Tubing Equipment
Our facility uses a four-person seated position style tube called the “Great Big Mable HD”. Due to our tube replacement every few weeks, our equipment always stays in mind condition! We have found this tube to be the best for commercial use, having the top ratio between safety and comfort along with offering an unforgettable and thrilling ride where riders will not be bored from its amazing sensation. Unlike the old-fashion “banana boat”were riders get pulled behind in a straight line, our four-person tube lets riders swing side to side, and glide over the waves! The buoy will be towed by a high-end 25ft powerboat.
