Towables & Tubes FAQ

What should I know about towables and tubes?

When purchasing a towable tube, some important factors to consider include:

  • Number of riders: Make sure to choose a tube that can accommodate the number of people who will be using it.
  • Materials: Look for tubes made of durable, puncture-resistant materials such as heavy-duty PVC or nylon.
  • Shape: Tubes come in a variety of shapes, such as round, "donut," or "deck" style. Round tubes are the most traditional and offer a smooth ride, while "donut" or "deck" style tubes provide more stability and seating options.
  • Handles: Look for towable tubes that have multiple grab handles, as these will make it easier for riders to hold on while being towed.

When using a towable tube, it is important to properly inflate it before use and ensure that it is securely attached to the tow rope. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety guidelines, and never exceed the recommended number of riders or weight capacity. It's also essential to wear a personal floatation device (PFD) while using a towable tube.

What's the best towable tube for adults?

The best towable tube for adults will depend on your specific needs and preferences. Some factors to consider when choosing a towable tube include the number of riders, the size and shape of the tube, and the type of riding you plan to do (e.g. lounging, jumping, or doing tricks). Some popular options for adult towable tubes include the O'Brien Super Screamer, the Rave Sports Turbo Chute, and the Airhead Mach 2. It's always a good idea to read reviews and compare features before making a purchase.

What are some safety precautions for towable tubes for boating? 

There are several safety precautions to keep in mind when using towable tubes for boating:

  1. Always wear a life jacket: Always make sure that everyone on the towable tube is wearing a properly fitting life jacket.
  2. Check the weather: Before heading out on the water, check the weather forecast to ensure that conditions are safe for boating.
  3. Have a spotter: It is important to have a spotter in the boat who is watching the riders on the towable tube at all times.
  4. Use a proper tow rope: Make sure that the tow rope is the appropriate length and strength for the size and weight of the towable tube.
  5. Keep a safe distance: Always keep a safe distance from other boats and obstacles in the water.
  6. Check the tube's condition: Before each ride, inspect the towable tube for any damage or wear, including leaks, holes, and rips.
  7. Do not exceed the maximum capacity: Do not exceed the maximum number of riders or weight limit as specified by the manufacturer.
  8. Avoid alcohol: Avoid alcohol while boating, as it impairs judgement and reaction time, and increases the risk of accidents.
  9. Be aware of other boats: Be aware of other boats and watercraft in the area, and follow all boating laws and regulations.
  10. Have a first aid kit: It is always a good idea to have a first aid kit on board in case of any injuries.

By following these safety precautions, you can help ensure that your towable tube boating experience is safe and enjoyable for everyone involved.

How do I care and maintain my inflatable tubes for boats?

Here are some tips for caring and maintaining your inflatable tubes for boats:

  1. Clean and dry the tube after each use: Before storing the tube, make sure to clean it off and dry it thoroughly to prevent mold and mildew.
  2. Store the tube in a cool, dry place: When not in use, store the tube in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent damage from UV rays.
  3. Check for leaks and punctures: Before each use, check the tube for any leaks or punctures and repair them promptly with a patch kit.
  4. Use a mild soap and water to clean: To clean the tube, use a mild soap and water, avoiding any harsh chemicals or abrasives.
  5. Use a protectant for vinyl: To help protect the vinyl from sun damage, use a protectant specifically made for vinyl.
  6. Keep it inflated: To maintain the shape of the tube, it is a good idea to keep it slightly inflated when not in use.
  7. Use the right inflator: It is important to use the right inflator (or air pump) for the tube and not over-inflate the tube, as it can cause damage.
  8. Keep the valves closed: Make sure to keep the valves closed to prevent air leakage and dust accumulation.
  9. Check the tow rope and handle: Check the tow rope and handle for any damage or wear, and replace them if necessary.

By following these tips, you can help prolong the life of your inflatable tubes and ensure that they are in good condition for your next boating adventure.

What's the ideal speed of a boat for towable floats?

The ideal speed for a boat when towing a towable float will vary depending on the float design, rider skill level and safety precautions. Generally, the recommended speed for towing a towable float is between 10-15 mph, but it's recommended to always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for the specific product you have.

It's important to note that at high speeds, the towable float can become unstable and increase the risk of accidents. Therefore, it's important to start at a slower speed and gradually increase it as the rider becomes comfortable. Also, it's important to keep in mind that the rider's skill level and experience will also play a role in determining the ideal speed.

Additionally, it's important to keep in mind that the rider's safety is the priority and the rider should be able to let the driver know if the speed is too high or too low. It's also important to keep in mind that the ideal speed should be adjusted based on the water conditions, such as wind, waves and water traffic.

In any case, it's important to keep an eye on the rider and make sure that they are comfortable and safe at all times.

  2. Airhead G-Force: This is a three-person towable tube that is perfect for more adventurous riders who want to do tricks and jumps.
