Need recommendations for towables for kids
Posted on 6/20/14 at 9:07 am
Posted on 6/20/14 at 9:07 am
I'm looking to buy some new towables to pull my kids ages 6, 9, and 11 behind my boat and party barge. We have a tube and ski's already, but looking for something else they would enjoy, anyone have recommendations?

kneeboard or check out a ZUP - they are kinda pricey though.

see if they are man enough to hold the rope with their teeth

So you don't like your kids? Just put them up for adoption, manslaughter is messy.
Unless you can do this activity in the middle of a private lake I would not recommend it. I've seen two funerals in the past three years related to this activity.

Nope, if I was an OT-baller I would just buy one of everything that looks cool and try it out. I have a budget of about $250 to pick up something fun, so want to get feedback on what others would or wouldn't recommend.
Anyone used one of these? Speed Ray Inflatable

What a pussy

I have been pulling two sets of grandchildren over the past 6 years - the latest 9 and 11yrs old. I bought the kind that has about 6 inch ribbed air tubes in the bottom - my camp is on Pass Manchac and it can get pretty choppy there and those tubes with ribbed air tubes in the bottom seem to work for them not bouncing so much.

You sound miserable to be around.

Not a private lake, but a lake that is not busy with other boats, and in an area where trees and stumps have been removed when the water was low.

What a complex, well thought-out response.
There's risk in everything, pulling kids on a tube in a narrow bayou lined with stumps and trees with drunk rednecks piloting other boats and jet-skis is unacceptable in my world. Pulling them in a private lake with no close obstructions? Better.

You sound like a bad judge of character and someone who makes poor snap judgments.

I figured too many words might confuse you and my point wouldn't be as clear

Big Bertha. Big enough for 2 kids

This was your response to me asking about recommendations for boat towables. Without asking for any details you assumed:

I'm sorry if that's what your friends do and you had to go to funerals because of it. Maybe you are the bad judge of character and should pick smarter people to be friends with? My family has been pulling tubes and ski's for 25 years in this area and nobody has ever been hurt.
Why do people like you feel the need to come in and shite all over threads? You have done nothing but waste space in this thread.

thanks for response to the OP Big Bertha is actually the tube I have now and the kids like it, I was trying to find something different for this summer.

We pull them in a UFO.
There is a 2-person and a 3-person model. The kids sit in it side by side and hold on to the handles.
Works well and is safe.

What? Tubing is a freaking blast. My best childhood memories are me and my best friend wedged into a one-person inner tube (we were tiny) and singing "I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts" as loud as we could while my Dad tried to do circles and make us hit waves crashing into each other.
We used to mimic the recommended hand gestures written on the inner tube and they were hilarious. Dad always ignored the "slow down" gesture.

I never liked the ones you lay on, but lots of people do. I like the inner tube with the material on the bottom so you don't hit the water with your arse if you sit in it. You can sit in it, kneel in it, lay across it, etc.

Great Big Mable
We've gone through a lot of tubes and this one is by far the best. The kids enjoy it more than any other and it is so incredibly well made. The only problem is that it's so freakin' big that it's tough to store when not in use.
ETA: there's smaller sizes of this tube (2 man or 3 man) if you only have 3 kids.
