Heads Up - Boatworld Daily Deals
Just a quick heads up.
Throughout January Boatworld are having daily deals with up to 75% off.
Today’s deal is a Demon 2 towable for just £37.50. Just ordered one to replace our aging Airhead Slash II
Worth keeping a weather eye out just in case there’s something you don’t really need but just can’t resist.

Hi chipko, do you think it would be suitable for a couple small kids/light teenager behind a sib/20hp?

Absolutely Steve, the kids had loads of fun back in the day on towables, kneeboards, wakeboards etc behind our sibs with 20 horse motors.
The Demon/Airhead style toys are not that draggy so will be fine behind a sib. They’re also steerable and often the go to choice with our kids. Great fun.
Steve, not on a Demon but here’s No 1 son getting a soaking behind our old Zodiac/Suzuki 20 combo. Two up in the boat and still plenty of Ooomph!

I looked at the towable and despite having no need was super tempted at that price. Asked Mrs F if she would like to be towed behind to make room in the boat and now things are a bit tense.

The first thing Diane said when I showed her the towable was, "will I be able to go on it" - I then showed her chipko's video!

Really pleased with that chipko.
Any specific pressure or just "thumb" pressure?

Steve, craigh…pretty sure you’ll have a whale of a time with the Demon 2
It’s pretty much a straight copy of the Airhead Slash 2 which we have, and the kids favourite as steerable to an extent. Great solo or two up.
