For those not familiar with the sport of tubing one of the first questions one might ask is what equipment do I need and how much will it cost. In it's simplest form you'll need a power boat, a sturdy tow rope 50' or longer and the tube. The tubes we're talking about are designed specifically for towing thus are called towables. More specifically this review will focus on deck tubes as being an all around economical, flexible fun craft for the whole family.
Deck tubes are basically round or similar shaped towables of various sizes configured with tow line attachments, handles, and a deck covering the 'donut' hole that you lay or kneel on while being towed. The fabric 'deck' provides a way of laying on the tube comfortably with your face near the water thus giving an enhanced feeling of speed. In addition the deck can act as a sail when it catches the air such as when you cross the wake at high speed. This makes it harder to keep stable and it's this challenge of staying upright that increases the fun for teenagers and young adults. At the same time a deck tube provides a safe low speed experience for younger children and adults who want a fun but slower spin around the lake.
