The Watercraft Journal's Kevin Shaw gets the exclusive opportunity to try as best as he can to stay on Brian Baldwin's 350-horsepower, 83 mile-per-hour #502 2019 Yamaha FX SVHO WaveRunner. Yeah, the same ski that Brian rode to his 10th National Championship this year! The very same one! We also interview Brian about his time as a Factory Yamaha racer, the top dog at RIVA Racing's race team, and how he helped developed all of the handling package that makes this full sized runabout run neck-and-neck with the smaller GP1800R - and murder the competition while at it!
And make sure to read our full-length, first-hand review of Brian Baldwin's insane race craft here:

Great interview! Baldwin is the man!
Yes, we know. It was a slip of the tongue which we noted in the first line of the video's description.
Wow Kevin, that must have been a blast to ride and so interesting having the opportunity to interview one of Yamaha’s race legends. Great job once again.

Billy Duplessis it wore me out in mere minutes!
Impressive machine for sure 👍
JetSki Brothers it’s a monster! But it’s the pairing of it to the right rider to make it a winner.
Great review Kevin!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it!
Is the speedometer locked to 70mph even if the speed is higher?
Yes, well...sorta. We explain it in the article in greater detail.
to my understanding, the fx seems to be replacing the gp in every aspect other than weight now. would you say the fx with mods, handles the same/if not better than the gp? its coming off as the perfect mix of comfort/performance. im after performance mainly, but if its going to handle as well as the gp with the extra comfort.. seems like a no brainer.
Great question, Alex! You'll note that most racers ran GPs at World Finals. It's still the preferred PWC for closed course racing; the FX is great for super course, offshore and rougher water conditions.
nice
The thing's a monster.
Do you know if the foot wedges that Brian has on his ski are homemade or can you purchase them?
Northeast Florida Personal Watercraft the foam wedges are available online; he simply stacked, glued and carved them to fit his little feet (Kevin wears a 11.5).
Bad Ass Ski and Rider!! Please sell me that Ski!?
Brian's one of the best.
