Long Weekend

Welcome to the blog,
I so pumped for the weekend three days of water sports fun. Will be riding our favorite tubes and boards, can't wait to fire up Nobby 231 and feel that big V8 rumble, get some fast tunes playing and go hard. we will be putting the doable LULU through its paces and setting up some sort of scoring system. Big Mable is the stalwart of the tubing range its been around for years, and produced so much fun for a lot of families. Of course its been copied by a few different manufactures but the sportsstuff  brand is the original.
 There is also many different styles now , not just the hang on and prey. We want to see tubing become one of the activities that is a preferred water sport not just something that any one can do, and the doable range will certainly do that, so get out there and participate. We have got all that you need, accessories too.

Our Moto rider heads out to the first round of the State titles this weekend so we wish him well, had some great practice days with all the rain and itching to go! Thank you catch you later. Ride.
