With the time for winter boating almost past, it's getting to that point where we all start looking towards spring and summer, and how we can make this next boating season better than the last. Sometimes, this can come down to what accessories, toys or gadgets you choose to add to your boating kit.
You see, a boat without accessories is a bit like eating a sausage in bread without any condiments - it's still an enjoyable experience, but in the back of your mind, you know it could be so much better. The sauce, the mustard, the onions, the cheese - the humble snag is incomplete without these toppings.
Boating, too, is incomplete without the right accessories.
Follow along with this extended and somewhat laboured metaphor, as we explore four accessories that could make your next boating season the best one yet.
1. The tomato sauce: JOBE Lunar
Just like tomato sauce is the first thing you add to your snag, the JOBE Lunar should be the first accessory you add to your kit this upcoming season. With a shape that's reminiscent of your couch, you'll find being towed behind a speeding boat has never felt more leisurely.
The inflatable has room to seat three people and features towing points on both the front and back, for extra versatility.
2. The mustard: Obrien Beck wakesurf board
With your sausage drowning in the red stuff, you might be thinking, "This is enough. I don't need anymore sauces." But remember, variety is the spice of life and if you take a bite now, you may find yourself regretting not adding a touch of another flavour - like mustard. The Obrien Beck wakesurf board is the mustard of your boating kit.
If you find yourself bored of riding an inflatable piece of lounge furniture, you can change pace and give wakesurfing a try. The Obrien Beck is the perfect board for both beginners and experts.
3. The onions: Fusion Stereo Active
The basics are covered and now's the point where your sausage is needing a bit of texture. The gold standard for texture on a snag is fried onions. The gold standard for texture on a day's boating is music. For that, Fusion has you covered with their floating, waterproof speaker system, the Stereo Active.
The Fusion Stereo Active allows you to listen all your favourite tunes while you're on the water. It features dual 2.5" 40 watt speakers, which will be loud enough for even the deafest of your relatives to hear.
4. The cheese: Float Fridge
Your sausage is almost done, but there's something missing - the cheese. Now, you don't want too much, but you also don't want too little. The point is to get the amount of cheese that complements the rest of the ingredients. Your favourite cheddar is to a sausage what a crisp beverage is to a day of boating - the perfect accompaniment. That's where the Float Fridge comes in.
With space for 30 cans of your favourite drinkables, there's no danger of you going thirsty. Just remember, if you do decide to have some alcoholic brews, keep out of the driver's seat.
