Innertubing with a Motor Boat

Innertubing is one of the most enjoyable water activities for children and people who are not balance inclined.  Innertubing is fun, and when the proper precautions are taken, is also much safer than waterskiing or wakeboarding.  For innertubing, you will need at least three people, one person driving the boat, one person flagging, and one person being pulled in the innertube.  The person flagging is necessary to alert other boaters when the innertuber is down in the water, and also alert the driver in case the innertuber asks for the boat to be stopped.  You’ll also need a special tow rope to pull the innertube; the strength of a regular rope isn’t enough to support an innertube. 

With the proper safety measures, you’re sure to have an entire day of fun innertubing with your family and friends.  Remember to let the driver have a chance now and then too (if they’ll let someone else drive their boat!).
