@@DeanMartinson-ci3lk they’re rare, kinda like white elephants. Only 100 of them…

Very kind. Thanks Jeff.

Thanks. If you need it, you can use an electric toilet installed on a LinQ tile (DIY) with a privacy tent/pop-up changing pod ($16-$35). End of the day, this is a pontoon with all its spartan advantages, charms and drawbacks.

These represent a culmination of innovation in terms of accessories, propulsion and electrics. There's a lot of wow here. We're looking for the next leap in innovation, but that might be some years away. Maybe Yamaha and Sea-Doo will have electric PWCs soon.

Pleasure. Hope you enjoy!

The difference between the two might not be so dramatic for you. You can change up the wings for a more pro experience on the AIR without sacrificing the added start up advantage. The 5'2'' AIR PRO will end up more appropriate for you as you go beyond intermediate (80kg and 80L means you can almost remain afloat when standing up on it. The AIR has 110 liters by comparison. Understand the dilemma, but you likely won't be too disappointed with the 5'8 AIR no matter what.

As far as I can tell, once you get beyond the rare defects that Sea-Doo will fix--and I really believe that they are rare as heck--then anything after this suggests a bit of reckless driving.

Massive in terms of volume. It's also got a lot of real-estate to stand on.

Not enough to just walk on water... to fly atop it!

Axopar lists the base price as €66,000 before taxes. The American pricing is somewhere just above $200-grand.

Thanks.

Hey Mr. 9860: Check again please: awakeboards.com/products/awake-ravik-s. You made me nervous for a second but, alas, the specs provided at 1:35 match those of Awake's own webpage. Perhaps Google is... wrong.

@ it says the Ravik S is 175cm still not bigger that the jetsurf

@@marvin9860 You're right about the Jetsurf being smaller. Sometimes we do a review after a session on the water. If Torben mispoke, then our bad for not catching it. The S is in fact smaller than both the Jetsurf Electric and Cruiser DFI as well as the Ravik 3.

Thanks. Hope your Odyssey is going well.

🦄🦄🦄

I agree.

It's 45 pounds without fuel. With a full tank it'll be around 55. Or 20- and 25-kilos, respectively, for Europeans.

It's there, but it's more of a symbolic barrier that only provides some visual privacy. For a boat this size, it's not a luxury to expect. It's worth pointing out for those who'll have guests staying over. But this is still a daycruiser.

Honestly, mainly because we didn’t get a chance to try them. We tried to.

Exactly. Apples and oranges in every category of performance. But there are things that a toon can do, that a CC doesn’t do well. Price makes it something else too.

Look out for the more in-depth review soon.

It is!

It's not Midnight Express' fastest, on account of the LOA

Yes, it was. Lots of premieres this year.

There are so many different scooters out there, not all of them quality products. The batteries on scooters are also subject to getting dinged , which can cause cheaper ones to heat up. The redundancies on the Sialia system are many and the sensors are, so it was explained to us, very alert to issues.

16 knots cruising speed. In-depth review on the way. This is a parallel hybrid system. It can run 100% electric, but the diesel can function as a backup and charge lithiums to 80% in 30-45 mins of running. Otherwise, fast chargers can get similar results.

That was our first reaction, too.

Huh?

They have a version kitted out for scuba diving that you guys might want to look at.

Currently on the way to FLIBS to check out the new 50 Evolution. Will be comparing!

It's not really designed for multi-day, off-grid cruising. That should have been another downside if you're looking for that.

... like Yama's new JetBlaster rigs too... they launched after we made this video.

Great rig. We wanted to include it, but already had 3 Sea-Doo craft included: the best entry (at the time), best fishing, and fastest. The Ex Pro could easily have been here instead of the RXP, but the 325 horses on the latter are impressive and needed some recognition.

You'd know! Thanks!

I think you’re right about the less impressive feeling compared to other pontoons but I was personally surprised with the handling of the longer craft. Which one did you rent?

You probably rented 21 170. Of course it's that way lol.

I know BRP has invested time and money into electrifying all their vehicles including SeaDoos. I think the efoil Rise will be part of that. But it’s weird they haven’t cracked the efoil nut yet. I heard at MIBS from sea doo that they’re “still working on it. “

@jetsurfingnation I just heard that Sea Doo shut the Rise program:(

@ sad but im not surprised

That would be awesome. I want a foil.

It's a Kenyon Grill. Electric, so safer than gas or charcoal. But, ya, from the sea, to the cutting board, to the grill, to the plate without land in sight.

Scout doesn't cut corners on production, that's for sure.

Agreed!! Always nice to be inspired by your riding in Portugal! Thanks

Narration is not an exact science @danmole1. But obviously, if you're thinking about the voice and not the boats, then the issue is on our end. Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to be more natural:)

Huh?

Thanks. We used an older Insta360 One RS and a Sony Alpha 7iii. We've since stepped up with the newest DJI Osmo, Insta360 X4 and GoPro 13. The SiFly E is huge, the reason why it's so easy to start out on with the tap and fly and touch down again method.

@Mr5percento Love the classic gozzos. I'm assuming the maintenance comes from the teak deck?

@@boatsailmag i spent over 120k to add 2cm of massive birman teak so it’s like 2.75cm

@@Mr5percento Very nice, I'm sure. Hope you get to spend a lot of time on it.

For this specific video, we used the Shadow and the Ravik S together for comparison. You can see the other jetboards side-by-side here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2Kph6qJeLOjjMUsi=cy6txdxquqOB8Ai-

They were great. The guys were fun too. I liked your take on it, that maybe they partied too much:) I think it just shows how hard the biz is without solid background funding. Even Radinn's social media savvy wasn't enough in the end. Nice guys though. And smart. They land on their feet.

Thanks DJ:)

We're trying very hard to get on an EVO. The battery options are also a subject of curiosity for us that we're gonna look at.

@Unfluencer Don't know bout that. Electric powered vehicles are more expensive (thinking about Jetsurfs) and there's as much battery tech involved here as, say, a Taiga PWC (which costs considerably more). There's also a reason why you don't see Alibaba knock-offs of this board anywhere. Much of this board is made in Germany, too, by the way. Expensive? Agreed. Ripoff? Not by yachting standards.
