Tired of just being pulled by a boat? How about pushing the limit instead?
Control is the buzzword in today's sizzling new sport of performance tubing. Every rider is looking to challenge the limits of the wake and cut their own trail across the water. Stearns Inc., a leading developer of water safety and outdoor life products, introduces Wake Slider™, a one person inflatable towable designed for maximum rider control and offered under the company’s Sevylor® brand line.
“If you are looking to create your own ride, this tube is for you," says Mary Snyder, Stearns marketing manager. "The boat may be the power source, but the rider is definitely behind the wheel."
The Sevylor® Patent Pending rail design gives Wake Slider™ a definite edge over other towables. Riders can control the tube's position behind the boat with ease, moving in and out of the wake at will. In addition, tricks such as barrel rolls have never been easier to pull off. Wake Slider™ comes with a range of benefits, including side wings for additional support and control. More importantly, comfort isn't compromised. Padded handles with knuckle guards protect hands through any maneuver, while a unique anti-abrasion pad provides extra comfort through those wild rides. Wake Slider™ also features a jumbo push-in valve for fast and easy inflation and deflation. Wake Slider™ is designed for one rider, with dimensions of 50" X 30" and a product weight of eight pounds.
