I had one that was really similar in shape to this when I was growing up. The cool thing about this one is if you only have one rider in it, and it's pretty windy out there is a good chance you'll get launched into the air if you jump the wake just right.

I wish I could find the video of my brother flying up getting launched ~10 ft in the air to post, but that's buried somewhere far far away. The triangle shape does make for some great lift if you lean into the wind.

Edit: I should add that On solo runs immediately after launching we'd usually flip over and fall ~5-10 ft into the water. Might be dangerous but we had a lot of fun doing it.

I am a fan of the flame skin on it. That would look pretty slick skimming across the water. Another benefit of the dual seat is if you are by yourself and hit a bump, you got a pretty good shot at just launching over to the other side.

This looks like fun.

What an odd name for a water toy.

Haha lichme got jacked.

Where does the fuel go?

In the inflatable headrests, where it says "FUEL."

Maybe that's happened to me, which is why i have so few BEAR ATTACK!.

Can someone tell me if this is a good deal?

This is a fantastic deal. Normally they are $250, $350 for a 3 seater

What I've found with this style of tube (I have one similar but a different brand) is that they are very stable and almost non-flippable. Consequently, great for kids up to about 6-7 and adults over 35. Older kids and younger adults are generally looking for something more dangerous (the low flat tubes are fairly popular now).

This is for sure a deal. As it was said before these are $250 or more usually.

And I do recall that a design similar to this was rather prone to going airborne. :-) mwuahahahahahahahaahaha the possibilities!!

Anyone know how this rides with just 1 rider?

With this having a weight limit of 340, is it designed for younger children? We have a lot of kids in the high 100's and need to make sure it would be durable with up to 400 lbs

I hate to admit it but I have a 1 person tube that has a weight limit of far less than people I put on it and it has been fine. I think it's 150lbs and I have put guys on it up to 240...lol Worst case is you break the tube. I don't think 400 pounds breaks this tube or is unsafe. It's probably safer actually cause it won't flip as easy!

this is a great deal these tubes are really expensive but very fun. Additionally perhaps because I am older I enjoy a tube where I can lay out and hold onto handles(or not!) in the front. Additionally as for the weight limit I wouldn't be worried about breaking it but know when you have a lot of weight you have to give it a faster start otherwise it will get pulled under.

I was wondering how this would be for adults...but it appears each adult would need to weigh 170 pounds each (per the weight capacity of 340 pounds max)...doubt that will be likely with two adults being 6 foot or taller. Even if one person is 200, the other person needs to be 140 or less... Guess this one is more for the kids then!!

Costco sells these each spring...well a 4 person version for usually around $200. And remember...Costco takes anything back anytime. Just saying...

Also, if you do buy one of these, be sure to do two things:

First, keep it covered up. Direct sunlight will break down the nylon and cause the straps to break prematurely.

Second, make sure you dry it COMPLETELY before storage.

So my Dad has a boat, and my husband and I go over a lot during the summer to fish and hang out. In order not to feel like a total mooch, we get fun accessories for the boat. This seems like a perfect new addition - but one question for previous users.

How is this for just lounging on if you are anchored and hanging out? We could use something like that almost more often than this and it would be awesome if this did double duty. I can't see why not, just wondering about comfort factor.

Would this be good for floating down a river? Or is this strictly a behind-a-boat in-a-lake type of toy?

Shipping issue? I received a shipping notification early Monday morning, but according to the FedEx website, it's still in the "initiated" phase. I called FedEx, and they said a label was printed, but they still haven't picked up the package. I was really hoping to take my kids tubing this weekend, so if you could provide some good news that it's actually on the way, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Jlawernce, My order is showing the same status.

Too bad, my boat is loaded and ready to go in the morning.

It is not on the way! I emailed customer support yesterday and they said "it is waiting to be picked up. Give it a couple days." Mine also says "shipped" but tracking info is correct- not shipped yet. Very misleading.

Same issue with my order. Sucks that you can't contact Woot to ask about the status. I'm done buying from monkeys.

Please email us at service@woot.com and we'll be glad to answers any questions or concerns you may have regarding the status of your order.

At least give us hint. They've been waiting for pick-up for a week now. Summer is shortly coming to an end.

woot says they shipped it on July 28th but fedex says they have only got a label request. Its the 6th of Aug. is this normal? Only other product I ordered from here came pretty quickly

If possible, it would be great to get a general update on the status of these orders, rather than each of us having to follow up individually. My weekend plans are tied to the arrival date of the tube, so any communication at this point would be helpful. Thanks, Jack

WooHoo mine is almost here

Thought i would give woot another try hopping amazon's customer service had rubbed off. I have yet to order anything that has shipped quickly. This order will be my last. I can handle shipping delays, but do not appriciate being lied to. Support is staying these were delivered to FedEx on the 30th, but tracking shows 8-6. Sorry, but it is very hard to believe that FedEx just let these sit for a week. Just be honest!

Woot marked the item shipped on 7-30, not 8-2. When tracking was not updated through the week, I contacted support to see what the issue was. I was told my order was shipped but Fedex shows they did not receive the order until 8-7. So if your logic was correct, Fedex was notified on 7-30, they should have picked up the order on 7-31, and scanned 8-1.

We advise allowing up to 5 business days (not counting the day of the sale) for processing and shipment. If FedEx was contacted on 8/2, they might not have picked them up until 8/3 (Friday). Then scanned them in on Monday.
