Great story! Glad you had a good time. I'm surprised you didn't get
jumped on, yet, for mentioning kids.

Were you pulling an actual tube, or a toy made for pulling? I'm
thinking of buying one for pulling my grandkids around, but don't know
which are good. Any suggestions?

John this is similar to what I have. they're cheap. you can lay down
on them or sit inside. either way their a good ride for the money.

of course, you need a portable compressor, that is unless you feel
like giving your lungs a 15 minute work out. I air mine up and it
slides perfectly in the back of my full size statio...OOPS! "tow
vehicle." They are a lot of fun.

But you can spend over 600 bucks on a tube-like toy if you feel like
pulling 4 or 5 people at once.

dual riders are usually in the 100$ range.

BTW, they tow so easy you don't know a 16 yr. old kid is back there.

another....(like mine)

A dual rider one might be nice, but I'm talking kids who are ten years
old or less. I'll have to get something though.

I've taken my (then) 8 yr. old niece tubing in mine. Of course I don't
have to go break-neck speed and swing her out of the wake. actually I
wasn't even on plane and she got a thrill out of it.

her older brothers? that was different!

I like it! I think the kids will also. Thanks for the research. Now I
have to see if I can find it for less money. I'm cheaper (no - more
frugal) than you are.
