anyone have any experience with this towable?? it looks like it would be alot of fun. It has an open back and fins on the underside to make it steerable. just wondering if anyone had used. i have had the big bertha tube, a couple other tubes, one of the flat saucer type tubes, but looking for something different. thanks in advance

Re: airhead rip II tube-

I have no personal experience with these, but can tell you what I've read on other forums. Those fins are too small to make it steerable. That being said, I thought that the Rip looked like it would do nicely doubling as a water chair sitting backwards with your legs dangling off the back.<br /><br />I searched my other frequently visited forums and found these (thought I was getting deja vu for a minute there at trailerboats):<br /> http://www.boatingabc.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?/topic/12/206.html#000005 <br /> http://boards.trailerboats.com/cgi-...imatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=9;t=000134#000000 <br /><br />I hope it's not against the rules here to link to other forums. Sorry if it is.

$76 wow. I couldn't find them for under $110. We ended up going with a more traditional tube since it was our first one. If you've found it for that price, please let me know where so I can check prices on some other toys I want. Thanks.

walmart! 76.22- figure its worth a shot, even if not steerable all that much. atleast its an open back tube easier for some to board. it was on walmart.com too.
