I'll be the naysayer on this one... centrifugal motion on a towable with a tight line between it and the boat looks like it could increase the risk of injury. Also, that's a BIG towable, I'd be worried you might rip your tow point out if it got too jerky.
 
I have to agree. It looks like a LOT of stress and drag. I wonder if it has a hull tho. Would then be more like towing a boat than a big heavy blob.
 
That looks like a TON of fun!

[Fight Starter] Can I tow that from the tower? [/Fight Starter]
We ALL talked about it and you can tow it from your tower, but no one else can. We think your "special"... ???
 
Looks like fun but the fuel consumption would steer me away. It's already a PITA with a 3 person tube, storing, airing up/down, drying out. I can't imagine trying to deal with that big 'ol thing. Seems to me that it would be something that you would see for an excursion in the Caribbean/Gulf.
 
I'm out. The channel I travel on is too narrow for this. That thing is HUGE. Looks like fun though...
 
I wonder if I could get that thing air borne?
 
There are 12 people in that thing!
