I am thinking about getting a 60" deck tube (Airhead "Slice") to tow behind the jet for the kids. Anybody tried one of these or have another towable for one or two peeps that works good and is fun behind the jet?
Plain old air mattress is a ball. 100 foot line to get in the flat wake. Hold the rope with both hands under the pillow. Let one of the smaller kids sit on your back.
Or how about a parasail with 1200' line. I built an electric level wind spool to play out the line. It quick connects to the back of my 21' condor.
Kids are grown now and I don't want to kill off any grandkids so it just sits in the bsmt.
In the 70s a 4' circle of plywood was popular. Not tied, more like a weird (slow) ski.
I guess tubes are too cool for u guys. most of u pull tubes so tell us what you got.
I got an airhead 3 person tube, it's great fun making sharp turns and gas it and watch the kids get slung from one side to the other over the wakes and holding on for dear life MUHAHAHAHAHA....
Seylor (I think) "Air Force", 72" of red/white/blue terror the kids love. That and water skis.
I usually pull one tube behind the boat, but frequently pull two. And I have pulled three, but I won't do that anymore. It's not that I can't pull them, it just puts WAY too much pressure on the ski tow.
The tubes I have are the Sports Stuff brand Wake Jet Plus, which you can't hardly find anymore. They are classified as one person tubes, but my son and step-son (both about 160-170 pounds) like to get on one tube for a pretty good ride. :crossx:
There are still some Wake Jet tubes out there, like here on E-bay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll..._BID_Stores_IT)

mostly Ford powered boats with a couple of people in it....
have you tried www.skitube.com (http://www.skitube.com)
lots of fun stuff there.
I'd love to have one, but I don't know if its worth the $600? Its called the Kite Tube, and I love the ad for for it. "Never kite higher than you are willing to fall". The pic is the boat at 20mph, and wind speed at 7mph. The kiter weighs 155lbs.
