Introducting the World''s first towable that you wear!
Don''t wrestle around with a wussie towable: Get in, grab on and get ready for a fast and furious ride in the Sumo Tube by SportsStuff. The Sumo Tube is a fun, yet challenging freestyle towable that is unlike other towables - it''s wearable and it''s not connected to the boat. Instead, the rider holds onto a 60-foot rope, providing the rider with freedom and capability to jump wakes, perform 360 degree rolls or simply skid along the water''s surface. By switching grips and moving your arms, you can steer the tube back and forth and initiate 360''s! Then take your Sumo tube to the surf and catch a wave and bodyboard Sumo Style. Grab some friends and two Sumo Tubes and even hold Sumo Wrestling match!

Comments about SportsStuff Sumo Towable Tube:

This towable is great for us lighter riders. It does tend to dive at take off but leaning back or laying near the rear helps plane it out faster. It needs more head room to lean your head up so you dont feel like your drowning. A quick fix to that is swimming goggles to protect eyes from rope splash and well timed breathing. Also riders can basically stay completely inside the sumo This product is very rigorous but fun!

Comments about SportsStuff Sumo Towable Tube:

Very difficult to use, tends to dive under water making making it near impossible to hold on. Feels like your going to drown, good idea but needs more research.
