This thing takes abuse and keeps on going. After 3 summers I am buying a second one. It works great for normal tubing. The kids love for me to go slow and zig zag which they then submarine through large waves. Water covers everyone and the kids are all smiles. If you go just a little faster it glides back and forth over the water in a very stable manner. This is the best thing on the water.

We took it to Lake of The Ozarks and it was a big hit. Everyone that tryed it loved it.My Family had a blast as well as some of our friends.

I was surprised to read the negative comments. Our kids, 10, 12, & 16, and their friend loved riding this tube. They did have to be careful about submarining, but that is pretty common in any larger tube. We were able to give them great rides all summer.

Quality is built in and the ride is very stable for smaller children. However, you can give adults a fun ride as well. Tube is a little difficult loading and unloading due to its size but would definately buy it again.

The vinyl air bladder was installed upside down causing a gross malalignment of main filler tube and the Velcro access flap. When bladder is enpty one can reach around to find the filler tube and begin inlation. Unfortunately at about 80% of full inflation the increasing bpressure forces the inflator tube and the hand holding it out of position leaving a somewhat "limp" towable.The underflation creates a high load for the towing vehicle causing it to consume much more fuel. It is also not as much fun for the riders as it goes under wave rather than over them.I would pprefer not to return towable as a "limp" towable is better than no towable for the children. We are in the middle of our summer season now and We need to make the most of it.Do you have any suggestions as to how I can correct the problem my self?No point in taking a photo of the defect as when the filler flap is open you can not see anything but the white bladder. I can also not take a photo of the fill nozzel as it is out of sight opposite the filler flap.What I feel is the best solution is for you to send me another towable after it has been inspected, and I will return the defective unit in the new box (I discarded the original box before I first tried to inflate the towable).

This product is just flat un safe. We took this out for the first time this past weekend in mostly flat water. I had a 6 and 8 year old on it on the sides laying down. They don't weigh more than110 lbs between the two of them. We started to power forward and the tube nose dived and flipped over on them. Not Safe. We then went at it again and they started kneeling on their knees and leaning back and it worked fine and tracked well. Towards the end they wanted to lay down again and the same thing happened. It nose dived and flipped over.....I am going to attempt to return this unsafe item.

Variety of ride "thrills" with various speeds and turning action. Very stable for the smaller and less energetic riders, yet can provide appropriate thrills with careful practice. Helps to balance weight of riders toward center. 2 riders do well on the outside and the center left open.
