Airhead Mable Inflatable Towable Tube, 1-4 Rider Models, Dual Tow Points, Full Nylon Cover, EVA Foam Pads, Patented Speed Valve, Boat Tubes and Towables

I bought this in July 23. The handles have fallen apart. I guess from the sun. They attach with velcro. I called customer service and they said I have to buy the whole cover. You can't buy just the handles. Great customer service. They sent me a new cover. But don’t leave in the sun. Even if you deflate it.

Perfect for the kids and grandkids. We have used 1 season but it all went good

Great Item!! I highly recommend this product! Very prompt delivery. Excellent Seller!

As described

I purchased this so I could pull my Grandkids and their parents around the lake. This Tube is massive in size. I kind of wish I had gotten the next size down but it is what it is. This thing is heavy and hard to handle on the boat. My boat is pretty large for a freshwater lake bowrider at 26 1/2' and it does have a sizable swim platform but when we are running and I have this tube up out of the water on the swim platform there is room for nothing else. Also note that when in the water behind your boat it is heavy and takes a good amount of power to pull, especially in turns. My boat has a big block V8 and I'm glad, this tube is a beast. It is a good tube and my family loves it. The Mabel series are known for being safe with the sides and back and I would agree with that. If you are considering this tube just be aware that it is really big when inflated and it is pretty heavy and hard to deflate and get folded up while on the water.

I purchased this tube to replace a lay-down style tube that warped (bloated) in the middle. There was only 1 review when I bought this, but I took a chance and it was worth the risk and the price - so far :). Here is what I've learned/picked-up from using Mable.Survival Tip 1:This thing can get some major air (5ft!) when the water is very choppy from boat/pwc traffic (on the 4th of July weekend for example). This is really cool, until the rider comes down. So, a word of advice - from experience - if you get major air ***LET GO***! Yes, this may seem to go against your initial instincts to hold on for dear life. But, here is something to consider - you will have two outcomes if you hold on: A) you will get ejected after the impact OR B) you will get a good amount of whiplash. Our riders had some not-so-fun-and-painful landings/ejections when they held on, but were fine if they let go mid-air. If you are not going to provide a flat ride, and are looking to catch a good amount of air, your may want to inform your rider(s) of this.Survival Tip 2:Mable isn't a one-trick towable. Mable can fly and tip and flip! While Mable may seem bottom-heavy (and thus non-flippable), if you whip the tube out wide enough and fast enough (i.g. boat speed around 20MPH) you can lose your rider(s). I don't think we had any injuries from tipping or flipping, besides riders having the occasional collision while on the tube.Survival Tip 3:With adult riders and with Mable in the 'chariot' (kneeling) position, our boat wasn't strong enough to get Mable started unless the riders leaned back. So, tip 3 is to LEAN BACK when in the chariot position to get started. Afterwards, the rider can get comfortable without trouble. As a side note, when we had one rider and had speeds between 10MPH and 15MPH, Mable nosedived in the 'lounge' position. She would also sometimes drag or tip over without a rider, usually when the boat slowed down from lower speeds that were between 10MPH and 15MPH.General Tidbits:-Switching the position of Mable is really easy.-She also stays inflated very well - we didn't have to re-inflate after the initial inflation.-The handles and padded areas can rub on the rider(s) skin. If you want maximum protection for your skin, wear long pants when kneeling. Longer bottoms may also be a good idea for sitting too since regular swimsuits may ride-up. Gloves may be a good idea for extended rides, or you'll risk blisters.---Overall, the Big Mable is an awesome tube. It handles all sorts of riders, it has held up well (over three months with at least 2 weeks of heavy use/abuse), and it is very very fun. It is easy to switch positions.---Notes:Used only on fresh-water lake.

This product not well-made at all. After contacting their customer service about getting a replacement, they refused to work with us at all, zero... we received this one as a gift 10 months before (so most of it's life was in a garage in the winter) and it self-destructed. There is little light that was hitting it and they tell me that light destroys the handles... can you believe that, light.. on an outdoor product! I'm supposed to store it inside, which we coincidentally did anyway. It was always in a covered boat house or in a garage. In its short life, it had very little actual lake use and only by very small children. It was not abused in any way. But... none of that matters, as they refuse to help us without a receipt. I can cite the exact day that our family gave it to us as a gift, but they don't care. No receipt, no service. We have tried to get the receipt, but they paid cash and discarded it.Actual correspondence from the company- "The product can be in the sun but when left in the sun for a long period of time can cause the cover to fray and the handles do tend to start ripping." And in an earlier reply, they offered PARTS to fix it at a whopping 20% discount, woo hoo... Am I supposed to sew these on myself? LOL"However we can give you a 20% discount on the part that you need. The code you will use is SCOTT20. It looks like the cover is frayed which is usually caused from being left out in the sun. When taking a break it is always better to store the towable under some shade or shelter until its ready to be used again." Sad company...
