WipeOut: sit, stand, or kneel
Whoever said wipeouts aren't fun needs a serious pulse check. This inflatable tube is all about versatility. Handles are placed throughout the tube so you can sit, stand, or kneel your way across the water. And though we won't tell you to try tipping this thing over, you'll likely get the chance to catch some major air if it does. Boo-yah! To top it all off, the double-webbed foam deck and unique TRI-TOWER design don't just make this inflatable tube stand out on the lake — they give you plenty of room to fit one or two extra friends. Because as anyone who's been on the lake knows, more definitely makes merrier.

Straight talk: Engine and shaft alignment
