Sea-Doo is looking for their ultimate fan…and offering some pretty cool incentives to the finalists, including a chance to get a sneak peak at an upcoming 2012 model, and maybe, just maybe, a chance to win one of your own.

The contest, appropriately dubbed “The Ultimate Sea-Doo Fan,” is to find someone who, according to Sea-Doo, “feels more at home on their watercraft than in their actual home; who spends large amounts of time trying to figure out a way to ride their watercraft to work; who daydreams about being on the water while skydiving; a real fanatic to become an ambassador for Sea-Doo.”

That actually sounds like a few people I know…

So just how do you get this choice title? Make like you’re in high school and write an essay. Seriously. Tell Sea-Doo why you should be crowned the Ultimate Sea-Doo Fan, include pictures and/or videos to set yourself apart from the crowd, and who knows, you could be the winner.

I have to admit, the list of prizes is pretty cool. Two finalists will actually be selected for a VIP trip to Montreal, Canada to join us press types at the 2012 Sea-Doo product introduction. While I’d say the ultimate part would be to hang with a bunch of journalists (whoo hoo!), you’ll probably find it cooler to get the behind-the-scenes look at all the new stuff before your friends while being treated in VIP style. If that’s not enough, the lucky winner will take home the Grand Prize, which includes a trip for two to the IJSBA World Championships in Lake Havasu City, Arizona this fall, a GoPro camera to record everything with that high-def POV style, a Sea-Doo riding gear and accessories kit, an iCatch trailer…

…and yes, a brand new 2012 Sea-Doo watercraft, as well as $2000 to travel around and ride it.

I’ve got to admit, it’s a cool concept. Get started by creating a profile at http://en-us.sea-doo.com/ultimateseadoofan/home.aspx, uploading photos and videos to YouTube and Flickr, and then keeping your fingers crossed that you’re the dude…or dudette.
