* yes, it tends to submarine when you first take off but if you stay towards the back of the tube, you'll be fine. I've had children and adults on this tube....they all had a blast!

A lousy design for a submerine

By ablediver

Pros:

Attractive Design, Easy To Inflate, Good Handles, Quality Construction

Cons:

Uncomfortable Ride

Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Airhead Airhead G-Force:

The tow point is located too high on the tube, if a child(ren) are riding, the weight forward causes it to dive upon starting the tow. Same thing with many adults. Scares the pants off the riders and puts very heavy presure on the transom. But if you can get it on top of the water, it is a great high speed ride. I find it a shame that G-force did not design this better.

Comments about Airhead Airhead G-Force:

We have 2 boats and several types of tubes. Got this tube for my husband. He is a big guy, and didn't get him the tube to tow him, got him the tube so he could float on the lake while we played in the water. The kids only want this tube inflated now, and we can't get them off of it, even when we are anchored and plan on swimming!! They enjoy jumping off of it, and hanging around it....So much for grandpa getting any relaxation, but this tube is well worth the money, and our older teenagers absolutely love it too! We can ride mulitple riders or one, inflates easy, well constructed, very attractive design.... it will nose dive on lighter weight people if you do not PULL back when taking off, but once you take off, that isn't a problem! IF my 7,9,and 10 year old grandkids that are small for their age can manage to take off behind a speedboat, I am sure you can manage too. Hubby is very large guy, and we have pulled him and he is very thrilled with this tube. All our friends want one.

Comments about Airhead Airhead G-Force:

My two girls love riding this the only set back is that when you slow down to stop or when you first start it tends to go nose down and they sink, but they have learned to stay far back until we hit a good speed and to drop back when we stop. Other than that they love it we can get 4 8 and 9 yr olds on it at once.

Excellent!

Comments about Airhead Airhead G-Force:

This tube is well constructed and seems like it will last a long time. It easily held 3 teenagers who gave it a thumbs up compared to other tubes they had ridden on. This tube is large so depending on the size of your boat, it may limit the number of passengers or other apparatus for watersports unless you are towing the tube. We are very happy with this tube and glad we bought it.

Excellent choice for a 1-3 person tube!

Comments about Airhead Airhead G-Force:

A friend and I both bought this tube for the summer and we both really enjoy it. It is a blast to ride! The only drawback is it will submarine slightly when you first take off but that is solved by the riders leaning back just a little.

I would buy this product again!

Comments about Airhead Airhead G-Force:

We purchased this product for a family vacation and loved it! The only down fall is if you are too light the front tends to go under water. But we more than adjusted for that and had a blast!

Another Submarine Story

Aggressive Rider

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Airhead Airhead G-Force:

[...] We bought this to use with our two kids (ages 9 & 5). There's is absolutely no way that the two of them can start off on their own without an adult with them. You need to put as much weight on the rear of the tube in order to keep it from submarining. Tried and tried to make it work with just my 9 year old Son, until he got frustrated with it and gave up. It's unfortunate, because it made him nervous after being pulled under water time and time again. If I got on it with him and pulled the front end up out of the water, it was fine. I had a blast with him after we were up, but need to have something the kids can use without an adult to use a ballast. Would not recommend unless you have ample people, or you're all adults. F-

Submarine!! Beware, Too Low Profile!!!

By chemman

from athens, tn on 9/11/2007

Pros:

Durable

Cons:

Catches wake when crossin, Difficult to Use, Submarines, Too Low Profile

Best Uses:

Flat Water

Describe Yourself:

Recreational Rider

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Airhead Airhead G-Force:

This tube only works with a high tie off on boat, Boom required! Too low profile causes rope to catch wake when crossing and throws riders, gives rope burns, etc. Tube submarines when starting out and stopping. Riders must lift front of tube!! Causes undue stress on bot tie, rope, tube, etc.

Bottom Line:

Comments about Airhead Airhead G-Force:

We ordered this tube for my nephews recent visit and they had a blast. It is able to pull 510 lbs which means anyone can ride. It is a very fun ride or a very stable ride. Worth the money.

It is quite large when inflated so I think I will order an inflator to keep on the boat. I deflated it and we were able to ski/wakeboard.

This tube was awesome until it poped. It poped because the innertube itself was weak. I think I had a bad tube.
