Towables always bring some extra spice into your boating trip. With the extensive choice of towables existing on the market, you will always be able to find perfect towables appealing to your taste.

 

There are a great number various towables to choose from, like inflatable tubes and Subwing. To use towables, a motorized water craft is required. Depending on the towable type, a more or less powerful engine is recommended. When it comes to the inflatable tubes and wakeboards, the boat should go quite fast for a thrilling ride. Subwing is one of the rare towables, which do not require a powerful boat. In fact, the safety recommended speed should not exceed 2-3 knots. For the boat driver, this speed will seem slow, while the Subwing rider will enjoy a thrilling underwater flight having enough time to react if something comes in the way.

 

Towables, like a pair of water skis or a wakeboard, would require quite a bit of practice before you can master them and enjoy the experience in full.

 

Wakeboarding. Wakeboards are surface towables, involving riding a board over the water body surface. A wakeboard is a small, thin board with bindings mounted to it. These towables were developed from a combination of surfing, water skiing and snowboarding techniques. A wakeboard rider is towed by a boat at a speed around 35 km/h. The towing speed depends on a number of factors, like the weight of the rider, size of the board, how powerful the boat engine is and, most importantly, the rider’s comfort. There are a number of other means one can enjoy wakeboarding, like closed-course cable system, winches, jet ski or a personal water craft. Water skiing. Water skis are another type of surface towables, highly popular around the world. It is a water sport in which an individual is pulled behind a motorized water craft or a cable ski installation, skimming the water surface on two skis or one ski.
