When the say we’ve tested the durability, that’s an understatement. The teenage kids love it so it gets a lot of use. It can easily fit 3 teenage boys, but we tend to only allow 2 at a time for safety of not knocking heads when they go over waves. One really important feature is the strength of the handles that the rider holds onto. They are extremely strong. Finally, one thing to note is that due to the size we’ve learned to inflate it out where we do the tubing rather than in advance on the dock. That’s just preference.

While we've only used it twice so far, it's been great and the kids love it. The only downside is that it's heavy to haul down and back up from the lake.

This was our third towable for the summer and this one we loved. We purchased two other brands that weren't quite as large and not as cushioned. One of the others had a leak straight out of the packaging. It was smooth enough that we were able to put our four year old grandson on it with his Dad and he barely bounced. If you are looking for a super bouncy ride and a tipable towable this is not the one for you. It's steady and smooth compared to others.

This thing is a beast. It is very well made with good seams and stitching. It inflates quickly given its size. It is very heavy and cumbersome to move around on dry land, but in the water it works great. It glides across the water and can be used forward facing or rear facing. I would recommend getting a buoy ball to keep the line out of the water. It is easy to clean and stores deflated in a small area on the boat. This is worth every penny. It is great for smaller kids that feel safer with a full back and higher sides.

Great toy as can be towed as a sofa or reversible to kneel as a chariot. Very popular with all ages. Great ride regardless of the water conditions!
