Great handle placement...lots of confidence in this tube.

This tube is BIG. The side wing design allows for aggressive side to side action accross the wake. Allows for high speed whips while keeping the riders on board. Can be easily boarded in the water. Stable enough to stand and mount or dismount from side of boat as well. So stable that even younger kids (7-8 year olds) feel safe and will enjoy the ride. It can be a liesure ride around the lake for those looking to relax, yet can give a very aggressive ride for the thrill seekers. If you can only buy one tube to try and make the whole family happy, this would be the one. It does it all. Three riders fit comfortably (but won't catch much air). A single rider can be made to catch a lot of air. Easy to learn how to drive the boat to adjust to what ever ride you are striving for. We have a few different design tubes, round, narrow, and sit in, but this tube gets the most use. The quick release makes for easy changes. Boston valve makes for quick inflate and deflate! Only negative about this tube (maybe just this one) is that the rear zipper comes open often while towing. It doesn't effect the tube or the ride in any way, we simply re-zip it when changing riders. May be a design flaw or maybe just this zipper? Wouldn't consider giving up this tube for any other.

Note: As with many style tubes, riders need to lean back slightly when first starting off until the tube plaines off. After that, the riders can move all around the tube and the nose won't be effected.

When three persons are using this tube at the same time (it is made for 3) they tend to bump heads with the person in the center in rough water, a potential for serious injury.
