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.
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 UA-cam, Thanks.
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.
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!!🫶
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.
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
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.
It was beautiful Adam, everytime i see you on the pwc, you make me miss mine. Cause now im more into street bikes. Keep up the good work my friend. Love from Malta 🇲🇹 ❤️
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. ❤
What an amazing mindset! You’re gonna go far if you keep thinking like that and put in the hard work, I know it! I’m glad you enjoy the videos, you’re gonna feel so good when you accomplish you goals. Good lad!
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
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.
I enjoyed the vid! Glad u got to experience the beauty of that part of the river and one of my many stomping grounds. What’s next, Mead, Parker, Powell? Don’t stop now🩵
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.
😂 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! 😎
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
Have you seen the videos from the River Run that we just did in Missouri? 364 miles with a couple of neighbors from Havasu. Maybe we need to do a run next year together.
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 .
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?
to anybody thinking about going to laughlin do not go to harrahs its probably the worse hotel i've been to i dont really suggest staying at laughlin unless you have a rental house or a house
When I moved to the US as a 15 year old, my father took us on a jet ski/boat trip to Lake Havasu, that's when I fell in love with the US. This is pure freedom
Man its so funny, here down in Quebec, doing 77 miles / 124 km you barely change city haha.. Its so nice where you are that you can traveled this distance and have so many place to camp, visit and see different view !
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
@@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!
Adam - Please leverage your connection with Sea-doo to get your subscribers a discount (if you haven't already)! I want a machine really bad and any form of savings will help. Thanks for producing excellent content that makes me want to be out there right along side of you - on my own personal Sea-doo of course!
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 💪😁
If you ever want to bring the explorer to Florida, I got mine and can show you around we got some great crystal clear water in some parts and there’s just something about the sunshine state that you have to experience.
I was just saying to you through the screen that you probably look like a cop to them..😂 I lived in Arizona for a while and they open carry where I lived and I thought DAMN there sure is a lot of cops in this small town..😂😂😂
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!
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!
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
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.
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!
Ha! Good catch on the phone. I put a floating lanyard on my phone that clips on and off after a couple close calls and some not so fortunate results with other valuables that went to the bottom.
FYI if the police caught you filling up your tank there it is a 5k fine. That was as of 2022 and pretty sure it is the same fine. You cant pour gas on the river. Stay safe love the vid!
@@AdamSwords Yes we had a home on the river. The police came and told me as they saw our gas can but it was empty. He said if i was seen filling up on the river in the water it was a 5k fine. You have to have your watercraft out of the water or use one of the gas stations at Topok or Havasu. The one at AVI casino closed in 2020 during covid. Stay safe bud
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 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.
Before you stop at any of those camp sites know that you have to pay and reserve them. If not the water cops will be happy to kick you out and possibly give you a ticket.
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!
Love the river especially Laughlin and also you hit 3 states because needles is California Laughlin is Nevada across Laughlin is bull head city Arizona
Just bought mine 1 week ago. Went out for the maiden and the thing pulled about 20 degrees to the right with the bars straight. Then when I turn the bars left to go in a straight line the thing leans hard to port. So friggin dangerous to ride that way, and can't bring anyone with me. Hopefully a steering cable adjustment fixes this. Not giving it to the dealer, gonna try to fix it myself. Just wondering if yours did the same new?
@@AdamSwords No it's the 170. And the ski isn't even balanced when it sits in the water at the dock. I lists a cpl inches to the left sitting still too with nothing on it. I took the windshield off today and straightened out the nozzle. It was pulling right so you have to turn the steering cable to the right to get it straight. Will drop it in and test this week. I want my bars straight and my nozzle straight.
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) 😅
@@AdamSwords yeah yeah I’ve heard that before from people that work out in the heat but I’ve tried it and can’t handle it lol. I gotta lose everything I’m wearing in the heat 🤣 I’ll be headed to Havasu Friday morning and this weekend it’s gonna be 115. Cookin lol
So it was actually so hot that day that, even with the 5 L of water that I drank, plus the Diet Coke at the restaurant, I actually didn’t pee the entire day!
@@AdamSwords wow! I am making my first trip to Catalina, so I’m hoping I don’t have to pee along the way. Love your videos, you have inspired me to start my own channel and to get out there and create my own Sea-Doo adventures!
your video is informative and well done, but thank god PWC's are forbidden on swiss lakes and very strict 72db max sound levels are imposed on all boats (and a lot of new units don't pass), this river looks like absolute mayhem and a good time for nobody
@@AdamSwords we have a f60 fighter jet in site6 cove and next door at site 5 there’s 2 sails boats one 30ft and one 20footer , a Willie’s jeep, submarine, a jet boat, fire hydrant, and a few other things I don’t wanna give away all of it haha… but then in lake Mohave at “cabin site cove” there’s a 40ft school bus at about 60ft depth and a massive 40ft cabin cruiser boat
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.
True! I just wish I could have camped, but that beer tasted damn good. So did the 2nd and 3rd!
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.

You bet!
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
That’s awesome!
Have you seen the videos from the River Run that we just did in Missouri? 364 miles with a couple of neighbors from Havasu. Maybe we need to do a run next year together.

I love it I normally stay in Parker AZ and ride the river there all day and you can jump off rocks lol
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
This was great, you should try to go from blythe/Ehrenberg to lake Havasu or vice versa.
I have another ride planned actually from Blythe
@@AdamSwords heck yeah! Can't wait to see it!
Good video again adam keep up the fantastic work buddy mourice from hull

When are you going to do a crossing over to the Bahamas?
I’m asking the same question!
You need to organize a Florida to Bahamas trip. I would go !
I know it’s on my bucket list!
FYI if the police caught you filling up your tank there it is a 5k fine. That was as of 2022 and pretty sure it is the same fine. You cant pour gas on the river. Stay safe love the vid!
Really? Didn’t know that
@@AdamSwords Yes we had a home on the river. The police came and told me as they saw our gas can but it was empty. He said if i was seen filling up on the river in the water it was a 5k fine.

I will 100%
You're living the dream my English Breatharia
I’m doing my absolute best!
I used to work right near the channel. Fun stuff except it was costing too much to work there.
it was your face the whole time....
Man cant wait to move out there, I have unlimited time to ride my Jet ski.... Guess we going to Catalina and more many times
Nice!!
Another banger! Looks like an awesome time 🍺🍺
It was!
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.
I didn’t fudge the cost? $16,800 plus California sales tax and registration.
@@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.
No offence taken at all. But $16,800MSRP ends up being around $18,000 out the door in California.
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
That red boat looks like the stand up jet ski's father.
Haha it does
Hey Adam have you done a video on what you carry on your vest?
I’m actually going to do an updated one
@@AdamSwords looking forward to it!!
Before you stop at any of those camp sites know that you have to pay and reserve them. If not the water cops will be happy to kick you out and possibly give you a ticket.

I have a few! One on my camping set up and the other on my safety gear
You're kitted out like you're about to go raid a bunker in the warzone mate 😅
Hahaha
Swords, when I grow up I wanna be like you. You got the cool.
Haha I don’t think I’ve grown up yet!
Not that many balloons over there...
But hey, a drone is something!
Exactly!
Just bought mine 1 week ago. Went out for the maiden and the thing pulled about 20 degrees to the right with the bars straight. Then when I turn the bars left to go in a straight line the thing leans hard to port. So friggin dangerous to ride that way, and can't bring anyone with me. Hopefully a steering cable adjustment fixes this. Not giving it to the dealer, gonna try to fix it myself. Just wondering if yours did the same new?
Is yours the 230? I hear the rotation of the supercharger can cause this
@@AdamSwords No it's the 170. And the ski isn't even balanced when it sits in the water at the dock. I lists a cpl inches to the left sitting still too with nothing on it.
I took the windshield off today and straightened out the nozzle. It was pulling right so you have to turn the steering cable to the right to get it straight. Will drop it in and test this week. I want my bars straight and my nozzle straight.
Weird…take it to the dealer, shouldn’t do that
Just did my 1st LosAngeles to Maui on my Seadoo , hell of a trip just got back time to eat !
lol 😂
that was awesome! you'd definitely feel a lot less thirsty if you put electrolytes in your water
Yeah in hindsight I shoulda taken a few pouches on LiquidIV. I will next time, thanks for the tip!
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) 😅
It was actually cooler than I would have been in shorts and no shirt
@@AdamSwords yeah yeah I’ve heard that before from people that work out in the heat but I’ve tried it and can’t handle it lol. I gotta lose everything I’m wearing in the heat 🤣 I’ll be headed to Havasu Friday morning and this weekend it’s gonna be 115. Cookin lol
I like very much videos on colorado river and lakes, please make more😊
Done ;)
Amazing!
Personal question. What do you do if you have to wee on those long range rides?😊
So it was actually so hot that day that, even with the 5 L of water that I drank, plus the Diet Coke at the restaurant, I actually didn’t pee the entire day!
@@AdamSwords wow! I am making my first trip to Catalina, so I’m hoping I don’t have to pee along the way.
Love your videos, you have inspired me to start my own channel and to get out there and create my own Sea-Doo adventures!
Nice dude! I pee in the ocean a decent amount haha
You are welcome to come with us if you're available. We are launching out of beautiful Dana Point July 10th.
Join the SeaDoo senders group and post it on there: www.bit.ly/seadoosenders
Enjoyed this video fun watch
Thanks for watching!
Just realized your producer Michael's right hand man
So much more than just a camera man eh? 😉
As soon as I saw your hat I thought; dude that's the wrong hat...
Lol
your video is informative and well done, but thank god PWC's are forbidden on swiss lakes and very strict 72db max sound levels are imposed on all boats (and a lot of new units don't pass), this river looks like absolute mayhem and a good time for nobody
Watching these has made me want to go get a seadoo 😅
Do it!
I've seen people revive drones that have been in the water.
Nice!
Nice adventures for sure, shared this video👍
Awesome thank you!
Damn I so wanted a camping vlog
Me too!! It’s coming I promise
How many gallons does your seadoo take? And how much gas did it take on the way up the river?
If you would have camped there, and left at 5:30am, you would have had glass water and no boat traffic. You would have made it back in 1 1/2 hours.
Yeah I’m sure! There’s always next time!
Any advice of trailering your jet ski for a 9 hours transport to a destination to the ocean?
Amazing Adam, thanks M8.
Glad you enjoyed it
35k jetsi epic! I can´t even get myself the standard 12k Yamaha at the moment 😅 but all in good time
You can do it!
This was so much fun to watch !! Very entertaining 🎉🎉
Glad you enjoyed!
You ever flip over with all that gear on the back? Does it make it harder to flip it upright again?
Not once, it’s super stable
Im moving there now i cant wait another minute
170 does the job or is better 230 ?
I am in miami planing to go open ocean and long ride.
170
wouldnt you want to jump in the water once in a while? otherwise it aint much different than a road trip
Awesome video, that looks soooooo fun!!!
It was!
bro i saw the drone on the ground lol
Cracking place,defo more fun to be had there,
Absolutely there is!
You should get into fishing it would make your videos 100x better
It’s just not for me I’m afraid
Awesome video
Thanks!
Your welcome 🙏🏼
Whats your range on a full tank. On a ride like this
Around 80-100 miles
YES Anna!
🤘🏻🤘🏻
What is the top speed of your jet ski???
55 on the Explorer 170
Dude Shit I just found you I live In havasu and scuba dive here would have been awesome to meet you
What’s to see scuba diving there? Would be rad to try.
@@AdamSwords we have a f60 fighter jet in site6 cove and next door at site 5 there’s 2 sails boats one 30ft and one 20footer , a Willie’s jeep, submarine, a jet boat, fire hydrant, and a few other things I don’t wanna give away all of it haha… but then in lake Mohave at “cabin site cove” there’s a 40ft school bus at about 60ft depth and a massive 40ft cabin cruiser boat
Wild! DM me on Instagram and let’s talk.
