Shop Towable Tubes by Size
1-Person Towable Tubes
Experience maximum thrill with solo rider tubes. Choose deck-style tubes for high-speed rides and airtime, or cockpit-style tubes for more control and stability. Popular models include the WOW Thriller, Super Bubba, and Mega Duckies. Perfect for teens and adults looking for fast, exciting rides.
2-Person Towable Tubes
Enjoy the ride with a friend or family member. Available in side-by-side and face-to-face configurations, these tubes offer a great balance of excitement and shared fun. Popular models include the WOW Bingo 2, Sister Act, and Jet Boat. This is the most versatile size and ideal for siblings or parent-child combinations.
3-Person Towable Tubes
A great option for small families, these tubes provide the perfect mix of stability and excitement. Popular models include the WOW Super Dog, Ace Racing, and Big Boy Racing. These tubes are stable enough for younger riders while still delivering plenty of fun, making them a top choice for families with kids.
4-Person Towable Tubes
Bring everyone along with larger, more stable tubes designed for group fun. Popular models include the WOW Big Bubba, Giant Bubba, and Colossal Bubba. These tubes offer a smooth and comfortable ride, making them ideal for younger children and mixed-age groups. Larger tubes require higher horsepower boats for best performance.
Deck vs Cockpit Tubes
Deck-style tubes are designed for riders to lay flat, offering faster speeds and more aggressive rides. Cockpit-style tubes provide seated positions with backrests, making them more comfortable and safer for younger riders and families.

Tow Ropes, Pumps & Repair Kits
Complete your setup with the right accessories. Tow ropes should be 50–60 feet long and rated for your tube’s capacity, typically ranging from 2,375 to 6,000 pounds of breaking strength. Always use a tube-specific rope rather than a ski rope. Electric 12V pumps make inflation quick and easy, while manual pumps are great as a backup. Repair kits with PVC patches and adhesive are essential for quick fixes.
How to Choose the Right Tube
Choosing the right tube depends on your family size, skill level, and boat horsepower.
For families with one or two riders, a 2-person tube offers the most versatility. Families with three riders benefit most from a 3-person tube, while larger families should consider 4-person or bigger options.
Beginners and younger riders should choose cockpit-style tubes for comfort and safety. Intermediate riders can explore 2- or 3-person tubes with mixed riding styles. Advanced riders often prefer 1- or 2-person deck tubes for speed and performance.
Boat horsepower also matters. Smaller tubes for one or two riders require at least 40 horsepower. Three-person tubes typically need 60 horsepower, while four-person tubes require at least 75 horsepower. Larger tubes perform best with 90 horsepower or more.

Tubing Safety Essentials
Always prioritize safety when tubing. All riders should wear properly fitted life jackets. Use a designated spotter to watch riders at all times. Only use tow ropes designed specifically for tubing.
