        Comments about O'BRIEN (MOTION WATER SPORTS) Gladiator Fling Towable:

        We just had four 9 and 10 year olds first time riders who had the greatest time!! They never wanted to quit! They rode 2 at a time and it performed beautifully! One rider was a little tricky until we figured out the balance (couldn't be too far forward or it would submerge). This information would have been good to know before hand.

          We use this on a river mostly with adults, great set up as far of the handles, good solid construction, easy to inflate and a comfortable ride. This replaced one we had for years and the reviews helped us decide on it. Make sure not to be far up on take off or you will be underwater(only neagative) Great Fun for all ages

              This is a solid tube and quite easy to inflate. We are VERY rough on tubes and have ripped through many over the years. This one has held up quite well this summer. I don't anticipate any problems at this time. Great Product.

                We used the Fling to pull our two teenage boys behind our 16' ski/fish boat. The construction let them have the ride of their lifetime! It is easy to get on, there is plenty of room for two riders, and the tough construction held up to the rough water. We had a hard time getting them off of it at the end of the day!

                I liked everything about the Gladiator Fling Tube except for the fact that it lost all its air after the first use.

                Comments about O'BRIEN (MOTION WATER SPORTS) Gladiator Fling Towable:

                We typically have multiple kids here at the same time, so a single tube was not the best solution. We tow with a 40 hp fishing boat. Ordered the Fling so we could ride multiple kids and it has been great! With the back handles, kids 6 to 12 can get on it in deep water with no problems. It is sensitive to location of the load. Ride it forward and water comes up over the nose at the start, it tows harder and is impossilble to get out of the wake. Ride it back just a bit and all those problems go away. It comes right up, tows easier and faster and it will swing out of the wake with no problems on turns. Kids now like just sitting on it, legs and arms crossed, to see who gets tossed off first. Braver kids can actually stand up on it for a while. Back at the dock, they use it as a swim and dive platform. Adults love it too. out of 3 tubes available, it is the only tube we use now.
