SeaDoo

With new consumer tech, it's often the case that big corporations will join the party once smaller startups have tested the waters. Such is the case with major manufacturer Sea-Doo, which has just announced its upcoming Rise electric hydrofoil board.

Sea-Doo gets a little less "personal" with its watercraft lineup, launching the Switch family of pontoons. The Switch remains Sea-Doo to the core, bringing together PWC-style handlebar steering and a Rotax jet drive, along with a modular deck design.

They’re expensive, but quirky weekend toys open the door to a world of fun beyond what cars can offer. BRC, parent to Can-Am and Seadoo, has been busy keeping its lineup of weekend warriors fresh and ready for fun, unleashing a new Can-Am Spyder and Maverick alongside an updated Sea-Doo Spark.

The Spark is by far the least powerful jet ski you can buy. It's also much, much lighter than its competition, giving it a competitive power to weight ratio and some unique handling abilities. And it burns just over a tenth of the fuel the big boys do. Loz Blain and Noel McKeegan take it for a spin.

Half the price, half the weight and half the power of a regular midrange jet ski, the Spark delivers 90% of the fun of a more expensive PWC in a way that's much more accessible and attractive to newcomers. It also burns nearly ten times less fuel than the big boys. Loz and Noel ride the new Sea-Doo.

Bombadier Recreational Products has revealed the all-new Sea-Doo Search and Rescue, a personal watercraft built specifically for water rescue operations. The new PWC is built with the strength and stability necessary for pulling people out of rough, deadly water.
