SPORTSSTUFF 1-3 Rider Towable Tube

As far as fun, this is a hit with everyone 4-60+. A full 5 stars on design. After 2 months (under 20 hours of use) there is now an odd split in the front middle of the bladder (tube that inflates). It split (small) vertical to the seam, very odd. Outer fabric is in great shape which leads me to think there is a manufacturing flaw. I have been very cautious to properly use, store, and inflate this expensive towable. I will be contacting them for a product warranty but not without losing out on the last weeks of summer. Update: as recommended, I filled out the warranty in August shortly after I got a response that the warranty would be honored and a replacement 'bladder' would be sent. It arrived in February. Hopefully they were searching for a new manufacturer. Update: 3rd season, once again a split, a little under an inch in the bladder (different than last time but still a manufacture thing) I was able to patch it with tube patch stuff so hopefully it will hold. The outer part is holding up very well, not like new but close. Very modest fraying and color fade. All the handles and such are in great condition and considering the use, that is very impressive. Pros- Everyone LOVES it. Fun going fast or slow. So many ride options that suite very young or cautious to extreme. Hard to roll, especially with one rider but we can if we really try. Cons- If I have to put one, it is really big and need two persons to carry.
