Best water sport towables according to redditors

That's an AquaSkipper. You can buy one here. I'd assume you are requesting someone make it invisible, but just thought I'd chime in with what its called.

The Aquaskipper.

I've been thinking about this a little bit. It's been getting easier to understand both sides because I'm 35. Grew up with computers and the dawn of the internet, but getting older and closer to the age where not giving a shit starts to happen.

So, this past 4th of July (U.S. Independence Day), I went to visit my dad who has a house on the lake. I took my husband and 2 young boys. My dad took my oldest out fishing and then we all took turns on the Mable while my dad drove his boat.

After we were done for the day, he asked my brother to help him hook up his new computer to his old printer. My brother ended up not doing it because he was grilling burgers for dinner, so my husband volunteered and got it done.

I think this dynamic works perfectly. My dad knows how to drive a boat, teach fishing to my son, and can provide access to a lakehouse that I would not have access to otherwise.

In return, my husband can spend 5-10 minutes hooking up his printer.

Sure, my dad could google it. He could spend a little more time learning the ins and outs of hooking it up. But he just spent all day with us out on the lake. He let us go around in his boat. He was sharing his passions with us.

And I can understand that after a day of being out on the water, you just don't feel like figuring all that computer shit out. To you and me, it's as simple as googling the printer software. To my 60 year old dad, it's "well, where the hell do I start?"

Now, as I'm getting older, I'm finding I just don't have the energy of figuring out all that stuff anymore. I have other shit to do too. Cook, clean, pay bills. Man, it sure would be nice if someone else could figure out why the heck my computer is freaking out over there.

When I was in high school and college, I sure felt smart when my parents would ask me to do computer stuff. I was glad to do it to show off my "intelligence." As you get older, you start finding that you don't feel that way anymore. You're more interested in delegating your problems than figuring them all out.

Anyway. Of course, it depends on the computer problem. It's worth learning if it's something you run into everyday. But if it's something you only do once in a while (like connecting your printer), I don't think it's such a big deal to delegate it to someone else.

I have a similar issue but with an out board. Got this recently to see how it helps get the tow line up of the water.

SPORTSSTUFF Towable Booster Tube https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001Q98TNY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_vKNhDbN91AN24

Haven't had a chance to try it yet but I'm optimistic.

Are kite tubes still a thing? We had a the first generation of them and seemed to beat ourselves up pretty well.

Don't get the Molecule, it is a pretty boring towable. I typically stick to the flat tubes like this.

Here. From what I understand they are not as good as a actual trampoline but, come on, its still pretty cool.

We used to have this tube (probably 15 years ago now). It was a big funnel shaped tube where the smaller end would face the boat and you could climb inside or stand up on the back. There were handles inside. If you got caught in the wake while the boat was circling it would spin the tube around like some crazy death machine. A short Google search I couldn't find anything. But it was an awesome tube.
