AIRHEADSwitchback Towable 1-4 Rider Tube for Boating and Water Sports, Double-Stitched Full Nylon Cover and Patented Speed Safety Valve for Easy Inflating and Deflating

I was just looking at these again for my brother who's buying a pontoon. Here's what I was just telling him: The switchback is awesome for 3 or 4 kids. They switch between chariot in the back and sit down in the front. My 13 year old son will bring a friend and my 15 year old daughter will, too. So, the girls will go in the front for a while while the boys ride chariot style in the back and then it's a switch and vice versa. The bad news is this tube isn't good for just 2 people. Like other reviewers noted and it's true- it sinks and plows under with just 2 people on the front sitting. In my mind the tube deserves 5 stars because it really is designed for more than 2 people. The quality is awesome, by the way. The stitching is HEAVY duty. We have 3 different style tubes. This is the only one that doesn't lose air over time. We've had this tube for 2 year and had it out on the water for countless hours, so I feel this review is fair

This tube is great for pulling behind any boat or jet ski. It has plenty of room to fit up to 4 adults easily. Like most tubes, just make sure you get a long enough tow rope to be far enough out of the white wash water from the boat motor, otherwise the tuber will get splashed in the face a lot. The tube is also large enough to just lay on in the water. The front rope tie hook is also a nice feature. The tube takes a good bit of air to fill up so you almost need a decent air compressor to fill it. It would be very time consuming to fill with a hand or foot pump.

This rides so easy for a 2 & 5 year old. My kids love it. The only suggestions I have is to either attach the rope to a high connection like a wake boom or add one of those tube booster balls to keep it from submarining. At the regular hook up point it will sink down.

This is the best tube we have ever owned. The design makes it easy for everyone to hold on with multiple handle options for all passengers. It has yet to tip over so if you are looking for the thrill of falling off, this isn't the tube for you. It takes waves so well we can go feet off the water without it tipping and still continue with the ride. The kids love it and it makes me feel more comfortable when they are out on the water. The back part is a little small so your feet at times may hang in the water. My 11 year old prefers the back saying it's even more fun than the front though. The design of the tube allows it to easily be secured on our particular boat - I feel like it takes up less room. Overall a 5 star rating and worth every penny!

So, we love that this holds four people. We had two adults in the back and two teens in the front and the quality is great. The only negative thing I can say is that there is an outer cover and the internal raft moves around independently. Every time we deflate it and store it, you have to fuss with it to get the access flaps and the inflation point to line back up. Maybe they are all like that, this was our first one.

The kids have all had a blast on this tube. They have experimented riding in the front and back; it's nice to have the option. So far it appears to be well constructed and will get a lot of use in the years to come.

So, I'm one of those lame people who never leaves reviews (sorry), but we love this tube so much that I'm making an exception. We've had it for about a month and regularly take our kids and their friends, who generally are ages 9-14, on it. They all love it. Like seriously love it. In fact, we've had 2 friends buy it after their kids tubed with us. It's just the right balance of sturdy and daring. (I'll admit to having gone on it myself-- it's fun for grown-ups too.) We've successfully towed 2,3,4, and 5 kids. We have not tried just 1. My only caution would be that if you only have riders on the front, it might submerge if you are going slowly. Best tube we've had!

We just blew up the tube for the first time and the seat back won’t stay inflated. It’s a huge bummer for the price. It would have worked perfectly for my younger kids. The window for returns already closed. Very Disappointed.

would buy again

Great tube and good for 4 teenagers. Of course, you need a boat that can pull that much weight. Easy to get back on when you get tossed off from the wake.

Easy to pull and gives option of 2 riders, 3 riders and 4 riders.

Quality tube, had a fun summer on it in 2018. No physical problems with it, the only disappointing thing is the rear riders must be kneeling or standing (me 😏) facing forward. If you’re sitting facing backwards you slide right off very quickly. I like that the tube is narrower than most. Action is really good with 4 riders, not as wild with two. Smaller kids would like the front position. We flatten the divider so my two boys can lay down on their stomachs. Good to have variety. 😄

Super fun tube! Exactly what we wanted and expected. Fun for the adults too!
