There comes a point in the day, we’re you just need a cold beer. You shouldn’t call the day a failure, you had a adventure, and that’s never a failure.

[@AdamSwords]

True! I just wish I could have camped, but that beer tasted damn good. So did the 2nd and 3rd!

[@emmanuelxiong639]

I'm absolutely love what you do on the seadoo....I can't stop watching because of the different adventures. Thank you Adam.

[@AdamSwords]

Thanks Emmanuel!

😂 Trim Up!! When water is relatively smooth, we trim our boats up and yes it gives us a few MPH. I’m all looking for myself driving by! 🚤🚤You’re in my world now! 😎

[@AdamSwords]

The Explorer is always trimmed all the way up, doesn’t make sense to ride the ST3 hull any other way

[@michaelfincham2749]

It was great to see the river this way. Man, I haven't been to needles in a lot of years. It looks great. When I was a kid, I thought the reason they called it needles was due to the pointy riverbed grass that poked you when you get in the water. Great video. This has been a great 3-part saga. Keep it up.

[@AdamSwords]

Haha that’s interesting

[@pauldiplock205]

Super video thoroughly enjoyed the watch. Envy isn’t the best of words but it is easy to feel that. Adam make the most of every opportunity….. time is the enemy and soon passes. Enjoy the moment too. Love the fact that you put the nonsense that surround us to one side and just enjoy your life for what it offers. Living the dream.

[@AdamSwords]

Well said, I totally agree

[@russellleonard5321]

Awesome video. Also very informative. We have been having great fun with our new Explorer Pro. Cruising in eco mode at about 35 mph we seem to be getting a little more than 7 mpg. I know two other people with new Seadoos. One has the 170 hp and the other 230 hp. They run like lunatics in sport mode and suck massive fuel. Our longest trip so far has been 52 miles. When the weather, tides and wind cooperate we have 70 mile and 100 mile ocean trips planned in Long Island Sound and out to Block Island. Fully loaded with my girlfriend and I (114 lbs and 164 lbs) we have hit 55 mph. Under ideal conditions it will probably do 58. But we bought it for adventure not speed. So glad I found you on KZbin, Thanks.

[@AdamSwords]

Nice! Glad you’re enjoying it

[@epicroadtripwithpiotrgorski]

That’s pretty cool!! Nice to see this area again this time from the water!!👏 7months ago I did Route 66 road trip!

[@frankrubeshaw4673]

Great video. I grew up going to Havasu. Boats, jet ski and skiing Always a good time. I always wanted to go all the way up river. Went as far as needles but thought it was to shallow for our boat. Looked fun

[@AdamSwords]

Yeah I was fortunate because they let out 4 units from Davis dam the night before so the levels were good

[@nicolassmith9629]

I was just at my sisters house in Havasu last weekend! It was 115 but the water was absolute perfection at 82 degrees. FYI - STOP at the sandbar! Jump off the boats, play frisbee, cornhole, etc. Its a party in the water!!!🎉 definitely the best spot and don’t pass the rope swing under the I-40 bridge!!🫶

[@AdamSwords]

I wanted to stop at both of those places but I was on a mission!

[@ReservedHunter]

Love this video! I do have a question, do you have a video on what gear you use on you and or with you on your adventures? If not, it would be a great videos!

@@AdamSwords I get to watch you have all the fun , without me getting over heated or wet. And there is no chance of me getting into any trouble from home. Win-Win-WIN!

[@AdamSwords]

Haha

[@dustinsteward]

I did this last year with a buddy going from Bullhead up to the dam then all the way to Copper Canyon and back. Worth noting that you don’t need to carry any fuel for larger skis. We ripped a 310x with 21.5 gal and had no problems along with a 15f with no issues stopping at Pirates Cove. There is also fuel at the Havasu Marina, not to mention good chicken wings in the channel.

[@AdamSwords]

Yeah doing it that way you’re not far from fuel at any point. I did cattail to Davis and back to bullhead before I needed to fill up but there were no fuel docks obviously. If I’d splash and dashed at Pirates beforehand I would have made it all the way up and back

[@AlexanderTheGrateful]

Brother that looks like an awesome day out!!! We are starting to get warmer weather here in Australia, I can’t wait to take out my jetski’s this spring, only 33 days to go 💪😁

Love your long cruising adventures on the SeaDoo. Have you done a video on the tops and bottoms your are wearing as well as your floatation vest and safety gear arrached?

[@AdamSwords]

I did one a long time ago but could definitely do an update

[@Bazze03]

Awesome video, looks incredible, it really makes me wanna get a SeaDoo sooooo baaaad. It would be really cool to see you do a similar trip some time in europe during summertime. Maybe rent a SeaDoo and a trailer and do a roadtrip through Europe. Keep up the amazing videos m8.

Topock gorge between Havasu and the i40 bridge is great scenery. There are supposed to be some waterfalls off of the river somewhere in there but I have never found them .Try wearing a giant white tshirt that is wet .

[@lucrativdragon2718]

I live in Bullhead across the river from Laughlin and have thought about doing this same trip to Havasu, looks amazing and now I have to do this!!! just be safe on the river in front of the casinos...alot of people don't watch and we have had a lot of accidents on that stretch.

[@AdamSwords]

Yeah I can imagine! Definitely do the trip

[@bryanharger6565]

Incredible trip and video, thank you sir. Can you share the type of fuel tank you have and how you attach to the back of your pwc

Adam, I absolutely love your videos. im a 14 year old male and you videos inspire me to do good in school so i can do the things you do. i wish i can make a lot of money so i can take my family out and do this stuff, and its absolutely mind-blowing how good your videos are and happy they make me. never stop what your doing man. ❤

If you get a camelbak thermos You can carry 2 L a frozen water Or what I prefer Frozen tea That can help keep you cool While wearing it as a backpack And have plenty to drink Now I rigged the system up That I have the hose running through my jet skis so I just pick it up and have a drink when I want it And keep the thermos inside the jet ski

I love it I normally stay in Parker AZ and ride the river there all day and you can jump off rocks lol

[@AdamSwords]

I’d like to check that out. Seems like that stretch is a little boring compared to this section though right? Not as much to do

[@patrickcollins7405]

Love all your Explorer Pro content man. Question for ya... since this model is designated around long distance adventure travel, do you know if the engine is more durable/last longer than other comparable models or is it too soon to know? CHEERS

[@AdamSwords]

It’s as reliable as any other model. It’s the 170 Rotax which is the least powerful option and therefore very happy running wide open for long periods of time. I raced mine in the Mark Hahn 300, where I was at wide open throttle for 6+ hours and it didn’t skip a beat.

Hi Adam I love your videos mate I have been watching for some time now! Although i’m a Yamaha man, I can appreciate a nice SeaDoo. I am crossing the English Channel on my Yam and want to get some good footage!! Do you use a selfie stick when recording from the front? I was looking at motorbike handlebar mounted selfie sticks but not too sure if they’d work. Thanks and keep it up!

Another great Adventure Adam!!! And even if you fudged the cost of your Seadoo What a fantastic return on investment. Please keep posting these adventures They make this old man feel young again lol.

[@AdamSwords]

I didn’t fudge the cost? $16,800 plus California sales tax and registration.

[@williamfielding8302]

@@AdamSwords I was thinking more like you said $18,000.00 to answer the nosey question when it was more like $25,000.00 . I may be a little old fashion but ya never start a conversation with a stranger with "Hey what did that cost" I hope I didn't offend you That was not my intention.

[@AdamSwords]

No offence taken at all. But $16,800MSRP ends up being around $18,000 out the door in California.

[@davidcorbett62]

A long ride but you don’t seem to be suffering from aches which is a testament to the comfort of your Sea Doo! Great ride But, chancy due to so many inexperienced riders who when the beers are in the whit is out, maybe for exploring mid week may be better but a great weekend. As you say better with company pref female as 1 They look better 2. They smell better 3. they compliment any rider 4. You don’t look like Billy no mates 5. You can snuggle up to them at night 6. In my case they can cook a lot better 7. The miles seem shorter 8. They will need more toilet stops so you get to explore places you would have ridden past if on your own! 9. You can discover places whilst sharing the view 10. Did I mention they look better? Lol The only exception to the above will never happen is you take the Producer with you but as I say that will never happen as it would take him out of his Comfort zone But as ever a great vid and a good guide to others if they ever want to do the trip

[@Tacosauce81]

Take a knee sock. wet it. Place two bottles of water inside the sock. Strap it where the air flow is high. That sweet bumper will work perfect! You will have cold water after a nice ride. great vids!

[@AdamSwords]

When the air temp is 104F that’s a great way to get warm water and a dry sock in 20 minutes lol

[@Tacosauce81]

Don't knock it till you try it. Mate. I'm not saying it's going to be ice cold. It will, however, be a lot colder than you would think. When I was in the military. We would use that method all the time in over 120 degree Temps. We would hang wet socks. With water bottles in them from our mirrors WHILE DRIVING. It was a hell of a lot better than warm water! Just keep the sock wet. It's not like you don't have plenty of water around. Since you are using cooler lake water to wet the sock, it probably will work even better. I challenge you to try it, mate! Keep up the great vids!

[@AdamSwords]

I’ll give it a go and report back!

[@mauryballstein8863]

I can’t believe you’re dressed that way in Havasu lol it’s so damn hot. We have run up to the damn a few times but now with a 1000hp big block we usually only go as far as Needles bridge and back down to steamboat cove for sunset which is a few miles up from where you started the video. You definitely should have just hung around and went for rides up to pirates cove and back to Havasu for the weekend so you could go out on the town and get in on the fun that Havasu offers and went camping through the week but I’m sure you’ll be back. Havasu is too addicting to only go once. We have 3 generations that have been going to Havasu since the 60s when it was mostly just a desert. It’s definitely west coasts Mecca for boating. But you definitely look like a cop from far away but I don’t think police use seadoos in Havasu Atleast I’ve never seen one but cops are cool for the most part. On holiday weekends when it’s solid boats in coves and only the emergency channel is open (where you can’t anchor for emergency vehicles to come through) there will be people throwing beers over the police boat to people out in the water. They are usually pretty cool as long as you’re not drinking and driving. Man I kinda wish you were staying all summer there so you could just enjoy it. I’ve grown up there and don’t want to leave at the end of the weekend and I only live a few hours away but also what you said about the rental skis all being in that one spot.. It’s so dangerous once you get up to Laughlin. There’s probably countless near misses daily because of idiots riding rentals and doing dangerous things especially when there are boats. They will go head on with you and cut you off when you’re going fast and just are so unpredictable and there are so many you can’t stay away from them. It’s really stressful when you’re in a boat up there on some weekends. Obviously you’ve posted this so I’m sure you’re safe but sometimes there are twice if not more seadoos than you saw in that area. Pure chaos. Also you were in Nevada when you were in Laughlin and you were in California at Pirates cove so you hit all 3 states 😜 ( wrote that before you figured it out on the map) 😅
