The Rise of Yamaha WaveRunner® PWCs

It's hard to beat PWC when it comes to having a high-octane and thrilling experience out on the lake or along the Pacific coast. With their agility, easy handling and high speeds, PWC have quickly risen in popularity from their birth a few decades ago to become an extremely commonplace form of marine recreation.

One of the keystone brands of PWC is the Yamaha WaveRunner®, which has been a top-selling model for over thirty years now. Thanks to its clever design and rideability, novices and experts alike enjoy the WaveRunner and its siblings and what these crafts bring to the table. Your local Yamaha dealer is RideNow SoCal of Vista, CA. Read on to learn more about why this brand is so beloved!

WaveRunner® Development

In 1986, Yamaha, long a manufacturer of motorcycles and other land-based transport, continued its expansion into the marine market with the first PWC. Taking its cues from the company's history of boat manufacturing that began in the 1960s, the WaveRunner® provided watersports enthusiasts with a quick and easy-to-use means of aquatic transport and recreation. Its sit-down, open-stern stylings made it comfortable to ride, while its aerodynamic hull cut through waves with ease.

Further Innovation

During the 1990s, Yamaha continued to build upon and expand their initial PWC designs to make them faster, more agile and more useful to riders. This helped the company to become a top manufacturer of PWC.

Their 2002 model, the FX® 140 WaveRunner®, has the distinction of being the first four-stroke engine PWC available on the market. Its smooth handling, stable hull and high fuel economy only served to boost its popularity. Beginning in 2008, Yamaha WaveRunners® were constructed with NanoXcel®, a lightweight composite material that reduced the weight of the craft by 25%.

WaveJammer® & WaveBlaster®

In 1987, directly after the release of the WaveRunner®, Yamaha came out with the WaveJammer, a small-hulled model with solo seating to help it go faster. In 1991, this model ceased production and was replaced with the WaveBlaster in 1993, which seated two people and rode more like a motorcycle on the water than previous models, thanks to its powerful engine.
