We have the "AirHead" 2 man , Can't remember name of it.It's blue W/red teeth on the front Has a back rest. They make them in 1,2,3,4 man versions It's great either moving or for just lounging (wife) while I fish. Also get the Air head QUICK disconnect SO much better then pulling 60' tow rope thru attach point!! We also have the airhead 12v pump, BUT 1st time out on the H190 The fuse WAS rated @12 & blew :shock: :evil: SO swap out the 12v outlet fuse (if it's not a 15amp fuse )BEFORE you try to blow up the tow-a-ble. Lesson WELL learned !! Other then that the pump is GREAT stores easy & works fast!!

I have two of you're typical one-man "donut" tubes for tube-wars. This year I also got a "Gyro" (Sportstuff) for $25 at an auction. I'll post as soon as I know how it is.

For inflation, I bought one of those blowers at Walmart for $20. It has enough battery to just inflate both tubes, or my air mattress. It will also run off AC or 12v DC when plugged in. I highly recommend everybody have one. Inflate, Play, Deflate, go. that easy!

So I have picked up 2 of the airhead blasts at BW. I have a couple of tube ropes on loan, but am starting to look at picking a couple up. Should I get 1 rider ropes (2k) or maybe 3-4 rider ropes (4-6k)? I usually have the bigger is better philosophy, but is there a reason not to get the bigger ropes other than I don't need it with my 1 person tubes? Will the heaver rope drag in the wake due to its weight?

We addressed that in another thread...
My experience is the heavier rope drags in the wake, making it difficult to get riders outside the wake.

Ok..Thanks. I'll go with the lighter weight ropes.
