Thread: Tubing from the Tower?

I've indoctrinated my wife and son that the best tube is the one that you leave at home. Boardsports and skiing only for us.
As others have said, not from the tower. think about how you'll have the rope get slack and the huge jerk you feel when the tube is dragging in the water and the slack's taken up. No thanks.
I see that you have a direct drive. obviously the pylon is the strongest tow point. But hardly convenient for anyone sitting in the back seat. Maybe that's your excuse? that since you can't have people sitting in the back seat there's just not enough room to have people out and tow a tube.2008 Moomba Mobius XLV.

I popped a tube one time six or more feet into the air perfectly ejecting everyone only to have it submarine itself into another wave practically stopping my boat upon landing. Hardest force I've ever felt on my boat and glad it wasn't from my tower.
A wise man once told me the quicker you get the riders to tap out the quicker you can put it away. *cough *cough Berg..

I tow the little kids on the three person tube from the tower, but they are 6 and under usually only 2 on at a time, and don't get crazy with them, I like the rope high so I stays out of the wake when just putting around with them, but when the teenagers get on and the serious tubing starts ,then its down to the pylon, I love pulling tubers , just something about making them catch air makes me smile, and the little kids love cruising around it, if they are smiling , im smiling. driving in a strait line all day surfing gets pretty old and boring , nice to change it up a bit , and nothing better than making teenagers buckle and cry uncle.

When you got some people towing from the tower where it should never be towed from, it's well needed I guess....
