Inflatable Towables
, 01 09th, 2009Water skiing is fun for those who can balance on skis and ride them atop a lake. Lake towables make it possible for anyone to glide on the lake behind a ski boat. These special inflatable toys can bring excitement to any morning or afternoon on the lake.
One type of lake towables allows riders to control the shape of the inflatable by pulling on hand grips. With the Frantic and other Half Pipe boat towables, it is easy to pull up the sides of the flat towable into a shape that looks like a hot dog bun. The Frantic will rock and slide through the water, controlled by the people holding the grips.Groups need not take turns on individual lake towables, either. Ski boats can haul inflatables that will carry 2, 3, or even up to 6 riders at one time. The key to getting the best group lake towables is durability. A heavy gauge PVC bladder is a must, as well as a reinforced towing system.
Summer Pool Safety
, 11 13th, 2008
Children love playing, swimming, and wading in the water, but can also be at risk if a few safety rules not observed. Whenever playing in the water or out in the sun, children should wear sunscreen; this not only prevents painful burns, but also serious rashes and skin cancer. Whenever children are in or near water, they should be supervised. Several hundred children drown each year because of unsupervised water activities. Inflatable toys are a fun way for kids to enjoy the water, but also ensure that small children wear water wings and that all children wear life jackets when on a boat.
These simple rules will ensure that water activities are fun for both adults and children, and that there is no risk of harm or injury.

There isn’t much that is more peaceful than floating on a serene lake, but floating on a lake doesn’t have to be just relaxing—it can also be a lot of fun!
Inflatable accessories from Marine Accessories Plus range from simple lounging chairs to a play station that is basically a floating trampoline. Many of these fun floats can are versatile enough to be used for more than one purpose—for instance, some of the lounging chair styles can be flipped over and used as a belly board. Many have cup holders so you can drift along with your favorite chilled beverage. For the more adventurous, there is even an inflatable kayak.
