The event takes place at Crazy Horse Campgrounds and draws nearly 10,000 spectators every year. BRP is the leading supporter of watercraft racing through the Sea-Doo X-TEAM Bounty racer contingency program and the Sea-Doo X-TEAM Promoter support program.

The Sea-Doo ‘Escape the Everyday’ Experience will be set up on the west end of the event venue where several new models will be on display and available to test ride.

Attendees will also be able to get their groove on with the industry’s first manufacturer-installed, truly waterproof, Bluetooth audio system playing music from the various display models.

The Sea-Doo World Finals fun is powered by the racing as leading Sea-Doo racers look to extend the X-TEAM’s six year dominance in the elite Pro Open and Pro GP world championship classes.
