Pour un plaisir durable sûr l'eau

I've used this tube 3-4 times now on river runs, and I love it. It fits 8 people just fine, and the two coolers are a nice feature...because they are recessed though they do tend to get water in them (people moving around on the float brings water into them). Not too much, but if you plan on putting things you want dry in there I'd recommend a "dry bag" the kind you get for kayaking/boating to ensure your stuff will be dry when you are done using the float. I'm always surprised how it inflates in about 20-25 minutes max compared to floats that are bigger and hold the same capacity of people. It's held up great, there are two compartments to inflate an inner circular tube around the mesh circle and an outer one, so you are able to pump both compartments at once bringing inflation time down to about 15 minutes before you're ready to roll. There is also areas to tie rope too to chain additional tubes in case you have a large party. Beware, smoking can cause holes in your tube from the embers/ashes...my last party float died that way after getting a few of them, so if you like your toys you spend money on I recommend telling your friends to hold off on lighting up on your float.

Bought this August 2022 after visiting a buddy's lakehouse his college-age nephew and buddies had one they bought in 2021. Saw them use it throughout the day, refill the coolers, and when my younger kids finally got out there, they loved it. Got feedback from the nephew, who said they don't need to add air for over their 5 days there but to buy a different anchor (which I also did). After our initial unboxing and inflation, I hear air coming out. See a leak at the seam (see photo) Tried to patch but useless with what was supplied as a patch (see photo), so went to hardware store and bought a vinyl patch repair kit. Because we were going to already lose a day due to having it sit overnight, I overpatched to ensure no side leaks. Next day, re-inflate and looks good, get it on the water, anchored and a 2nd hole opens up beside it in under 5 minutes. See photos.

Not comfortable, so I returned it.

I purchased this item to take to Shell Island near Panama City Beach, FL and it greatly exceeded my expectations! It's HUGE, (obviously, it says it's 12-foot) but I never took into consideration how big 12 feet really was. It's made with the thicker plastic so it won't tear easily, which I love in case we take it down the creek. It's a little heavy for me to carry comfortably but my boyfriend can carry it easily. I also bought a Black & Decker ASI500 12-Volt Cordless Air Station Inflator through Amazon to blow it up with at the island, works like a gem. From flat to full, total time was about 15-20 minutes. But, the easiest way to blow it up is by using a gas leaf blower against the quick-release valve, in case you didn't know.
