Haul Aboard
The May/June issue of Ride Personal Watercraft Magazine visits a Hawaiian enthusiast who combines his lifelong love of fishing with his passion for Yamaha watercraft—with startling results.

Waterfront
Speaking of things that live in the water, we also meet a dolphin whose tail was injured by disease but, thanks to Bridgestone, now has a prosthetic tail and can swim and leap for joy.

Kaw-Huskers!
We also travel far from the ocean to America’s Heartland, to see where Kawasaki builds its Jet Skis, in Lincoln, Neb. While winter snows swirl outside in the prairie wind, employees inside are crafting years of warm-weather fun. As a bonus, we peek inside Kawasaki’s new musclecraft, the 250-hp Ultra 250.

Stormin’ the Beach
PWC have a serious side as well as their fun-loving personality. None other than the United States Marines use them to provide safety during offshore maneuvers. We go aboard Camp Pendleton, Calif. (one goes aboard a Marine base, just as one goes aboard a ship) to see Marines being trained to operate PWC in the surf in case their comrades need a lift.

Get Outta the Garage
Summer’s almost here and the time is right to pull the tarp off the PWC and go riding. But before you do, run through our checklist of first-trip to-dos.
