Sea-Doo legitimized the idea of wakeboarding behind PWCs 10 years ago when their stock models pulled for professional events on the Pro Wakeboarding Tour. Some of the world's top riders still train behind Sea-Doo watercraft because they're so nimble and easy to maintain. The company continues to stay a step ahead of the competition with special features and performance advances that make towing an absolute blast.

For 2005, Sea-Doo juiced up their 4TEC especially for riders and dubbed it the Wake. It's a great concept, as the Wake is ready for boarding right out of the box. It's tricked out with a retractable ski tow pylon with secure handgrips for the observer, new convex mirrors for a 32 percent wider field of view, a wakeboard rack and a removable bow storage bin.

The Wake's torquey four-stroke engine provides the low-end grunt to pop riders quickly, and the quiet 1494cc three-cylinder mill cranks out 155 hp. The Wake is fully equipped with Sea-Doo's Off-Power Assisted Steering (OPAS), Digitally Encoded Security System (DESS), learning key, reverse lever and reboarding step. It's a great package for learning how to ride, safely.

The Full Outfit

Sea-Doo offers plenty of toys for riders. For any watercraft, a dry bag is almost a necessity to keep valuables and a change of clothing dry. The one we found is translucent, so you can see what's inside.

To get an early start on the boarding season, or to add protection and warmth for touring, Sea Doo's Freewave Spring Suit gives the penguin endurance without the look. Both the long-sleeve and the shorty-style 2 mm wetsuit are designed to fit body contours, thanks to a super-stretch underarm panel for flexibility. Aqua-riding gloves and shoes add even more protection.

Sea-Doo's segmented neoprene PFD features soft beveled PVC foam floatation and a neoprene outer shell and liner. For long-range endurance, the hydro-kidney belt provides lumbar support and comfort in an easy-to-adjust design.
