Wait......what am I seeing here?

Is that a jetski where the hull has been separated and it's been turned into a cart instead of a ride on?

I must find more info on this thing.

Ya, I don't get the roll bar, no it is not a tower, unless you are running in the shallows.

That little beast has spinal injury written all over it! Looks like fun, but on anything but glassy water looks like Hell in a Hull!

Oh, heck no. The standard Spark is a 400 lb machine. That's why I bought one, to go airborne and be tossed off, and it did that really well unlike any other modern PWC. Sitting in one, without any kind of leg suspension to absorb the bumps? Not a freakin' chance. Kiss your spine goodbye.

Edit: BigN8 beat me to it by seconds :)

Here is another one...


Wish they would put the phone away and use a couple of Go Pros. And what is up with a fuel tank behind your head?

Well they took my advise...

I remember seeing a few of these videos when they first came out and thinking that I’d buy one if it came stock like that but am not willing to put the time, effort and money in to converting one. As far a lack of suspension, it wouldn’t matter much too me. Over the last season with a new waverunner I rarely stood up while riding it so my knees didn’t act as shock absorbers often. Standing usually happens at no wake speeds around the dock.

As someone who owned both a Spark and Waverunner at the same time, I found no comparison in the rides between the two. The Spark is exceptionally light and carries over the water much more so than a heavy Waverunner. Even light chop would beat me to death. And I loved it for that, but no way would I spend much time in the saddle unless the water was smooth or I was going slow. It's like comparing a cabin cruiser against an AR195.

Looks like a good way to destroy your spine. No thanks.
