Speakers aim directly at skiers, boarders, surfers and tubers
Most marine stereo speakers produce music that bounces off the transom and reflects off the water, turning it into a distorted mush for anyone behind the boat. This is especially true when the volume is cranked up to be heard above the roar of an engine.

Gear: Tiny Phone Controller Fits Paddle to Steering Wheel
On the water, most people store mobile devices in safe but relatively inaccessible spots.
