Totally tubular - the dictionary claims that expression came from some rad California surfers in the '70s, but here at Bakes, we're inclined to believe that the association with awesomeness came from the towable tubes pulled behind performance boats.
And why not? Compared to surfing, tubing has many advantages. For one thing, you don't have to wait around for the perfect wave. Simply rev up the boat's engine and you can create endless waves in your wake. It's no wonder towable rafts and tubes are so popular.
Which tube is best for you? We get this question a lot, so we've compiled some suggestions based on our customers' favorite inflatables.
Terrific Tubes
First you'll have to determine how many fun-seekers will be riding each tube. A two-person tube is ideal for sparking a little intimacy in the water, while hot-doggers might prefer a one-person craft to show off their moves. Three-person tubes are perfect for groups of three amigos and four-person tubes are especially great for family outings.
If you're looking for a single-person tube, you might choose to go with a classic. The Radar Vortex Yellow Green Tube is the one that started it all and it remains a customer favorite.
When two's company, but three's a crowd, the Radar UFO Two-Person Tube may be the one that floats your boat. A classic tube with a modern twist, this oversized donut tube has an inflatable seat cushion.
For triple threats out there, the Radar Teacup Three-Person Tube is the way to go. This oversized classic tube has a bolster surrounding the entire tube for secure seating. For family fun, the Radar Galaxy Four-Person Tube is your ticket. This triangular tube has extremely low drag for extra thrills on the water.
