Repair your ski tube or boat towable

Filed under Ski Tubing Tips by

Does your ski tube, water trampoline or bounce platform have a leak? Does you old faithful boat towable have a hole in it?
Ski tubes are made to withstand the constant abuse of the wake and the riders but sometimes they can get holes or tears. You don’t have to buy a new ski tube unless of course you really want one. You can repair them and possibly get a season full of rides with the repair. No ski tube owner should be with out a PVC repair kit. With a ski tube repair kit you can easily repair small holes or tears and be right back into the action! Check out this boat towable repair kit for $15.99.

This repair kit also works wonders on PVC water trampolines and Bounce Platforms!

Pump up your ski tube or boat towable.

There are many ways to inflate your boat towable or ski tube. Get an electric pump and have your tube inflated in no time!

So you have your new ski tube, tow rope and tow harness, well your going to need a pump for that boat towable and there are quite a few pumps on the market today. The choice really depends on how fast you want to get that tube inflated and on the water.

There are manual hand pumps. Sure they require a little more work but when there is no electricity around then what other choice do you have? I like to keep a manual pump in my boat as a spare. There are also manual foot pumps.

Then we have the electric pumps. These pumps will get your tube inflated quickly but there are quite a few choices for electric pumps as well.

There are 12 volt electric pumps that will work in the old lighter adapter.

There are also rechargeable 12 volt air pumps.

So when it comes to pumps for your new or that old favorite ski tube, there are many choices and each pump has it ups and downs.

Get ready to do some flying on this awesome ski tube!

Sportsstuff ski tubes are some of the best boat towables in the industry. They are made solid and will withstand the abuse of the wake.

The Sportsstuff Frequent flyer is single rider tube and a double rider tube. It lives up it’s name and will have you flying in the air behind the boat.

When we took this boat towable for a spin we had a blast. With our electric pump it was a snap to inflate this ski tube. Once inflated it was time to go for a ride. This ski tube is big, it measures in at 76 inches and has so many hand holds that you can sit or lay anywhere on it. It has a flat deck and a full nylon covering and PVC bladder and an EVA foam body. It’s built tough and rides super smooth!

Our fist spin on this ski tube and we were having a blast. We came right off the wake and were flying off the water on this boat towable. What was only a second or two seemed like an eternity while we were flying and that is a good thing. It was so much fun! I love this ski tube and would recommend it to anyone just starting out or for the seasoned ski tuber who wants to add a new tube to his or her inventory.
