Dont modify a tube, and make sure your shorts are tight!

To celebrate my ttle sister's birthday today, we went to the lake. A total of 3 boats, and lots of people.

We decided to go tubing.

1. My shorts started slipping. When I waved for them to stop, they gave the boat more gas, resulting in my cousin flying clean off, which in turn made me fly off. Sitting in the water, Im thinking to myself "why does it feel weird down there?" and realized I had no shorts on. Looked around and saw my shorts floating 3 lenghts away.

2. My cousin went by himself. I was driving, his brother was spotting. I did a figure 8, tossed him clear out of the wake, and kept going in the circle to keep him outside. We hit another boat's wake, and he was off the tube. He came swimming back up, only to realize he was exposing himself.

4. same situation as above, the spotter and tuber switched positions, same driving, same reason for flying off, except his shorts stayed on, but his boxers ripped. (how does this happen?)

5. My uncle decided just trying to stay on was too easy. He attached a rope to the handles, held onto the rope, and stood up. My dad was driving, I was driving the chase boat, one of his sons was spotting. He went outside the boat's wake, fell, and had the rope wrap around his leg, giving him rope burn, tearing his skin, and tore the muscle. I had to drive him to the ER.

6. While driving our boat, I had a pretty open lake, no chop, only me on board, I was crusing along at around 50MPH. 1 PWCs were going to jump my wake, and they were going to attempt to clear each other. They ended up hitting each other, resulting in a cracked hull on one PWC, and the rubber trim on the other to go missing. Police arrive, decide its both of their faults, both are fined $500. Somehow, a fight started, and the culprits were hauled away, with the local PD towing away their PWCs.

For the rope thing: "Here's your sign". But the shorts thing is pretty funny. At least you found them!

Re: Dont modify a tube, and make sure your shorts are tight!

sounds like an exciting day.

yesterday a couple of my buddies decided to rent a seadoo. They wanted me to bring my boat along so there would be something for the wives/kids to ride while we were all taking turns on the seadoo. they also decided to rent one of those 2 person tubes to tow behind my boat(I only have a one person tube). My boat is not superfast....but it'll do 40 MPH........and when you whip the tube around, that tube must be doing close to 80. I was tossing the women all day, but they kept coming back for more.

My buddy started to brag that there was no way he and I could be tossed off the tube. (he is like 6'5".280lbs....I am 5' 10", 220lbs) One of the wives decided to take our challenge. Everyone else was resting on the beach which was probably a good thing because she was driving the hell outta my boat. She had never driven a boat before that day.but she learned real quick...even my trick of doing a quick 270 degree turn and jumoing the tube off your own wake (gaurantee that tube will catch air) 30 secs into our ride my buddy and me knew we were eventually going in the drink. She was insane. After 10 mins or so my buddy eventually was tossed.....and I was thrown about 5 secs later. I somehow got turned around, and was planeing on my back, headfirst, for probably 20 feet. When all was said and done my shorts ended up around my knees.

When she pulled the boat around to see if I was OK, I flipped upside down in the water.....sticking my milky white cheeks up in the air to show her her trophy.

It was a great day.....but we are all very sore today.

The good thing about tubing in cold water is when your shorts come off no one can see much anyhow:^ !
