Abstract: A fender for a personal watercraft includes a hook portion shaped to hook under the bond flange of the personal watercraft for quick and easy attachment. The fender includes at least one flex region enabling the fender to conform to either of the front hull and the rear section of the personal watercraft. An attachment member such as a suction cup and/or a securing line is disposed adjacent an end of the fender opposite from the hook portion for attachment to the personal watercraft. In the method of manufacturing the personal watercraft fender, a hook portion, one or more flex regions, and a channel for receiving the attachment member are formed via rotationally molded PVC, and the attachment member is secured in the channel in a second step. The fender may also be provided with a gas chamber filled with a pressurized gas such as air to provide added cushioning and longer life.
