The New CrossWave Might Be the Best Thing to Happen to Lake Life

If you won the lottery and all the sensible stuff was taken care of, what’s the first completely ridiculous thing you’d buy? For me, this personal watercraft from Yamaha.

Well, it's not utterly ridiculous, but the all-new CrossWave comes with a hefty price tag. Online discussions and forums suggest that the price could fall in the range of $20,000 to $40,000, with some estimates placing a fully equipped model at the higher end of that spectrum.

This WaveRunner looks like a cross between a jet ski and a small utility boat. It measures almost 13 feet long, over five feet wide, and can carry up to four people. Yes, it can fit in your garage. Other features include a rod storage compartment, a dedicated anchor locker in the bow, dual in-hull stern compartments, dual touchscreen displays, including a 7" Simrad NSX chartplotter and fishfinder, 8" footwell speakers with Bluetooth, and a 1.9L High Output Marine Engine.

There's nothing quite like a weekend spent on the water, and with the CrossWave, me and my family can explore the beautiful Taal Lake. It's about the shared laughter, the bonding, the simple pleasure of being together in nature, and enjoying a new level of freedom.

Experiencing Hiroya Kurata's Art

Finding moments of genuine peace can feel like a rare treasure these days. But what if I told you that a dose of serenity could be as simple as gazing upon a canvas? Hiroya Kurata 's work makes you want to slow down and find tranquility in daily life. His oil paintings look like delightful children's books or manga that whisper calmness through their composition, their palette, and the very essence of what they depict. Hiroya's canvases are basically a visual diary, capturing little snippets of moments he spends with his family in ordinary places. And, in a way, his art provides a pause button, a moment to simply be in the presence of something beautiful and serene. His work has been exhibited extensively in solo and group exhibitions across the globe, from New York to Hong Kong, Tokyo, and London. Waiting , his debut solo show at Carl Kostyál , is on view until August 2, 2025.

So, have you given Chloe Qisha a listen yet?

What I love about the Malaysian-born singer-songwriter is her knack for crafting those sad/happy songs – music that makes you want to cry and hit the dance floor at the same time. Chloe writes about love, anxiety, and self-acceptance with such wit and honesty. Her beauty is also undeniable – a perfect blend of modern allure and timeless Asian elegance. Her looks shine through with such grace and an effortlessly cool confidence. Here is my favorite.

Finding Art That Speaks To You

The internet is a vast ocean, and every now and then, you stumble upon something that makes you stop in your tracks. Recently, I was scrolling through my Instagram when I discovered Laurent Proux 's art. I surfed for what felt like hours, and thanked the IG algorithm for its foresight. It's rare to find an artist who can evoke such a strong feeling with their creations, and I instantly became a fan. The French artist's paintings often feature opposing elements—light and shadow, nature and industry, pleasure and violence, the real and the surreal. His figures are often fragmented, distorted, or contorted, blurring the lines between the human form and the landscapes they inhabit. Think of a vivid dream where everything is a little off-kilter, quite nightmarish, but in the most charming way possible. Proux's work is a reminder that art isn't just something to be observed in a museum or gallery. It's a powerful form of communication, a way for artists to share their...
