Normally when using a tube with a jet ski, I'm lucky if I can get it to go out of the wake. But with this tube, it doesn't just go out of the wake, its almost right a long side me! Easily the best tube I've ever owned

Had a family reunion on Ess Lake and everyone wanted to use our tube. It's sturdy and the handles are nice to hang on to. Made very well.

I bought this to have as a second tube to be able to tow two at a time. It is much smaller and can really only hold one person, 2 if they are small. They only downside to this tube is that the tube is exposed and we already punctured it twice this summer. Luckily, Obrien supplies a patch kit and it worked great. This tube really gets some air compared to the bigger ones.

I bought this tube after reading other reviews that said it was a good tube. They did say it was hard to air up - it really isn't but some other tubes are easier. I also didn't know if I wanted a thin tube or a fat tube like this one and I didn't know if I wanted the top covered or open. After a weekend at the lake I'm glad we got this thick tube and I'm glad it is open on the top. I think a closed top would be a little easier for the kids but we had a lot of fun making the adults set in the tube and throwing them off. The only thing I didn't like about this tube is that sometimes (I don't know the exact reason) the tube will come out of the cover. This would normally happen if someone fell off and the cover started taking on water while it was up-side-down. We also had to add air to it a couple times between riders but that might have been our fault for putting adults out there. I think it is a good starter tube that might last a year or two. I don't know if there are others tubes out there that will last longer or not but the price is what hooked us.

I've got three Tubesters. I just received them a couple weeks ago and have only used them a few times. So far they work fine. They seem to be well constructed.

Some people have complained about being hard to inflate. I made an adapter out of some old automotive air conditioning hose that just fits into the air valve. The inside diameter of the adapter hose is just the right size for my air compressor. Works great.

WE BOUGHT THIS FROM AMAZON AT A VERY GOOD PRICE. AMAZON SHIPPED IT FOR FREE. IT TOOK ABOUT 3-4 DAYS TO GET IT. AMAZON EVEN GAVE ME A TRACKING # TO SEE WHERE IT IS. CANT BEAT THE PRICE PLUS NO SHIPPING CHARGE YOU CANT GO WRONG.THANK-YOU
