Message From The Editor
The revolution is starting
Last Friday I drove to Gordon Bay Marine in Muskoka to ride the Taiga - specifically the Canadian-made Taiga Orca Carbon electric personal watercraft. This has been developed by three enthusiasts from McGill University and the first Taiga Orca Carbon came onto the market last year. As Annick Lauzon, Taiga Marketing Director explained, this new personal watercraft brings a number of benefits.
Being electric rather than having an internal combustion engine, the Taiga is very quiet and makes a great new option for people who don't want to disturb the neighbors at the cottage. Experienced PWC riders say that the torque of the electric power is very impressive. The Taiga is agile, sporty and fun to ride.
