I am looking for a 2-3 person tube. The one we have is too small for 2 adults. I would prefer to have one that we can sit up on.

For a mild ride in the sitting position, try the HO Sports Formula 2.

It has been a staple on our boat for 4-5 years. It accommodates children to adults. Not as wild as a 2 person disc in the prone position, but a good ride for sitting. The floor is inflated.

They make a F3 now, but it is huge. Costco was selling them super inexpensive at the beginning of the season complete with tow rope.

The other consideration would be one of those Mable sleds that you can tow different ways. Never tried them, but they look fun.

Kids and adults have enjoyed the bandwagon 1+1 (two people) we got this year. There are a number of ways to use it but we usually have one person sit in the front and then one kneels in the back. Riders have pretty good control over steering and you can make it as tame or exciting as the riders want. They also make a 2 + 2 (four people) but it is very large.

I got ours from ebay for $215 shipped.

+1 for the Mables. they come in 1,2,3 or 4 person varieties. This is the ONLY tube I have every replaced with another one after wearing it out. The 4 person variety is HUGH and heavy!!!

I have a Airhead Viper 2 person towable. They come up to 4 person size. We have towed 4 small kids in the 2 place tube. Plenty of room for the little ones. My wife and I had our daughter tow us in it. Plenty of room for us while we contemplated our demise at the hands of our daughter. Shocked

The tube is very stable for those that want a mild ride, but with not much effort it can be evil (but can't they all)!! Twisted Evil

We have a lot of fun with a super (3 place) mable. Towing backwards only worked the first day, and then the 'ol big block tore off the tow strap from the back. But, for normal tubing, it rocks.

What is it with this huge tubes..... Laughing

We have tried many versions of tubes over the years and yeah when the kids were younger, they liked the bigger ones, but now we like the cheap little tubes because it just becomes a game as to who can stay on the longest Twisted Evil

and we pull two at a time Shocked

. We tend to like the triangular tubes best.
