Highlighted Features
Two Way Towing
What’s better than a tube? A tube that you can rotate 180º and tow from the opposite side; giving the riders a completely different riding experience. With a Quick Connect attachment on both the front and the rear of the tube, it’s super easy to change tow points and enjoy your tube in a completely different way. It’s almost as if you have two tubes in one.
Lightning Valve
Our Lightning Valve is attached to the towable, so there are no parts to keep up with or lose. The wider opening inflates and deflates 57% faster than our previous valves. An interior flap prevents air from escaping, even if the cap is not in place. Inside diameter of the valve measures 30mm and there are air pump nozzle adapters available for seamless integration with most existing pumps.
Quick Connect Tow System
Hooking a towrope to a tube has never been so easy. No need for tying knots that you'll never get out. Just slide the loop at the end of the towrope up through the hole on the Quick Connect Tow System and then bring the loop over the two prongs at the end of the connector. Pull tight to cinch the towrope down on the Quick Connect Tow System and you are all set to go. It's that easy!

Only used this tube 3 times and it got a hole in the seem of the inflatable seem on the top side. No hole is in the putter Materials. Working now to figure out if they will warranty it and will update once I know.

I've had lot's of O'Brien tubes over the years and this one is the worst construction as far as the backrest and arm bladder. It gets a leak in one of the seams every other time we use it. Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this problem or if I just got a lemon. It rides nice when it holds air.

It’s tough to find a good towable tube anymore but this one is super high-quality and large

This is the 4th towable tube we’ve purchased over the years and spend most weekends on the lake for over 10 plus years. Purchased this tube the beginning of summer and have been extremely disappointed. The valve system is awful to fill and deflate. Does not deflate unless you keep your finger in the valve to allow air out. The inner tube has gotten so out of place that it’s impossible to inflate. There is no back access to the inner tube to correct this issue. Overall, super disappointed in the money spent on this tube.

After one use on the river with 3 small kids riding, the canvas on the bottom got a tear in it. We never hit or rubbed up against anything. Very disappointing.

Not sure if we ended up with a defective one or if this is a quality issue but we've used various tubes over the years which lasted for 3-5 summers with tons of use. This one broke on first use. Was too late reporting it so $600 gone.

Was excited to get a tube with the divider’s in the middle to help prevent kids from hitting each other while tubing. We ordered it early to have for our family holiday. We used this tube once and it ripped on the back rest so it’s not even usable to sit on anymore. Very disappointed in the quality of this product. Ordered it early so of course it’s passed the return policy.
