For anyone who's ever been out riding the waves on a PWC, you'll likely know two truisms. One, a PWC is far more fun than any boat will ever be, and two, despite that, boats are still better in terms of protecting you from the sun's baking rays. After all, the good ones have roofs and/or sun shades to shield your fragile skin, while PWCs don't.
And that's a problem, as people often want to use these machines not just to light their hair on fire—i.e. RideApart's own Robbie Bacon—but to park up, chill on the water, have some fun, or go fishing. These are multitools of both fresh and saltwater and folks need shelter sometimes. I wish I had an umbrella the last time I went fly fishing as I made the mistake of not reapplying sunscreen.
Ask me how burnt I felt...
