Riding the ride

Welcome to the Blog,
Mad March it is... Some strange happenings on the weekend. Great fun for three days hitting the wake. The time has come to start our rating process.
We will rate the tubes in five (5) categories with three (3)classes.
Novice or Beginner Tube Riders, Expert and Experienced Tube Riders and Extreme Tube Riders
Novice or Beginner Class 1

  1. Safety:  This is based on how the tube would comfort the tube rider. 1 is low 5 is high comfort.
  2. Thrill factor: This will be how far the tube can be pushed until it is too scary to continue. 1is low 5 is high
  3. Tow ability: This is based on the feel of the tube and the load on the boat. 1 is low load good feel 5 is high load bad feel
  4. Quality and style: 1 is good and 5 is exceptional.
  5. Uniqueness: 1 is very good 5 is a newer type of tubing experience.
Expert and Experienced Class 2

  1. Excitement factor: how the tube feels to sit in or on, the thought of what is to come. 1 is high 5 is off the scale
  2. Thrill factor: This will be how far the tube can be pushed until it is too scary to continue. 1is low 5 is high 
  3. Tow ability: This is based on the feel of the tube and the load on the boat, speeds and loads will increase dramatically. 1 is  good feel 5 is  bad feel

  3. Air Time: 1 plenty of air time 5 you are in the air over 50% of the time
  4. Grip positions and feel: 1 good 5 totally secure
  5. Riders input: 1 means you have little input to where the tube goes 5 means you can maneuver the tube to where you want it and have some sort of control

We will start with Big Mable . and the Novice or Beginner Class 1

  1. 5
  2. 5
  3. 5
  4. 5
  5. 1
Well that scored pretty good all round for the Novice, it has been around for a long time so its no wonder it scored 1 for uniqueness. This is based on the opinions of a couple of 5 year old and their mums! Well done.
That's it for this blog catch us next week to see how the experienced riders rate Big Mable. Remember " we don't just sell em we ride em"
