What riding tubes do you have? What you like/dislike/recomend etc.
I am looking for one and can't decide, kinda leaning to a two person sit up tube. I had the Air head two seater which i liked but don't have...

I actually am considering picking up one they sell at gander mountain for my daughter. It;s just a single tube, which to me, if you are gonna be on one, the smaller the better!

I have been looking at the ho switch. Seems super functiona. 3 tubes in 1. Pretty big though.

We have a triangle design one (same as the round ones with the hole in the center). It sits low to the water and is very stable.

Good for the rider, bad for the driver if you try to knock them off without going too fast.

I would think of getting one of the round/solid top flat tubes. That would be low to the water and a nice floating pad when not tubing.

Thats the kind my kids like best. The flat topped ones that are wide and sit low to the water. I have an HO donut hole one too, and it only gets used if they both want to go on seperate tubes at the same time.

I prefer the smaller tubes, the single person. They are easier to manage and you can pull several at once and are also fairly cheap. Also, they are really good for just pulling people around or trying to get some serious air. Heres a picture from this winter...

That pic is awesome.

We rarely get the tubes out but everyone we boat with definitely prefer the newer flat top tubes. One person tube if they really want a ride or two - three person tubes to cruise around on, which I don't allow behind our boat unless they are little kids :lol:

I like the large flat tubes. You can get plenty of air, and the kids like going out all at once with their friends. And as the driver I can get them off the tube whenever I get bored and want to do something else.
