The kid and dad are discussing how to beat the record. Dad wants to web the armpits for more lift and hang time and wants to fine tune the speed of the boat for best launch angle. The kid wants a helmet, more padding and a mouthpiece.
Every kid should have a memory like this. I remember looking at my cousin in the air upside down vividly when I was 7 on almost the same tube with a similar wake
I grew up in an inner city suburb so most of my fun-time memories as a pre teen involve impacts with concrete. Asfalt was a little softer but then you usually had more speed since you were probably out on a road at that point. Also some minor shoplifting. Living in the countryside now and they hate me.
Man, an entire generation of kids were brought up being absolutely PUNISHED by their dads and uncles on these tubes! My big toe nail got ripped off once when my uncle cornered his jet boat somewhere between 50 MPH and Mach 1 while towing me on a tube! I cried, he laughed, and I was tougher afterwards! Good old fashioned character building stuff here!
Man, the best of times; trying to hold on for dear life, shifting weight with your friends around the tube so you don't flip while your dad is looking for every possible wave to destroy you with. I've got home videos I need to go watch.
We call waves lined up in a row outside of the wake a “graveyard.” The challenge is to give a good ride with causing injury. Every dad has experienced the following scenario. Kids say, “don’t throw us off.” No problem. After about 5 minutes the kids act bored and pretend to be sleeping on the tube. Then mom says “get ‘em!” Then the driver speeds up, hits waves, tosses the kids off, kids cry and say “why did you do that?”…… then they ask for another ride.
Oh man I miss doing things like this. My dad used to tow us into this little cove on the local lake and start doing circles in the cove and the waves would start bouncing back off the shore and meeting back in the middle and they'd get MASSIVE. I've been thrown in the air like this more times then I can count and it was fun as hell. We didn't have a visit inner tube like that, we just had those little circular ones that could carry 2 people each hanging off a side.
When I was 13 on an inner tube my dad got me in a circle whip. Dad said the boat was doing about 25 mph, but I was on the outside edge doing about 85 mph! If I would’ve wiped out I’d probably have done about 20 cartwheels and a short hospital stay.
I had an experience like this as a kid. With our first tube, my brother and I hit a wave, and everyone said we were launched about 10 ft in the air. All I remember is being on the tube one second, in the air another, then a hard landing after at. XD
My grandpa used to take me and my sister and cousins tubing every year. Really good times. He passed a year and a half ago to cancer at just his mid 60s. I am so glad we went tubing with him though. I will never forget the memories I made.
Oh yeah, these things build character. My dad used to think it was hilarious to sling my brother and I through the weeds along the sides of, really, any Florida river or stream. Bonus points if we fell off in said weeds. He'd swing back around while we were fighting for our lives and shout "WATCH OUT FOR THAT SNAKE!" or "WATCH OUT FOR THAT GATOR!". Lol, good times.
@@BigChungusthe3rd yup. They were more scared of us though. I only worried about snakes. Can't tell you how many times we swam in random creeks and streams, only to see a gator slip out a little bit later.
I was in a 3 person tube with just me and another dude. His dad was driving like a mad man whipping us around in tight corners. We hit the wake and went monster Airborne then went inverted about 15 feet up. While we were inverted my partner gets ejected straight down into the water. Losing all that weight, I flipped right side up and landed. After we circled back to pick his son up out of the water he was beat up pretty bad. We had to take him back into shore. It was awesome!
ouch. this happened to me one time except i hit something in the water and split my entire face open. when you’re going that fast, water is like concrete.
@@Shaolin91z I'm not a killjoy. I was just speaking of a real life thing that happened to me. Always an insensitive-nonpersonable PRICK in the comments section 😂
Yea basically drive in circles, you create some overlapping waves that can be huge then you swing the tubes overtop. Great fun, we spent hours and hours as kids doing that.
Called a double up wakeboarded for years. Run a straight line swing out and turn and drive straight back into the wake you just made. The wake from the straight line and the wake that you are making when they meet will make the wakes merge. Look up how to make a double up wake. Wakeboarding you hit the second or 3rd double up you will get huge air 3rd is hard to hit
If u do a figure eight you can build two waves that will meet in one massive pillar of water. Got drug through those by my brother a half dozen times until he finally got it just right. Cartwheeled 20 feet up through the air before rolling a good dozen times through the water
I remember doing this as a kid. Half of the fun (If you got knocked off) was to see how far you’d get launched. And even as an adult… im an experienced swimmer. But you always should wear a life jacket in these scenarios. You can easily get the wind knocked out of you. So you gotta have something to help you stay up
Nothing like the feeling of becoming a human pendulum before going ass end up outside of the wake and just riding the surface (which feels like an asphalt road for about 5 seconds)
One time I was riding on one of these, but we hit a wave and I almost flew off, but I was still holding on. I was dragged through the water at mach 10, holding on for dear life for a full minute before they stopped to let me get back on. Priceless.
I had this happen to me, except my mom was on the other side of the tube and her weight launched me around double the height that this kid went. It’s so terrifying and fun at the same time
I remember when I was at my dads friends lake house and I went tubing and it was one of those ones where you have to hold on for dear life. Anyway I got a concussion and some good memories.
I hate that tube. Don't get me wrong the weight is all in the back and allows for a wild ride. But the couch section holds you in so well that there is no way you are falling off of that thing. I got bored after a while and let go and even then it took a bit to throw me off. My favorite ones are the small flat tubes. It's got to be just the right size where it feels stable to ride in a straight line, but as soon as you start going sideways and skipping over waves it becomes a balancing act just I stay on the tube.
We were pulling someone on a tube called the Ninja Blaster once. It was shaped like a donut without a hole in the middle. He went so high that the cars driving by on the interstate bridge all started honking their horns... 🤣😂🤣
This happened to me and my step dad once. I flew higher than my step dad did so I landed right on top of him as he was swimming up to the surface which pushed him further down into the water.
One of my funniest memories with my friends growing up was getting launched from the tube and cart wheeling across the water. Kids need wild experiences, it's what makes life worth living
I grew up in a Mormon congregation in Utah and during my latter adolescence, we had this awesome bodybuilding mailman for a bishop. I guess he'd be really frugal despite having a huge home and five kids and made a lot of solid investments because, for a couple summers, he brought a motorboat to the parish water party at a reservoir. We'd don full-face crash helmets and life vests then he'd drag six of us on two massive tubes behind his boat with wicked fury. We had "tube wars" and would try to jump on one another's tubes to throw people off and the victorious side would get double iced cream for a reward. We had to stop though after gas prices skyrocketed, the housing market collapsed, and one of my friends bucked another kid in the head when we hit the boat's wake...causing him to black out and topple into the water. It was awesome but, after that kid's mom menaced bishop with a possible lawsuit, he went back just to a single tube...still fun but, not as much as it used to be.
i have a several interesting tubing memories. my feet touched my head once. i was not a flexible 13 year old and i already had back issues, so that sucked. another time, my dads friend was pulling THREE tubes at once. 10 kids. 3 person flat tubes. dude was going stupidly fast, making whirlpools, and hitting VERY sharp turns. my tube flipped onto another one and i was the only one who held on. he skipped us like rocks. looking back, how did anyone think that was a good idea? 🤨
I remember being super drunk on one of these while my friends went so fast that it was hovering above the water. I finally fell off at some point and it felt like hitting concrete
Driver is everything in these circumstances. Theres a fun way to catch big air and a super dangerous way. Hitting at super high speeds is the dangerous way.
My dad and my friends dad found a way where if you drive the boat in a figure 8 shape then there are VERY tall square waves, it's almost impossible to stay in the tube
When I was about 7 or 8, I was tubing with my aunt and my brother who was about 3 or 4. We hit a massive wave and we all were flung in the air. My brother and my aunt hut heads. My brother was fine, but my aunt’s head was so,it open and she had to have it glued together.
I remember going on a tube like this on a decently sized lake and when me and my brother had our fun we slowed down and a we ended up catching a fish 😂 good times back then. Wish I could go back
I remember my friends dad would occasionally take us tubing with the jet ski, it was basically our version of X Games 😂😂😂 his little brother would hold on so hard that the handles ripped off and we all went flying
When we went tubing in the 1970s it was a real inner tube complete with the inflation stem ( pointing down) and you hung on for dear life. Today's kids are wimps . I witness tube flyoffs weekly
This was prime time for busting a move in my day. Then again we had hairspray that you could coat your hands with and light them on fire. You wouldn't feel crap for almost a solid it minute, it was glorious.
Mom’s freaking out.
Dad’s laughing hysterically.
The kid understands the idea of death for the first time.
That's how tubing should be. Just next to concussions and mom very worried!
women sure love to scream in videos where things go down
I had quite the opposite experience.
It was exhilarating and I wanted to do it again *immediately!*
That sums it up to a T. Nice job.

It was definitely a blast! We used to whip the rope with the boat, and they would scatter everywhere lol
