    Default Floating pads

    I keep seeing these ads for the floating pads popping up on FB and the deal is very good, but it makes me wonder if it's TOO good especially since the website seems to change every time......anyone purchased one of these? If so, is it worth the $$$?

    Thats pretty darn cheap

    These things are pretty popular and my kids love them. They are a hassle to deal with tho haha

    Foam ones appeared to be a pain in the azz for rolling up and storing.

    I bought a HO Play Pad that inflates. Can rollup and store when finished with it.

    I second that...huge pain in the arse, takes up too much room and constantly in the way. Go the route below, they fold up and go into storage and if your crew buys them as well you can zip them together and make a huge layout/king of the mountain wrestling pad for wives/kids.

    old vid been passed around but I'd blame the rider more than the boat owner. lack of paying attention not to mention missing proper gear.

    I think I'd be a little suspect of those advertised at $49. seems a little cheap for that much foam?

    Yeah they are bulky af

    The inflatable is a good idea if u keep a small electric pump on board.
    Not sure it performs as well as the foam tho.

    Holy sh!t! I have never seen that video. That was crazy.

    That would be a killer price for one of those pads. We have one and will bring it out if we have a big crew and will be hanging out on the beach. The kids love it. Other than that it stays in storage.

    As much as I agree the rider choked and made a mistake, it is the boat owner who was at fault for not safely securing his boat gear.

    The lake I am on mostly, I see those things fall out of boats more than anything else.

    Fun for everyone at the sandbar except the Dad that has to deal with it.

    The guy on that crotch rocket had every opportunity to safely swerve around that pad but choose to try and ride over it...f'ing stupid!!
