What inflatable towable to you have??

[rb8484]

Hey guys. As most of you know, I got my new boat last weekend and am looking at getting a new inflatable towable. What do you guys have?? The boat came with 2 round towable tubes, but I want to try something differant. Any suggestions?? I was kind of looking at this one..........

Depends on what you're looking for. A lot of tubes do different things.
Some general things I have found from our tubes is this;
The taller the tube, the more air it'll hold. This will give you a bouncy-wild ride. The more slender the tube, round hole or flat, will give you a somewhat faster turn out, resulting in less control, but a fun ride none the less.
My daughter likes the larger flat tubes. I prefer the tall round w/ hole.
We have the BIG MABLE also. Similar in concept as what you are looking at. Only the Mable can be pulled forward or backward. It is like a big sofa or a chariot. A lot of fun either way.
Good luck and be safe...

I have a Sevylor Ski Bob, and my kids have great fun on it

Here's a friend and my 5 yo son.

I've got a 'Orageous' Wake Spider that I got from Academy for $69 on sale 5 years ago. It still works great. It's a wide, flat tube. We've had up to 3 friends on it at once and even have had people "surf" on it standing up.

Have the Delta Double, Thing is big enough for 3 and yet very, very fun for one.

We have the Chariot Warbird 2 and a basic round tube. The warbird is by far everyone's favorite of the two. I don't think you'd be going wrong with the warbird or something similar, and I'd definately recommend something like that over a basic round tube any day. You may also want to consider spending the bit extra for a two person vs. one person if your boat can pull it.

BTW, the warbird can also be towed both directions. The flexibility to entertain a wider variety of riders is where the bigger fancier reversible (warbird, big mable, etc) tubes shine. You may also want to consider spending the bit extra for a two person vs. one person if your boat can pull it.

We have a Chariot Warbird 2 as well and all our kids and friends want is riding this one with other kids? We have start to making kids ware a kayak helmet since they would hit each other when they bounce around.

I have a few Sevylor tow behinds, all of which use Sharkglide material. I love how it gives you a smoother, faster ride than any others I've ever used. And it dries a lot faster!
