Choosing the right Water Ski Tube |
||||
|
As summer approaches and the days get warmer, boaters will start to think about their favorite past time, Boating. And if your family is anything like mine, we tend get very excited about getting out the old water ski tubes. As you pull these tubes out of the shed or garage and start to pump air into them, you may realize, like we did this year, that its time to think about purchasing a new water ski tube. Here are a few tips when considering your new purchase. |

Consider the following: Do you need more than one style of tube? My family has several ski tubes for different level riders. Our teenagers are going to be riding a much different tube than the younger children and a different tube as the older parents. So, strongly consider the types of tubes you’ll need in you ever growing boating supply collection.
For more advanced singe riders you may want to think about getting the lower profile deck tubes, such as the Sportsstuff Stunt Flyer or the Airhead Hot shot. Both of these tubes are low profile, easy to store, and convenient for fitting on you boat while your not riding.
If you would like to have a ski tube that can fit more than one rider, but still feel the speed and thrill of falling off into the rushing cold water. You may want to look into the Airhead Matrix V2, or the Sportsstuff Frequent Flyer. Both are two person ski tubes that have a low profile deck. The Matrix V2 has winged sides for excellent maneuverability, and the Frequent Flyer has a large thin deck that makes you feel as if your speeding across the lake and about to lift off.
If you’re looking for a ski tube that would work great for both adults and children, check out the Sportsstuff Mable series. These ski tubes are available from one-rider up to four-rider sizes. The Mable series feature multiple tow points with lots of handles; it has a high back for more relaxing rides. In the Airhead brand you may want to check out the Airhead Hot Dog. This ski tube is a three-rider, hot dog style tube that is great for relaxing rides either behind your pontoon or you ski boat. This tube is a ton of fun for both adults and children.
Now we’re getting into the extreme and specialty ski tubes. The AirheaUfO is one of the newest specialty ski tubes on the market. This tube has different tow point depending on the ride you want. And on you experience. This is a four-rider ski tube that will spin on its axle like a top. The speed of the spin will vary depending on the speed of the boat. If you don’t want to spin you can switch the tow harness to a different location, and simply ride it like a standard ski tube. Be ready to fly into the rushing cold water as the gravity spins you off. A few more specialty extreme ski tubes are available in the Sportsstuff Brand of tubes. The Sportsstuff Gyro is sphere shaped ski tube that has a handle in side the funnel. While you’re inside the tube, it will spin 360 degrees as the boat is pulling you. This tube is only recommended for the more advance tuber.
There are too many exciting ski tubes for me to mention here, but the most important part of you selection is the types of riders you are towing. Our site has great videos where you can see some of these water ski tubes in action, and help make your selection easier. We are always available to help you and to answer any of you questions. I’ll see you on the water.
