About Open Water Magazine

Open Water Magazine is an independent PWC publication built by a rider, for riders.

I'm Drew Carter — I started this site because I wanted honest, straightforward content about personal watercraft that wasn't written by a marketing team. No fluff, no sponsored opinions, just real talk about the skis, the gear, and the lifestyle.

Whether you're shopping for your first jet ski, trying to figure out why your supercharger sounds funny, or just looking for your next ride destination — this is the place for you.

What you'll find here:

• Honest brand and model comparisons
• Buying guides for first-timers and upgraders
• Maintenance tips that actually make sense
• Gear reviews and recommendations
• The best riding spots worth knowing about

New articles drop every week. Subscribe below and you'll get them straight to your inbox — no spam, just PWC content.
