AIRHEADG-Force Inflatable Towable Tube | 2-4 Rider Models | Dual Tow Points | Full Nylon Cover | Kwik-Connect | Patented Speed Valve | Boat Tubes and Towables

Update 9 June 2014:It's season 3 for this tube and it's been working great. I raised my rating to 5 stars as we've had no problems once we figured out how to position to avoid submarining and we've had a ton of fun. I would buy this tube again.UPDATE 6 August, 2012:Have used this tube several more days for multiple hours each time. All my previous comments still apply. We're having a blast with this tube.Original Review:I bought this tube last week and used it last weekend. So, disclaimer... I've only used it a couple of days on a lake.I would give this tube 5 stars if it didn't submarine a few times.Yes, I found that this tube would occasionally submarine if the people on it were not positioned well. But, with just a few such incidents, we used this tube for hours over two days and had great success. We had kids as small as 75 lbs up to 150 lbs. and it worked well 95% of our runs.I find the exterior skin to be a good quality, thick nylon, and the inner bladder appears to be a good quality, thick, rubberized plastic.Sizing is a lot like rafts. That is, they say it holds 3 persons, but that's true only if they're small or medium sized. For me, three kids worked as did two larger kids (teenagers roughly equivalent to adults). You'd have a tough time using this tube with three adults. If you want to haul a large number of and/or larger people, look at bigger tubes. This one is, from what I've seen, a medium-sized tube.Side note: Amazon suggested various tow ropes to purchase with my tube. I did buy the Kwik Tek Airhead 4 Rider Tube Rope (Kwik Tek Airhead 4 Rider Tube Rope). Amazon also suggested I buy some additional connection components. I did not need these. My boat has a quick connect hook and this tube has a quick connect. The rope is looped at both ends and connected to the boat and tube directly. No need for additional connecting components.Conclusion: After one use I am pleased. I would recommend this tube to others. I would buy it again. I will be using this tube several times more this summer, so if you see no update to this review, then I'm still happy and my conclusions are still valid.

The grandkids loved it!!

Good product

I weighed this against the 3 rider version and decided, along with the kids' input to go with the larger 4 person one. I was not disappointed as the kids, including my 6'2 270lb 16 year old, had a great time. It allowed for several to ride at one time, and still had enough bounce on wakes to create some fun, and very photograpic, moments. I'd definitely recommend this and/or the 3 person version. These are well built tubes that should last a long time. The only downside it that it is large, but that is what you're buying.

Tube works great but I found it at big 5 for $199.84 thought I would find best price here online

Purchased Airhead G-Force 4 in late April. Used less than 10 times and already has small pin hole in the crease on the top side, back of the float where the riders legs lie. I would expect this float at this price to last much longer. I rarely pull 3 riders; usually it’s 2 riders under 250lbs total. Tried using on the river this 4th of July weekend and it was deflating so much I was having to hand pump between every ride. For this price I would have expected at least 1 full summer of use.

We bought this exact tube (earlier version) in 2011, and we are just now looking to replace it 13 years later as the handles are finally starting to rip. I have 5 kids that love to tube and we have absolutely put this tube through the wringer and it has held up. I’ll be buying this same tube again.

The quality of this tube is wonderful! It is a thick material. Used all summer! Can’t wait till next summer!
