Are you looking for a great way to keep your ski tube or boat towable in your boat and out of the way?
Check out the tube keeper! This great little device will do just that. Keep your ski tube tied down and out of the way while you are under way! Did you just ask yourself, How does this tube keeper work? Well I am going to tell you! It’s pretty simple but most great tools or inventions are fairly simple. Someone once said to me don’t you know about the K.I.S.S. theory? I thought to myself, nope never heard of it. They replied K.I.S.S. is an anagram for Keep It Simple Stupid! So let’s check out the tube keeper. It should be in every tube owners inventory, just like and electric pump or a super duty tow rope.
The tube keeper has handy two inch wide straps that will attach your ski tube or boat towable to your boat’s stern and tighten it down for a secure hold. One end of the straps attach around the ski tube or boat towable’s handles and the other end can attach to your boat with the 3.5 inch suction cups or the stretch cords which can be hooked into a cleat or a rail. This can be a great way to keep your ski tube in place and save some space at the same time. At the time of this writing the tube keeper is only $9.00, that’s another reason why every tube owner should have one.
So you want to fly? So you want to fly a kite tube?
Ski tubing is a great watersport. It is easy and just about anyone can enjoy it but just like any other sports there is always the extreme and when I say extreme ski tubing, I mean High flying kite tubes. The name says it all : Ski tubes that fly kinda like a kite. Kite tubing can be very dangerous and should be done by professionals after all the tube does fly quite high while you are being towed at a high rate of speed. I think you can figure out what the possibilities of a crash would be but now that you have been warned let’s look at these kite tubes.
The most popular flying ski tube today is The Manta Ray Flying Ski tube by sevylor and from what I have seen it is one hell of a wild ride! This kite tube gets major air and stays there.

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.
