The Airhead Glide Ski tube in one heck of an awesome ride. Check out this review and then watch the video!
The Airhead Glide is an awesome one person ski tube that costs around 59 bucks. This is a great price for your first ski tube and let me tell you it is one fun ride.
Hooking up this tube was a snap and we were on the water and tubing in no time! The Airhead Glide tube is made from a virgin vinyl. It has electronically welded seems and the covering is double stitched nylon which makes this tube rugged and an easy glider. It slides across the water with ease and has very little drag on our boat. Bouncing in the wake with this ski tube is a blast and when the boat driver took us for a quick loop through the wake we did manage to catch a little air as this tube flew over the waves! We had a blast in this tube and I think you will too!
Check out the Airhead Glide in action in this video!

You bought your tow rope. You bought your ski tube and now you want to know how to attach the tow rope to the tube. Don’t get discouraged it’s easy!
Today’s water sports market offers so many choices. There are many different boats, ski tubes, boat towables and tow ropes. First things first, let’s make sure that you have the correct tow rope for the correct tube. For more info on that just go here.
So let’s get started hooking up your new boat towable. I like to use a tow harness when hooking up my ski tubes. The one in the picture below will work just fine.
If you don’t have a tow harness, I would suggest getting one. You can find a nice selection of them here.

We will be focusing on one particular part of the tow harness, it is the white connector. Your ski tube should have one similar.
Let’s hook the tow harness to our tow rope first. You need to locate the end of your tow rope. It should have a loop in it. Feed the loop through the hole in the connector. Some super duty tow ropes might be difficult to fit through that small hole but if you twist them they will fit.
Now you should have the loop through the hole in the center of the connector like this.
Now you need to pull the other end of the tow rope through the loop that you just fed through the harness connector.
Once you have fed the other end of the tow rope all the way through pull it tight and you should have something like this.
Now just repeat the whole process for your ski tube hookup. Now you should have your tow rope hooked to your boat towable and hooked to the harness. Now we need to hook the harness to the boat.
Most boats have eyelets located on the transom or back where the motor is. Simply attach the hooks from the tow harness to the eyelets like this.
I hope you found this helpful!
