Ok does anyone have either of the following, if so which one would you get?

tcwozere · 04 July 2006, 13:04

Got the alligator, or shark as it was.. Good fun, but prolly a little too tame for you..

I managed to tow with the two girls, and some Irish hitchiker,

at Priory Bay last year, with no real problem..

We also have a Jobe Tribal, which can go a little faster.. (As Martin found out..

)

Taking the shark to France.. And your more than welcome to try either out anytime..

So perhaps the Jobe Lighning which I missed off first time round would be better?

Hope you ditched the hitchhiker good and proper

I expect the corks on his hat might have kept him afloat

The Lightening looks like last years Tribal.. Gonna have to trade my Tribal in, don't want people thinking I can only afford last years stuff..

We bought the Tribal thinking it might be easy for the girls to clamber onto, rather than the Shark..

Least it would match the Rib

, apparently it is designed to float around on in the waves/water.

Richard remember to check your OK to tow it with your current insurance, I had to upgrade for toys. Enjoy

Tony,

Does the tribal have fins on the bottom so you can steer it? If so I wanna play!

vince · 04 July 2006, 17:25

Do you have a Costco down near you? They got a huge selection of toobs at very good £ we got the seadoo (jetski style in your 1st pic) for 99 quids ! a lot of fun with 3 on.

Jeff Pike · 04 July 2006, 21:00

I bought the Tribal - chariot style with open back. Easy to haul yourself back onto & can use it 2 up. Stable & you can steer it to some degree. Good fun.

I have 3 kids - 5 year old girl, 8 year old boy and 14 year old boy. Which do you think would be the best toy for them. The croc or a big ringo type thing.

vince · 07 July 2006, 14:16

I would have thought that with them being so young, they would want to stay in the toob, so anything flat and with higher sides could be the way to go. we got the 3 man jet ski style because of our 8 year old. She cant stand water on her face! Its a lot deeper than most + you can get an adult in it to keep an eye on them. works well.

Bought it from here on recommendation:-

Superb, major thumbs up all round from those laughing in the boat to those riding it.

another flying toob but loads cheaper!

I just had a thought. Would these flying toys work at all without a ski tower to tow from? I have my doubts.
