@@roozynz was wondering if we found all of it. Thanks for the heads up. I had heard there was a bath tub so we assumed we had found it

@@kerrytukaki thanks for that! Glad you enjoyed it. Oh ok, I thought that lodge had closed up

@@simonmcgrath6933 yeah there are probably a few spots you could chuck a tent. Awesome!

@@ParaglidingManiac cheers! I think next time I’d be ready to make a mud bath of it

More of a Mud Tub than a Bath Tub by the sounds of it 😂

@ probably accurate. A hot mud bath at least!

@@rhinostaking3550 crazy right!

@@skylane1828 definitely looked at the explorer. Would tick a lot of boxes for me and touring

@@David_Truck thanks for tuning in. Where in Canada? I’ll get some more adventures out soon

@livinginwake From Kelowna British Columbia. We have so many beautiful lakes in this area. A true gem and have Vancouver and the coast just a few hours away. Great place to go riding here

@@David_Truck I bet! Envious of all the lakes

@@simonmcgrath6933 awesome. Great plan. Good lake to do an overnighter and hopefully this makes it easier planning your adventure

@@livinginwake 100% it does. Also going over a couple of your old videos as well - you've totally been an inspiration by showcasing these lakes to me. Owe you a beer !

@@simonmcgrath6933 that’s awesome to hear and why I do these vids

@@nickhunn8039 thanks for the feedback and kind words

@@stuarts3016 wow you would have seen the very average beginnings haha. Thanks for this. You know actually prefer the RXP, its predictable and doesn’t wander like the ST3 hulls. You certainly have to hold strong and turn with it. But if you’re experienced, I like it. Definitely less forgiving than the GTR. Currently on a GTi , and it just slides on the turn, so you will have to change your approach going from the GTR

@@livinginwake thanks man - yeah been riding for 5 years but always had the pollytec hull on the GTis and GTRs - just wanted something to cut through the chop better as i ride offshore in the UK and as you can guess its far from a pond…

@@stuarts3016 no worries. If it’s offshore chop, it’s a balance. The ST3 hulls are more comfy in it, GTX or RXT. But they bow hunt. I had an rxt and did a couple long rides open ocean. Soaks the bumps but you’re playing with the handlebars a lot. RXP is smaller and doesn’t soak bumps as well but tracks through. Got a comparison vid on the two you can check out mate

@@livinginwake already see it mate the day you made it ! 😃

@@stuarts3016 awesome cheers mate

@@EdRaket13 will check out one of those events sometime. Imagine that would be next level

@@livinginwake yes i race BKOffshore in belgium next year you can come race there!

@@EdRaket13 now that would be epic! Thanks for tuning in from over there

Thanks for the feedback, yes I have had a bit of a look at the electric skis. Constraints in range obviously the biggest hurdle to overcome. Amazing instant power however. Space to watch

@@simonmcgrath6933 😂

@@rachogrady9338 thanks Rach!

@@evlvr4 thanks mate, appreciate it. Tried to cover the day best I could

@@_KiwiDad haha won’t be the only one

You won’t know unless you try it haha

@ very tempted my friend!

@@med.dent.gattoni thanks mate!

@@livinginwake Thanks for creating content!

@@simonmcgrath6933 glad to hear it mate. Thanks for the message. You won’t regret the lakes. Let me know if you’re heading down and want a riding buddy. I’m always keen if I can fit it in. Also if ya need any advice on the area. Stephen has hit me up about the gulf, and couple others trying to get me up there. I’ll likely plan something in spring

@@livinginwakeI have a week off in November and the missus isn’t keen, I’ll give you a nudge bro.

@@simonmcgrath6933 no worries

@@tmordaunt1 thanks mate, really appreciate the feedback and nice to know people are watching. I haven’t actually but thought about that area for sure, and whale island. Not sure on the regulations for White Island, would have to read up before I went near that one

@@jetskilee86 for sure! Very keen to get out and film with ya mate

And as always stunning scenery over in NZ

@@JoshDK- beautiful part of the world, can’t complain at all when I’m doing these sorts of things

@@JoshDK- I actually had a look at my speeds/rpms from when you service and a big majority of my riding was in the 45-70km/hr margin. Probably because of what I do on the ski, touring, riding with people, filming, on open ocean. Definitely enjoyed the top end but it was rare to use it. I find the gti/gtr hull easy and comfy enough. It’s forgiving. RXP was great with myself. Not great 2up. Rxt was great for 2up, probably my preference over RXP for most. The ST3 hull is more stable at stationary. All are awesome skis. Depends on what you need comfort for I guess?

@@JoshDK- also it actually goes better than I thought. I’d like to tune to get top end up a bit. But it still rips around in sport

@@livinginwake yeh I get that, I have a ski that can do 135km but most rides I do a top sped run once and the rest is 80km and under. I love the RXPX but it’s a one person ski even with the add on seat it’s not good with 2 people. I do like the GTi hulls they just seem a bit more work horse and useable. Good to see you back on a ski

@@TheSocialAIHub missed it!

@@mick20mpr thanks mate! I’m stoked to be back

@@Natethanastysnake666 thanks for that! :)

@@shotbychristo no worries! Will hopefully get back out soon for more

@@CJR_Controls no issues at all. The cruiser jet package I had was a good starter for me. But I’m over 100kg and 6’3 so if you’re not as hefty you might want a smaller wing. No issues at all with the board

@@CJR_Controls I thought it was pretty quiet, but it’s my first board. I went with the prop to start. Thought I’d start there with the guard on

@@grisdon1 admittedly it made it difficult haha

@@JonathonTsoukalas-w6x depends on how you’re riding. If cruising along, it’s ok. But if you’re rocking around, I wouldn’t want to be back there. Most of my riding was solo with the 1-up seat support on

I really like the idea but yeah when you start looking there aren’t many spots. I’d say Lake Tarawera and parking up at the hot water beach. There is a DOC camp on the shore there

Check out my vid going to tarawera and it shows you the camp

@@livinginwake unable to Free camp on Rotoiti?

@@simonmcgrath6933 I aren’t aware of any spots, but would be keen to know if there was

​@@livinginwake will definitely let you know. Hopefully down in a few weeks for a reccy as aiming to spend a ton of Seadoo time this summer on these lakes. Great videos bro, keep it up.

That might be a dealer thing, but I had to purchase the 2up seat with mine. Hardly ever used it to be honest

We work in litres and Km over here. I reckon you get around 180km if you’re riding easy on throttle in eco. You put that in sport and I’d say it would much much less :)

Thanks for the feedback and kind words! Those lifts look like great fun, don’t see a lot of people flying around here

Thanks for the feedback! Go well over there in aus

Stretching is probably a great idea. Relaxing muscles is a good tip too. I just got some negative shims so I’m going to see if that makes a difference as I’m struggling to be able to stand near the foil, hoping this changes the weight positioning

That’s very kind of you! Glad you enjoy the content

Thanks for this! The biggest key to progression I’ve noticed has been staying at good height on foil and recovering from breaches or near breaches. Was worried going through some larger boat wake that I’d be struggling but it wasn’t too bad

@@livinginwake Agree , practice makes it happen :-) Only the turbulence from an outboard propellor is almost undoable :-) you will experience the same turbulence if you ride with multiple e-foilers and going trough their track.

@@letsefoil do you just drop/porpoise when you hit it? Sounds like air wake turbulence

@@livinginwake Drop with an e-foiler but with a boat means wipe-out :-) depending on de speed of the boat but stretches quite long behind it.

She’s pretty damn nice in this part of the world for sure. Looks great over there too to be fair. Wouldn’t mind getting on those Caribbean waters

Thanks for the feedback. Don’t ya love the triple black colour scheme
