Unfazed for inflatable boats

I saw other reviews but decided to take a chance. This towable device is not intended for use by adults. Difficult to control and stay on the pipe.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Blast on the Waves

This item arrived as claimed, is durable, has a few air pockets which is always nice and my kids and grandkids can ride and carry it around on the boat which makes for a fun day out is off. . Many Thanks

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • poorly thought out

Fun but challenging, best for boating

This is a fun tow boat but very difficult to hit if you don't have enough upper body strength. My wife and daughter had to be in calf deep water to start, but once they get on the plane it gets fun.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Very expensive

The first trip was fun.

Best for one person but two 13 year old boys had a great time together. Pretty big learning curve and still can't get it to follow the trail. It's a lot harder to push someone out in turns than our round tube. It probably won't be our favorite toy, but it's interesting to switch things up a bit.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Long delivery time

From the beginner to the adventurous, AMAZING!

Best trailed option we've found! This thing is very stable which is a plus for kids who are new to tubes or are put off by other tubes. The wings prevent tipping over and also ensure a very soft landing if you need to take a tumble. Just roll up the wing. For those who say it's unstable, this is really only for adult riders and you'll need to get your butt in the right position. Experiment. For me it's 3/4 way back. Lighter riders don't have this problem. My FAVORITE part: Jumping in and out of

Pros
  • Highly rated by testers for support and durability
Cons
  • Not as bold as other options

Everything was in order. Not the best and not the worst.

Everything is fine. Not the best and not the worst. Very slippery PVC material. We couldn't get in the water so we had to keep walking to the boat. Was pretty stable for (2) young teens. No way (2) adults. Was a bit unstable when driving alone. It was fun on the whips because you can fold the leading edge.

Pros
  • Lie down, sit, kneel, stand up and roll, no need for flimsy fins or fancy tow points
Cons
  • Update availability

Splashes in the face

This prevents you from crossing the water as advertised. He's not very stable for 2 people but I didn't expect him to be like that and didn't hit him for it. I hit him because he splashed water in your face because the nozzle is under the hose. We ordered an orb to fix it but it didn't work and now I can't return the phone. The ball is great. Disappointing Family by the Lake and My Paperback. We ordered another WoW product hoping it would be better.

Pros
  • Patented flex wing system ensures easy control
Cons
  • small things

This arrived just in time for the weekend. It looks like it will last for several years. On my previous SHARK GLIDE one of the seams was torn beyond repair. Ideal for young adults from 4ft to 5.6ft. My husband didn't like it because he was too tall and his knees bounced in the water which left a lot of bruises. Excellent control options, which makes my two little poodles swim beautifully on the lake. I liked the fact that the air intake was well designed and didn't get in the way. We've used it

Pros
  • The wings act like an oar going into the water to steer
Cons
  • Some imperfections

Fun BUT doesn't last long

This is the first tow tractor we've tested that claims to be driver driven. While not fully steerable, it gives the rider enough control to easily navigate back and forth behind the boat in the wake and avoid unwanted boat whips. With practice, some riders can get it to rock back and forth and out of the wave. But I'm sure it won't take very long. There is no protective cover and the rope from the boat is attached to a strap that is glued to the vinyl raft. If the driver falls, thisโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Foam grips with double webbing, knuckle guards, EVA foam pads
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
