Can you go tubing with two people?
When you’re shopping for your very first tube, consider looking for one that can hold two adult-sized riders. A two-person tube is large enough for two riders, and it’s also small enough for a single rider to control without any difficulty. We have plenty of 1- and 2-person tubes available — they’re perfect for jet skis. Grab the right rope, and get an adjustable pylon to tow your riders safely.Tow Pylon: Most PWC aren’t equipped with tow points strong enough for tubes or skiers, so you’ll likely need a tow pylon, a sturdy structure that mounts on the back of your boat and provides a dedicated tow point. Tow Rope: A strong, sport specific tow-rated rope is essential.
Can you pull a tube with a 2 person jet ski?
Don’t Tow More Than Two Riders Regardless of your jet ski’s towing setup, you shouldn’t try to tow more than two riders on an appropriately sized tube. Jet skis simply don’t have the hull strength or power of a larger boat. They can’t effectively hold up to the force of towing 3, 4, or more riders on larger tubes. Vessel operators towing a person(s) on water skis, aquaplanes, surfboards, inner tubes or any similar devices must obey these laws also. A person may not be towed behind a vessel from sunset to sunrise.Only tow a tube if the boat has a qualified driver and capable observer. Tow in control; ‘getting air’ is fine, but overdoing it, especially on multi-person models, can slam riders’ bodies into each other or objects and cause severe injuries.
How far should a tube be behind a boat?
Generally, it’s recommended to keep a distance of at least 50-60 feet between the boat and the tube. This distance ensures that the riders have plenty of room to enjoy the ride and avoid any potential collisions. Keep the boat speed between 8 to 12 mph for small kids. For teenagers and adults, it’s okay to speed up to 15 to 20 mph. The ideal towing speed depends on the rider’s comfort and water conditions. You’ll need to slow down when the water is rough.Generally, it’s recommended to keep a distance of at least 50-60 feet between the boat and the tube. This distance ensures that the riders have plenty of room to enjoy the ride and avoid any potential collisions.For 1- to 2-person tubes, a speed of 20 to 25 MPH is recommended. This is generally the safe limit for most towed tubes — speeds higher than this can place stress on the tube’s attachment anchor. For adults and larger tubes, 30 to 35 MPH may be safe.Keep the boat speed between 8 to 12 mph for small kids. For teenagers and adults, it’s okay to speed up to 15 to 20 mph.
