First Day on New Seadoo PWC

I took my new Seadoo PWC out on the river yesterday. Initially, I found it to be a bit difficult to operate but after a few hours of testing things out it was smooth sailing. It corners differently than my older Seadoo but I was able to shift my weight a bit to the inside and it worked perfectly.

My buddy, who is also a Seadoo racer, came with me. He tried my new machine a few times for about 30 minutes each time and I could tell he was impressed. Because the choice of PWCs is a very personal thing I do not want to specifically endorse this type of Seadoo in this blog other than to say it is a Seadoo brand PWC.

For those of you that know me, it is common knowledge that I love to be out on the water. I have loved the water since I was a child. I went to university in a land locked city and wondered the entire time I was there way on earth would people settle in a town that wasn't bordered by a lake or ocean or some substantial body of water. I am on the water or beside the water at least once per week and more if I possibly can be. I love to fish, I love to water ski and I love to sail. However, the thing I most love to do is to get out on my Seadoo PWC.

I often Seadoo by myself when I find that I have a few extra hours in my day but I much prefer to Seadoo with a buddy. I enjoy the camaraderie and I feel that it is safer. Hours slip by when I'm out on the lake with a friend and we are riding our respective PWCs. I also like to take people on the back of my Seadoo and try to do that as much as I can. I love the idea of turning the uninitiated on to this great water sport. I am pleased that at least 2 of my good friends have purchased Seadoo PWCs after spending a few days out on the water with me. These guys are now trying to get others involved in the sport.

If you are interested in trying this sport, many marinas will have some older model Seadoos that are available for test drives. If you are serious and leave a deposit many will allow you to take them to your own lake or river and keep the machine overnight. This allows you to determine if buying a Seadoo PWC is the right investment for you If you are worried about the expense you should look around for a second hand model. With the proper care, PWCs like other watercraft, can last for many years.

Yesterday was my first day on my new Seadoo and, not surprisingly, I loved it.
