A tube ride at 60 mph = roost feels like gravel when it hits your back and black & blue from knees to toes . I only wish i had a picture of the roost landing behind me ......

Sadly that was the one and only time I have ever pulled a tube, or anything
They stayed on until I opened up the exhaust

My sister got inbetween to pretty husky guys on that tube and it turned into a full rescue mission and got scary. Their was no alcohol involved thank god but somehow when they flew into hte air and came crushing down on her. Shes about 110 and the other guys averaged 180. She got knocked in the head and if it wasnt for life jackets we probably wouldnt of found her. Before you knew it there were about 20 people swimming towards her as she was just face down in the water and not moving. We flipped her over and got her on shore asap and she stared to come to when we got her on land. We almost called coast gaurd and fdle to help us get her out of their but was coherebt enouugh for us to put her on mmy boat and i blew back to the ramp avoiding no wakes and other mariner rules but i was willing to take the risk. We already had friends at the ramp who rushed her to the hospital and it turned out she got a pretty serious cocussion and if it wasnt for the life jacket it may not have turned out so well. Just please always wear a life jacket on any tube or tow behind device. It can and will save your life

I was on the tube, my buddy said he was doing 65 went he went into the turn.
They called me "Skippy" the rest of the weekend.
...and yes, the turbulence/rooster tail felt like gravel.

Got tossed about 15' into the air off a tube going through chop, misjudged a beach skiing off the back of a jet ski and landed face down, and found a normal tube turns into a kite tube at 63 behind my stingray stayed a solid 3' above the water for a long ways!
