Sea-Doo has all new apparel for 2023. You can step up your game in some new good-looking outerwear in and out of the water. Products range from casual wear for cruising around town to technical wear to meet your needs on the water. They even made some subtle changes to the Men’s Neoprene Riding Jacket that we often write about. New goggles are available as well.

The Sea-Doo Riding Goggles provide protection from UV rays and they have anti-fog technology. You can get them with silver, green, or orange monochrome lenses. A couple of new colors of the Women’s Montego Jacket have arrived.  The design of the jacket has changed as well, and the price went up $20. The jacket is now $109.99 and comes in a sporty teal and black or violet and black. The Montego provides protection from the wind and cooler temperatures while on the water. It’s a stretchy lightweight jacket that gives you freedom to move.

When you’re finished riding, relax in a pair of sweats and a hoodie. These also double as clothes to wear while checking out the water conditions and drinking a hot cup of coffee. The sweatpants are a soft French Terry with slash pockets in the front and a back pocket. The Men’s French Terry Pullover Hoodie is super plush and completes the look either in smoke or light blue.

They have a cute pullover hoodie for the women. It’s a cotton and polyester blend with a kangaroo pocket to warm your hands or to stash your keys while checking out the water. Head over to the Sea-Doo website to check out the rest of the new goods for 2023.

The team at Candela recently announced the Candela C-8 ‘powered by Polestar’, the longest-range electric boat to date. In a collaboration with the premium electric car brand, Polestar, the project was able to come to fruition. The Candela C-8 is expected to have a range of 65 miles on one charge with a cruising speed of 35 miles per hour.

“This collaboration means that C-8 can travel to destinations previously only reachable by combustion engine boats. The Candela C-8 powered by Polestar marks a significant breakthrough for electrification at sea”, says Gustav Hasselskog, CEO and founder of boat maker Candela.

Check out the full press release below.
With up to 57 nm (65 US miles) of expected range and DC charging, the foiling Candela C-8 ‘powered by Polestar’ is designed to upend the hegemony of fossil fuel boats.

Today, the electric boatmaker Candela unveiled the first product emerging from the battery collaboration with premium electric car brand Polestar announced in August 2022: Candela C-8 ‘powered by Polestar’, the longest-range electric boat to date.

The Candela C-8 will use the same 69 kWh battery pack and DC charging technology as the Polestar 2 and has an expected range of up to 57 nautical miles (65 US miles) on one charge at a cruising speed of 22 knots (25 mph). The range is two to three times longer than what conventional electric speedboats can achieve at high speed and compares favorably with how internal combustion engine powerboats are used.

“This collaboration means that C-8 can travel to destinations previously only reachable by combustion engine boats. The Candela C-8 powered by Polestar marks a significant breakthrough for electrification at sea”, says Gustav Hasselskog, CEO and founder of boat maker Candela.

Usage data from Europe’s premier boat-sharing service Agapi, with fleets in several locations in Europe, from Helsinki to Mallorca, show that 95% of their members’ day excursions are less than 50 nautical miles, or well within the range of Candela C-8.

The secret to the long range lies in Candela’s hydrofoil technology. Flying above the waves on computer-guided underwater wings that greatly reduce water friction, the C-8 uses 80% less energy than conventional boats at high speed. Its highly efficient pod motor, Candela C-POD, outputs 75 kW/100hp for takeoff. Once foilborne, the C-8 flies efficiently, drawing only around 23 kW/30hp continuously from its Polestar battery pack – whereas a similar-sized conventional boat would use around 120 kW/160hp.

The Polestar collaboration also enables DC charging in Candela C-8, which opens up new routes and future-proofs the boat as DC charging networks are rolled out along coastlines.

“With access to DC fast chargers, which now start to pop up in several places around the globe, you can cover totally new routes with Candela C-8. You can go from Sweden to Finland in one day, or along the entire French Riviera in a few hours. For a few euros/dollars’ worth of electricity”, says Gustav Hasselskog.

The supply of battery and charging systems to a third party, a first for Polestar as an EV manufacturer, marks the start of a broader intended partnership between Polestar and Candela.

“Sharing our know-how on batteries and vehicle engineering with Candela will help us reach our shared goal of transitioning to a future where all forms of transport are sustainable,” says Thomas Ingenlath, CEO Polestar.

Whether you own a supercharged Ultra 250, 260, 300, or 310 or a naturally aspirated Ultra LX, STX, or SXR JetSki, Kawi Performance out of West Babylon, NY has innovative performance products every Kawasaki enthusiast will love.

“We live and breathe Kawasaki watercraft, so there really isn’t much we cannot do. We build the best and most reliable motors, our parts speak for themselves, and we are always moving forward designing and developing new products.”

In the past, if a customer lost both their SLO and Fast Kawasaki immobilizer keys, they would have been required to purchase a new (and very expensive) ECU! That has all changed. Kawi Performance now offers a Lost Key Reprogramming service that enables them to provide customers with replacement keys for a fraction of the cost.

KP’s Lost Key Reprogramming Service for the Ultra 300/310/STX 160 is $350.00 while their service for the Ultra 250/260/LX/STX 15F is $300.00. Customers must cover the cost to ship their ECUs to Kawi Performance in New York. Turnaround time is typically a quick 1-4 business days.

Besides offering sets of OEM keys, Kawi Performance also offers a custom line of KP- branded immobilizer keys in black, yellow, green, pink, and blue, as well as the OEM programming tool and adapter that is required if customers wish to add up to 6 additional keys at home on their own.

KP-branded Keys retail for $49.99 each, while OEM Fast or SLO keys are $58.22 each. If you wish to have Kawi Performance program your keys for you, there is an additional  $75.00 programming charge, per key. KP’s in-house programming allows them to add an unlimited number of keys to customers’ JetSkis.

If you buyers wish to program their own spare keys at home, the OEM Kawasaki Programming Adapter tool is sold for $35.80 and the special Adapter Cable (Required for 300/310/2012+ Ultra LX/15F and STX 160 models) is available for $19.99.

KP specializes in making fleet keys as well, so if a rental business has 20 skis, they can make a master key that works across their entire fleet, or make all the machines have interchangeable keys- so labeling them is no longer required.
