Cant get tubes outside of the wake!
So I have been having a problem with getting the tubes to swing outside of my wake. I never had this problem before having kids. I could whip adults around like nothing. Since I have had kids there hasn’t been much adult rides. My kids are 5 and 6 and are looking for a more wild ride now and I cant get them out side of the wake to save my life!
I have 2 54in round cheap tubes with 50ft of rope. I connect off the two tie down eyes on the back of the boats with one of those things designed to pull from the center. The boat is a n 18ft aluminum bowrider with a 120 rude.
I cut hard and do S turns and they just track right behind the boat! I have cut as hard as the boat will turn at that speed.
Is the issue their lack of weight and the weight being low in the tube vs the heavier adults laying on top of the tube? Anything I can do to get the little ones to swing more?
