ski pylon that comes standard to the Wake Pro 230 at home, equipping the 4.2-gallon LinQ Cooler to the rear.

Stocked with snacks, drinks and ice, the 4.2 gallon (or 16-liter) cooler is molded short, so we went with smaller sized water bottles or sodas. We happily stopped for a granola bar or a handful of trail mix between longer stretches of our 80 mile excursion, enjoying the peace and quiet that comes with riding up to a deserted stretch of water.

After lunch at the Barren River Lake State Resort Park and later topping off our skis’ fuel tanks, we scampered off for a few more miles of exploration. Clouds had gathered overhead by this time and the smooth water we had enjoyed in the morning was starting to churn.

Although priced with an MSRP of $14,799, our Wake Pro gratefully came to us from Sea-Doo with the optional BRP Premium Audio System, allowing us to sing along to some of our favorite songs as we rode.

Sure, our signing leaves much to be desired, but the clear crisp sound coming from our speakers was music to our ears. As we’ve said before, if you’re planning on purchasing a new ST3-based Sea-Doo this year, don’t do so without the Premium Audio package. Seriously.

By this time, our group leader, Tom Hill had planned on navigating a path for us to see the lake’s dam by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers back in 1964, but the first drops of rain began to spatter down.

As we sped back so did the rain fall. Knowing our time was short (if not completely up), we circled around towards the launch ramp and began the process of packing up and strapping down our machines for the drive home.

With our Wake Pro 230 finally broken in, we know were ready to kick off the riding season in style. Once again, it was a real treat to join the Middle Tennessee Personal Watercraft Club for another one-day adventure and look forward to many more to come.

Video: Boise Fire Department up a River Without a PWC

An unfortunate incident on the Boise River left the Boise Fire Department without its Jetcraft XS SJ jet boat. The department’s Jet Ski was also recently damaged. The guys are literally up a creek without a paddle and no way to clear the river of debris. The timing is extremely bad due to the fact that “float season” is soon to start. It’s important to clear the river of trees and other objects that can impair or injure people floating downstream.

“We’re not really sure how that’s going to occur this year,” Boise Fire spokeswoman Char Jackson told the Statesman Wednesday. “We’re working on a plan to clear that debris, utilizing something else.”

The department may end up contracting out the tree removal since there are no similar boats available.

As far as the latest incident, shore-based rescue techniques have been a staple of the department since getting the jet boat in 2012. The firefighters are well trained in the event of a rescue and often practice on the river, so they were ready when their recent training exercise turned into a rescue. Their jet boat smashed into a Broadway Bridge pillar and the engine filled with water and the men immediately went into rescue mode. Two firefighters had to be rescued by another team using ropes to hoist them to the top of the bridge. One firefighter was able to escape the wreckage and swim to shore.

The jet boat is currently under evaluation by insurers who will determine if it can be repaired.

The department’s Jet Ski suffered damage last month after the motor sucked up debris and rope. It’s currently being repaired. Paul Roberts, Boise Fire Division Chief of Special Operations, said the PWC is more prone to damage from debris in high water, so it’s not ideal to use in the river at this time. The water is just too high.

Hopefully, the Boise firefighters will soon be back in the water rescue business.

Coffee With Krista: Meet 24-Year-Old Latvian Racer Krista Uzare

The Watercraft Journal sat down for a coffee with Krista Uzare, #95 the 24-year-old Latvian who took the world by storm in her first two years of international racing. A fractured tibula meant she could only sit on the sidelines of the first Grand Prix of the season.

“When I first tried jet skiing, my ski actually sank, I was going so slowly it filled with water and just sank, for many years I didn’t want to try it again. I thought that this was a message and it wasn’t meant to be for me.

“My father raced, so I was just happy to travel with him and watch, until one day I realized that it was no more fun just to watch the racing. I wanted to try it again; I had a message I think. It was half way through the 2010 season when I began to race, like normally.

“That year, Dad took us to Lake Havasu for the World Finals; I was so slow I didn’t even qualify so I am sure that there are no records of me racing. I raced with my friends in Latvia and did some Baltic events. Then three years ago my jet ski idol, the Austrian Kevin Reiterer came to Latvia to give us a training camp.

“He asked me why I was only racing at my local club and encouraged me to apply to join the World Series. That winter I applied and they agreed, I thought how better could it get just to race with the fastest girls in the world.

“I didn’t have any goals, it was just so awesome. At the last round in United Arab Emirates I finished on the podium 2nd step and finished the season third overall, I could see I could actually do it, I went home and trained harder, I had to set myself a much bigger goal.

“Then in my second year taking the 2018 world title, well I couldn’t believe how amazing that felt.

“I knew my rivals would be training harder for this year so I trained even harder. Running, cycling, cross-fit, cardio, I do everything, the more the better because for jet ski we need a diverse range of things.

“I eat healthy, I eat a lot of meat and I don’t eat sweets or junk. I am hard on myself; I am strict whatever needs to be done. I just do it. I am my own trainer and motivator. Every year I say that I have never been fitter especially this winter.

“I always have a rivalry with my dad and it was always one of my goals to beat him. Finally after the long winter training, this spring I was actually able to be faster than him. I was stronger than ever and determined to defend my position this season, and then the leg happened.

“This is my first ever injury, I wasn’t even crying, I just took it. Disappointed not to be racing in the first Grand Prix, yes, but I have been thinking why did it happen, so many factors that all happened to be in one place. What was the probability of it happening, it is so low, which makes you think. I believe in some signs.

“It is still snowing back home, so coming to the GP gives me a chance to observe how the other girls race and I have my tablet with 20 books still to read. It’s really hard to travel with crutches, I can’t even imagine for some people that have much more difficulty.

“Eventually I would really love to be on a team, so I can just train and race all of the time, but I have to work too. I’m a Financial Analyst in a bank, I love finances, I like to learn and I read a lot of books, so my life isn’t just sports.

“Time flies so I hope it goes quickly for the leg but I expect that I will skip round two. I will be back for China the UAE and India and will be stronger than ever.

Real Review: Jet Pilot Matrix Pro Jacket & John Wetsuit

By

If you’ve been in the jet ski community for any amount of time, you’ve probably heard good things about Jet Pilot wetsuits and gear! An upstanding name in the watersport community – Jet Pilot not only offers extremely comfortable, stylish, and stretchy wetsuits, but also apparel, gloves, shoes, and more.

I had the opportunity to wear the 2019 Jet Pilot Matrix Pro jacket and john over the winter here in Texas. Despite having 4 other wetsuits, the Matrix Pro is always my go-to suit. I’ve worn wetsuits from Jettribe, Slippery, Body Glove, Roxy, and a few other lesser known brands over the years and all of them kept me warm and did what they needed to do. Not bad brands by any means, but Jet Pilot suits are steps above!

What makes Jet Pilot my brand of choice for the last few years is the comfort, reliability, usability, and affordability that outperforms the rest. The Matrix Pro jacket and john are both 2mm thick, and when combined your core has a nice, toasty 4mm thick layer of soft, breathable neoprene to block out the cold.

Have I mentioned how soft these suits are? Seriously, even after a full day on the water not even a whisper of skin chafe or irritation. They are so stretchy that even my wider female hips fit comfortably into a men’s wetsuit with no odd bunching or overly stretched areas. That is a thing of beauty since women are a decidedly smaller market in the motorsports community. Ill fitting women’s apparel runs rampant, but no fear, Jet Pilot uses top-notch neoprene and also offers dedicated women’s wetsuits.

The Matrix Pro’s smooth neoprene lends itself to easy entry and exit. So instead of getting a workout just getting into your wetsuit, you can focus your physical efforts on riding and not gearing up. Since this is a two-piece suit, the 2mm john uses velcro on one shoulder to assist getting the suit on and off. If you are like me and have large heels, the leg zippers are a welcome feature to help get the big feet through small, leg-hugging wetsuit bottoms.

And I can’t forget the grippy 3mm shin pads. I’ve tested these out in races, and they grip the tray on a start better than other brands I’ve tried. Plus you get a little bit more protection than bare shin bone! The Matrix Pro 2mm jacket is simple to adorn with it’s large front zipper that is easy to grasp even with cold fingers.

OK, it is soft, stylish, and easy to get in and out of, but we’re not going for a stroll at the mall. Does the wetsuit keep you warm when riding? Yes, despite Texas winters being mild, for a thinner wetsuit the Matrix Pro has a wide effective temperature range.

Obviously, temperature comfort is different for each person, but speaking in broad terms this suit will do exactly what you ask of a 2mm suit, and when combined with john and jacket, a 4mm core.

I preferred this Matrix Pro over a dedicated 2/3mm one-piece wetsuit just because of its flexibility. In mild temperatures the john was comfortable by itself, and when the cold fronts rolled in I grabbed the jacket and enjoyed some warmth on those cloudy winter days.

Though wetsuits are known for cold weather, they are also great options for protection when racing or enjoying spirited recreational riding. Having the buoyancy and protection of a wetsuit is welcome when ejected from your ski. Water can be harsh at 70mph!

The john can offer year-round leg protection for those stand up riders looking to reduce small cuts and bruises from the dreaded knee and shin bash on the movable pole and handlebars! Sit downs seats are also known for chafing the inner leg so suit up with the Matrix Pro and avoid that discomfort all together!

The 2019 Matrix Pro jacket and john are available in three color combos to fit your needs. The grey/black is featured here, with other options being red/blue and green/black. At just $119.99 for the jacket and $164.99 for the john, the Matrix Pro is a comfortable, effective investment to add to your riding kit!

Yamaha Celebrates Brian Baldwin’s Wins at Pensacola Beach

Brian Baldwin, a member of Yamaha’s factory team, threw down the gauntlet during competition in the first round of Pro Watercross. The race was held May 4th and 5th at Pensacola Beach, FL. Saturday’s conditions were heavy consisting of rough seas and sketchy weather. The racers pushed on and Brian Baldwin scored top honors in the Pro-Am R/A Box Stock Class. He was riding the RIVA Powered 2019 Yamaha FX SVHO. It’s a beast of a machine outfitted with RIVA’s new FX handling package, which includes RIVA Ride Plate, Intake Grate, Sponsons, and Steering System.

The RIVA Ride Plate enabled Baldwin to increase his top speed and masterfully handle his PWC. The deep channels enabled Baldwin to put the hammer on the throttle while still controlling the watercraft at high speeds. His machine was able to hold a harder edge during high speed turns, which worked in Baldwin’s favor considering the rough conditions. The complete FX handling package was put to the test during Saturday’s “wash cycle” conditions. Both the weather and water were turbulent. Baldwin didn’t back down and handled his competitors and unruly conditions like a boss!

RIVA Racing’s own master engine tuner, Jesus Garcia went to work reflashing the ECU with the MaptunerX tuning system, giving Baldwin’s Yamaha WaveRunner even more horsepower. He turned it up! The RIVA powered Yamaha FX SVHO allowed Baldwin to push the limits and score top honors in the Pro-Am R/A Box Stock Class after winning all three motos, making him the dominant performer. It was either go home or go big and Baldwin went big!

A few familiar, but perhaps unexpected, faces, a few big waves (ok, a lot), some parking pandemonium, one of the most welcoming, and fun, host hotels on this (or any) tour, a good amount of mentorship and sportsmanship, and a heaping helping of wire-to-wire, no-holds-barred, trash-talking, throttles-pinned racing – that pretty much sums up Pro Watercross’ round two, and the tour’s first ever visit to iconic Daytona Beach. Add in some much-anticipated plans for the addition of transponders to the Pro Watercross Tour, and you have a Round Two that lived up to any and all hype that preceded it.

“Daytona beach was a challenging site with 3-4 foot tide swings, and 2-4 foot swells made it tough to keep the course perfect all day, but the track crew made it happen,” PWX Race Director Robert Sand said. “The Racers also met the fury of the ocean but were able to shore start this weekend compared to Pensacola that had rolling starts for the big crafts. The timing of the waves (made) for some very exciting starts and serious air! Surf races will take its toll on your equipment, body, and mind – but ask any racer how it was.”

And from the hard-hitting racing and the enthusiastic social media posts seen during the Daytona weekend, the excitement and challenge of surf racing more than makes up for the toll! Early season predictions and forecasts touted after round one’s Pensacola battles got shaken up a little bit with the appearance of a few game changers at Daytona – namely the return of Jimmy WIlson and Eric Lagopoulos.

Neither Wilson nor Lagopoulos tiptoed back into the shallow end, either. Nope, both men dove straight back into the deep end, tackling multiple classes and battling against some of the most respected names in the sport (Snyder, Baldwin, and Nehme, to name a few), as well as some of the sport’s hottest rising stars (if you haven’t heard the names Richuk, Hunt, Lezcano or Perez, you’ve not been paying attention!).

With a seemingly endless supply of stamina, Lagopoulos snagged the top podium spot for the weekend in all four classes he raced; including two sweeps. The new Pro Watercross Supercourse 300+ race, which started the race day both Saturday and Sunday morning with an energetic and crowd-pleasing LeMans start, was two tough-fought 20-minute motos, with Pensacola’s 2nd and 3rd place finishers, Graham Hunt (2-3) and Dennis Mack (6-1) not giving Lagopoulos (1-2) any slack, or a free ride.

In both the IROC Stock and IROC GP classes, Lagopoulos ran the board, taking 1st place in all three motos in both classes, with strong challenges from Valentina Lezcano (7-2-2) in GP and Dominic Perez (2-2-2) in Stock. Lagopoulis’ final class entry started out rough, with a 6th place finish in moto 1 of Pro-Am Runabout GP, falling to the back of the pack behind Brian Baldwin (1-6-6), Troy Snyder (4-3-2), Dylan Osborn (3-4-3), Juan Lezcano – the other half of the double-trouble brother-sister team from Miami Jet Ski Shop – (5-2-4), and Dennis Mack (2-5-5). Motos 2 and 3 were another story, however, with Lagopoulos taking the checkered flag in both.

Jimmy Wilson (who not only hit the race course, but brought Preston and Julianne with him, much to the delight of the entire race family!) may have been riding borrowed machines, but he proved that his legendary talent is all his, as he pulled a hat trick in Sport Stock, edging out two young guns, Haden Skellett (3-2-2) and Sammy Nehme (2-4-3), and battling back from a 9th place moto 1 finish in Pro-Am Ski Stock to take a 1st in moto 2 and a 2nd in moto 3, just missing the podiums, thanks to the superb riding of Matthew Richuk (1-2-1), Callaway Turner (2-3-4) and Broc Harris (3-5-3).

Pro-Am Ski GP may not have had any surprise new entries, but the power lineup behind the band echoed the exciting motos from Pensacola, and the packed-line class, with a dozen entries at Daytona, promises to be one of the season’s fiercest competitions. Dustin Motzouris snagged the top podium spot, missing out on a sweep with a loss to his brother Tyron (5-11-1) on the final moto. But the class was not an easy win, and he faced a triple-threat challenge from Craig Warner (2-3-3), Isaiah Washington (4-2-4) and Derek Powell (3-4-9).

In both the GP and Stock Ski Classes, Camden Powell continued the success of his Pensacola run, pulling a hat trick in GP and a 1-8-1 effort in Stock, and securing the top podium spot in both classes at Daytona. In similar fashion, Matthew Richuck took the top podium spot in Pro-Am Ski Stock class with 1-2-1 finishes against a stacked, talent-packed line of 13, not quite matching his sweep of the motos that he accomplished in Pensacola, but walking away with the overall win nonetheless.

Nailing down a solid first-place finish with a clean sweep of the Amateur Runabout Box Stock class, fan favorite Mo Salhi, of Morocco, also secured a respectable 3rd-place finish in Ski 4-stroke Stock, coming in behind 2nd-place finisher Luis Velay (3-5-3) and 1st place racer Isaiah Washington (2-2-2). The remaining classes at Daytona featured equally-fierce battles, big names and up-and-comers.. But this reporter has once again exceeded her allotted word count, so all I can say is, Join us at the new PWX race venue, South Padre Island, for Round 3 on June 1-2.

And as for the transponder talk, “Yes!! Pro Watercross racing is going full transponders by the 4th round at Racine, Wisc.,” Sand told The Watercraft Journal this morning. “The system will have all kinds of features and I think this will really help the scoring, times, speeds etc. Stay tuned for some results.”

During this past week, the 2nd Round of the Pro Watercross Tour was held in Daytona Beach, Florida. It was a great event with some good competition from the racers. A congratulations is in order for Troy Snyder as he once again finished on top of the podium. He finished first in the Pro-Am Box Stock Class and finished second in the Pro-Am Runabout GP Class. All his hard work has landed him as the leader in points in both of these classes.

Along with Snyder, Yamaha had a great overall performance with many of their races finishing with great times. Troy Snyder races a 2019 FX SVHO WaveRunner. With tasteful mods made by his sponsors: Dean’s Team, Snyder Built, Judge Motorsports and Broward Motorsports. The Watercraft Journal has written many articles regarding these companies and the products they make. Troy Snyder and the success he has had this season is a testament to these companies and their products.

Remember, Round 3 of the Pro Watercross Tour will be June 1 in South Padre Island, Texas.
