A story and video from the Sea-Doo X Uncharted Society highlights an adventure with Paulina Dao and her friend, Jenny Simacek. The two women lacked experience on the water and adventure was never part of their lives, so it was a big deal when they boarded flights to California. Furthermore, they booked a guided tour with the Uncharted Society to make the nearly 60-mile-round-trip-ride to Catalina Island.
This was way out of their comfort zone, and we were impressed by their desire to take that kind of risk. Anyone who has made the grueling ride to Catalina Island knows it’s not for the weak. The two women met with a guide at the docks and got a crash course in handling personal watercraft.
Soon after, they took off on a couple of Sea-Doo GTX Pros. Encountering dolphins and sea lions along the way made the trip extra special. The women not only made the ride to Catalina, but they also went snorkeling, jumped some waves, and gained a huge amount of self-confidence.
“It was kind of terrifying at first when I noticed the shore was gone, but it was really freeing and felt really cool,” said an excited Simcek who was stoked to share this awesome bonding experience with her good friend Dao.
