lulu 1 by SpoRtSStuff $359.95 The Lulu 1 is a revolutionary new towable that introduces rider control to the equation. If you're bored of just sitting on a towable waiting to be thrown off, imagine being able to perform spins, jumps, and even slaloms to the amazement of your friends! This is the most advanced towable to hit the market in the past 30 years, and incorporates a patent- pending veer tow system combined with strategically-located Tiger Tooth fins, enabling the rider to control the Lulu 1 through various moves. All riders, boat drivers, and spotters are novices when it comes to the Lulu 1; start at reduced speeds until everyone gains con- fidence in using this new technology. oRbit by SevyloR $501.99 Remember those old Spin 'N Says from your childhood? The one where you'd pull a string and a large arrow would spin around and around until landing on a farm animal, and then the toy would make the sound of this specific animal? Well, the Orbit is just like that, minus the farm animals. Kids, as well as kids at heart, will enjoy spinning around and around and won't want to stop. Because of the axis point on the bottom of the tube, the Orbit will rotate while being pulled behind a boat. But the real challenge is getting the tube to spin even faster while going over wakes and watching the others that are with you hold on for their lives. The Orbit allows up to three riders, and a large, stainless steel swivel attached to a replaceable harness prevents the tow line from getting tangled. bat-X-Ray by SpoRtSStuff $139.95 Skill tubing is a new and challenging experience, far different from riding tubes you just hang on to. The Bat-X-Ray gives you the control to slalom, jump, veer, or even do a combination of your own moves, all while going through the boat wake or in a straight-line boat pattern. Doables are patent-pending new shapes that have less drag with smaller footprints for reduced gas consumption. The patent-pending bottom "veer" tow system, combined with the strategically-located, extra-large patent-pending Tiger Tooth fins enable the rider to control the Bat-X-Ray PVC in various shoelace-type moved. As always with a new ride, start out at low speeds to give everyone involved a chance to adapt to the technology. tRanSfoRmeR by aiRhead $324.99 Good value, packed with fun, that's what you get with Airhead's Transformer. You have your choice between a deck tube and a cockpit tube at any time; the transformation between the two can be made in seconds! Young children especially will enjoy the safe and secure feeling of cockpit mode, with its inflated floors and deluxe handles with neoprene knuckle guards. Teens and adults will prefer the wilder deck tube. To transform this two-rider towable from mild to wild, simply insert the two inflatable bladders to fill the cockpit and roll the neoprene pads into place. If you have one small child and a teen or adult, you can mix it up and ride one side cockpit, the other deck! Transformer is built to last from rugged 840-denier nylon and 30-gauge vinyl. Features include the heavy-duty Kwik-Connect and Boston valve. Measures 64 by 58 inches deflated. feature 27 August 2009
