DIVEIN Boating released its list of  10 Best Electric Surfboards in 2023 and the Radinn Carve received top honors with the Radinn Freeride coming in fourth. The Carve is the top of line with its ability to perform and literally carve like a knife through the water with ease. Add a pair of foot straps, and you can take the air.

DIVEIN Boating calls riding it a totally awesome experience and it’s a great performance board. The Radinn Carve gives the rider the capability to take their riding experience to the next level.

With its twin fins, you can easily set your rail when turning, weaving across the water, or dropping in on a wave. Remove the fins for a looser ride, which will be a little challenging at first. You can slide across the water and pull off some spins by going finless.

Radinn Electric Jetboards offer more battery time and faster speeds than other electric jetboards. The boards are quiet and well built. The Carve is shorter than the fourth ranked Radinn Freeride, giving it the edge when it comes to performance and playfulness.

The Freeride was tops for beginners with its ease of riding while the Carve was named best overall.

“The Radinn Carve is one that deserves comparatively more praise for its design and-primarily-the experience you get carving through the water. The Carve has one of the best systems we’ve seen of all jetboards out there”-DIVEIN Boating.

We were scoping out Unlimited PWC’s Instagram when we spotted Valentina wearing some sharp looking new Unlimited gear. Upon further investigation, we tracked down Lezcano’s Instagram and Facebook accounts for more details. We discovered she and Christopher Landis would sign with Unlimited Racing for the 2023 season. Lezcano stated, “We are proud to announce that we will be signing with Unlimited Racing for the 2023 season. We both were looking for a company to give us that extra edge in our program and Unlimited stepped up huge for us.”

We are stoked for them too and we want to tell you about the gear they are wearing in the photos. Lezcano and Landis are outfitted in the Unlimited Rush line.

Lezcano is wearing the Competition Coat in ash white. It is available in black and red as well. This is the perfect coat to wear with your wetsuit in the fall and winter months.

The Competition Coat isn’t your average tour coat. It has a tighter body line and allows for freedom of movement when riding. Wrists are fitted with a Velcro enclosure to keep you free to operate the accelerator.

The coat is made of 2.5mm flex chloroprene with a high neck and hood to protect you from the wind and cold. It is long enough to cover your lower back when you sit down.

We like that it doesn’t ride up when you sit. Both riders are wearing the 2023 Unlimited Rush Set in Ash White with a matching lifejacket. The Rush Wet Pants and Rush Wetsuits John and all the details can be found on the Unlimited PWC website.

Congratulations to Valentina and Christopher for this great partnership and opportunity!

Navarac is a start-up company out of Turkey that has been in the boat building business since 2018. The team designed the Volster to be a fully electric powered cruiser, which is made for comfort during those long days on the open water. The boats are built in a sustainable manner and are environmentally friendly, powered by a 6kW electric motor.

The 16-foot vessels are sleek with long drawn-out lines creating a fluid appearance. The high sides make for a deep interior with a large amount space for passengers. The Volster is a stylish vessel and comes with the brand’s signature electric lighting. Its hydrodynamic design with its reduced resistance hull enables it to move through waves with ease. The 6kW electric motor make the boat extremely efficient and with zero emissions.

The all electric Volster also allows you to cruise in silence. The boat is equipped with high efficiency power electronics and Navarac’s signature lighting. An onboard computer allows to view all the important elements of your travel, like how much energy is remaining.

You can also see the status of your solar power and more from the cruise computer. Cruise at 3 knots using only solar energy while your battery rests. The Navarac brand seeks to create the most efficient electric boats on the market. Check out the all new Navarac Volster Electric Boat and other vessels in the Navarac line on the website.

Jeremy McKane is an underwater cinematographer, tech entrepreneur, artist, and philanthropist. Most of all, he’s a guy who loves the ocean and does a lot to protect it. He started The Ocean Currency Network, an Ethereum Blockchain solution which measures and quantifies the value of marine protected areas using tech and AI. He went even further in 2019 and founded the Ultramine Ocean Action Summit.

This endeavor brought a diverse group of people together to talk and come up with solutions to protect our oceans. McKane’s goal is to inspire others to find their passion for protecting the world’s oceans. In the words of Jacques Cousteau “people will protect what they love, but they cannot love what they don’t understand.”

McKane has aligned his vision with Cousteau’s and that is to get people out there and to teach them to love it. That’s where Radinn Electric Jetboards come into play. Radinn Jetboards are perfect for getting people out there and having fun while learning about the ocean.

McKane says “there’s a certain comfort level for somebody who’s just getting used to the ocean. Trying to understand the dynamics of the currents and all these things. The Radinn is the perfect entry point to help take people to the next level. It has the capability of creating a navy of ocean conservationists.” Another cool thing about riding a Radinn Jetboard is that you don’t even need surf to ride, just give the wireless hand controller a squeeze and make your own waves!

If you live near Rockford IL, and are into motocross, then chances are you’ve heard of Rocky Glen OHV. This 120-acre recreation park features more than 20 miles of trails and four different tracks for ATVs, dirt bikes, UTVs, and quads- and is now partnering with Great Lakes Watercross to open a private PWC practice course!

Great Lakes Watercross (GLW), the Midwest’s leading IJSBA-sanctioned closed course buoy racing and freestyle tour, will be responsible for commissioning the new PWC practice course on the Rocky Glen’s private lake.

The new practice course will be available to all, and is expected to open to the public early Spring 2023. GLW will be releasing more details about the practice course, as well as specifics on the exact opening day.

“Great Lakes Watercross is excited to share that we will have our own practice facility right here in the Midwest, bring your UTVs, and dirt bikes to ride Rocky Glen Trails too!“

Over the past year-and-a-half there has been no less than a baker’s dozen announced developments of all-new personal watercraft from very unlikely sources (and a few industry mainstays) that frankly, just didn’t seem all that likely to come to fruition.

And hey, that’s OK. Posting up a digital rendering of a twin-turbo, 90mph all carbon fiber one-seater runabout is gonna drum up some quick and easy attention on social media. We get it. But will this fabled $80,000 jet ski be actually made? Chances are unlikely at best.

So when famed offshore race boat manufacturer Cigarette Racing announced a similar “dream ski” at last year’s Miami Boat Show people were certainly stirred up. Even The Watercraft Journal took the bait and quickly reached out to the company’s media manager.

We published everything we received during a short discourse promising an insane, overpowered and lightweight race craft priced above most people’s daily-driven commuter car. Then fatefully, the company went radio-silent. Oh well, we figured. There goes another one.

Then Big Thunder Marine published these three images that we couldn’t see anywhere on Cigarette’s own social media – no seriously, we checked their Facebook and multiple Instagram pages. So how this dealer from Lake of the Ozarks got these images we have no idea.

But what is shown is the early stages of a lower hull, an early setup for the engine and drivetrain, as well as an adjustable sponson. Powered by a turbocharged 3-cylinder four-stroke engine, the Cigarette Racing PWC looks to be in a traditional arrangement contrary to the early dual jet pump configuration teased last year.

Yamaha WaveRunners scooped up another award for excellent customer satisfaction for the 7^th year in a row. Yamaha Watercraft was recognized for its outstanding customer satisfaction during the Industry Breakfast at the 2023 Miami International Boat Show. The Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) is the industry’s top honor for customer satisfaction and out of 57 recipients across 14 categories, Yamaha is the only personal watercraft brand to be recognized by the NMMA for its exceptional customer satisfaction.

With Yamaha leading the way within global marine brands and having the number one selling jet boat brand, it’s no wonder they received the CSI award for the 7^th year in a row. The company offers the most complete line of personal watercraft in the United States with a stand-up model and two- and three-seater models available. In the last two decades, Yamaha is the only jet boat and personal watercraft to have received a CSI Award from the NMMA.

This award is given to boat and engine manufacturers who actively measure customer satisfaction and strive to provide the best customer service throughout the year. They must be in the 90% or higher range when it comes to customer satisfaction surveys. Yamaha WaveRunners and Boats met and exceeded the challenge.

“As recreational boating continues to welcome an influx of new boaters, we are committed to providing ever-improving experiences for new and existing boat owners before, during, and after their time spent on the water,” said Robert Newsome, senior vice president of operations for NMMA. “We applaud these boat and engine manufacturers for creating an exceptional purchase journey and product to ensure an outstanding experience that creates a life-long love of boating for boaters worldwide.”
