That is amazing. We pull it with our jet ski (3 seater).

I only post products that deserve it. This is amazing stuff. We pull it on our 3 seater jet ski and the kids LOVE IT. If it's not being towed, they just mount and float away. Excellent, durable product, comfortably sleeps 3 children or two full size adults.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide

You have the most fun at 120 km/h

Where else can brothers joke about how they ride a giant sausage? This thing survived 75 mph of a supercharged jet ski, and let me tell you, my brothers' faces were priceless. Then we hooked about 6 kids to this thing and changed their lives to the point where they have to seek level 10 thrills for the rest of their lives. I've never seen such a magnificent sight at 75 mph. Thing just needs a treat and moves on. um sausages!

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • old

30 days return policy for defective items?

Took this to the lake and didn't even survive a full weekend when one of the fans started leaking. The bun on the right side of the device doesn't even hold air for five minutes and was only able to use it for a couple of hours. I don't get to the lake that often so the 30 day return window closed on me before I could even use it. At this point I will try to go back to the manufacturer for a replacement but overall it was not a good experience for me and I doubt I will buy more Revain sea toys.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Disappearing

AIRHEAD HD-5 Jumbo Dog Towable

I am very disappointed with Revain and the Airhead product that we have purchased. Firstly it was at a good price. The 2nd came quickly. The 3rd box was sealed very well and we didn't think about it further. We live in Maine and bought this as a Christmas present for our teenage girls. We opened it up to inflate and found it looked like it had been used and sent back. THIS WAS NOT NEW! When we pumped it up, part of the rearmost top end peeled off layer by layer, leaving us with a huge bulge onโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Many Items

Great for 2 small children, maybe not so much for 2 adults at the same time

We had so many memories of vacationing with your double dog this summer. I'm not sure which was more fun: driving it or joking about hot dogs while watching the racers. Especially good for my niece and nephew, 7 and 10 years old. They were a good weight for it and I couldn't drop them quickly. Adults had their fun too, only two adults is a bit cramped. They sit very close and I was afraid I wouldn't bang my teeth on the back of the head of the person in front of me! Difficult/impossible to getโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Negative point available

AIRHEAD HAS THE WORST customer service! BEWARE!

We bought this hot dog and as soon as my husband blew it up for the first time the big look was fully revealed. After the first use on the river, several seams came undone and I can't breathe. I contacted Airhead and they told me to send a warranty claim form, photos of the problem and proof of purchase and they can send me a new float. I told them we use it every weekend so we need it fast. I sent all the information within 30 minutes. When they saw that we had just bought a float from Revainโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Good but wish the side chambers (buns) had a better air shaft/plug. The ones that use them have an internal valve (clear rubber flap) that's so tight that I had to use a narrow, long nozzle to poke it inward to let air in, making it very slow. Usually a low pressure, high volume pump is used for something like this, so the choke shouldn't be that tight. Also, improper handling of the needle will cause some air to escape after it is withdrawn. However, once filled, the kids loved it! It'sโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Requires an outlet

Disappointing ride

Our teenage daughter helped me choose when I was looking for an inner tube that would be difficult to ride and subject to frequent falls. She watched the video and thought it would be fun. Unfortunately, I think a design flaw is really limiting it. The tow point is too low and well below center. Why does it matter? This means the towline is always dragging through the water, making it difficult for the boat to move the tube from side to side and almost impossible to get the tube out of the wake

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Clarity
