Below are some suggestions on how to fly your tubes.

Most boats that are capable of pulling tubes at speeds between 18-23 miles per hour are capable of achieving a great flight.

However, you must have the right tube to get started.

Below are tubes that are designed for flight.

2. Wet-N-Wild Flyer - Great Flight

3. Patriot Air Glider (No Longer in Production) - Good Flight

4. Frequent Flyer - Good Flight

5. Stunt Flyer - Good Flight

Tips to Become a Better Pilot:

The first thing to consider is where the tow rope attaches to your boat.

Although it is possible to achieve a good flight with your rope attached to a standard tow point on the back of a boat, the use of a high attachment point, such as a wakeboard tower or ski pylon will make the flight even better.

Second, flying takes some skill from the rider. The rider will have to experiment on how to pull up on the tube, lean back, etc. In general, try sitting back on the tube as far as possible so that the front becomes light.

Just as science can be found in chaos, there’s an art to driving tubers. Sharp turns, multiple donuts and jammed throttles are nothing but gobbledygook on the water. A dazzling tube show takes finesse and creativity at the wheel. Nobody knows how to combine those skills like the Reids, the husband-and-wife team whose company, Launch, creates the Sportsstuff videos. Here’s how they turn simple tube rides into scenes good enough for a 30-minute thriller.

It sounds ridiculous when Stacey says, “I can get people hovering above the water for 200 yards.” But Stacey has created her own little textbook for this maneuver.

Boat direction: Head straight into the wind.

Speed: Once the tube is on plane, throttle up to 25 mph for kids, 30-32 mph for adults.

Rider tip: Ride on your stomach with your weight shifted as far back on the tube as possible, while pulling on the front handles.

Best tube: Use a round, deck-style tube.

Desired result: If the front of the tube is lifted slightly off the water at the beginning of the ride, the wind and boat speed will eventually create lift. Next thing you know, the tube is flying. It’s more of a horizontal flight than vertical.

Safety: Maintain a steady speed and a straight path. Any sudden movements could create an air shift, sending the rider into a splash landing.
