Brian, From the sound of your posts I have no doubt in that so I hope this is all just a conversation and nothing more for anyone here. |

Brian, we are way past chopping up the waterways now. I've enjoyed this thread, even if it is about tubing. We don't have lakefront property, so inflating/deflating and storing tubes has been a hassle in the past. To me, it's just not worth it anymore. Tim: We teach kids and newbs to ski all the time. I don't always take and/or share the video/pics of it because it is rather meaningless to strangers. I've posted pics on this site of kids first time skiing on the boom in the past. We also had more "firsts" at Shelbyville this year. |

Alan, my last statement was not sarcastic. What right does HW have to dictate how others enjoy the time spent on his boat? 
HW, I know you do. Same deal here. |

Wow! I can't believe this post has grown this much in the past 24hrs.
I am not a big fan of the tube either, but I have one. I pull my 4-yr old in it at the end of the day after he has already been out on the kneeboard and ski'd on the boom. At two, he was too small to kneeboard or ski, so we put him on the tube so he wouldn't get bored watching everyone else ski while he had to sit in the boat. You have to find something to keep them interested until they are ready to try different things, otherwise they are ready to go home just after you get to the water. And I hate inflating and deflating that tube whenever someone wants to use it, but it's no fun to go boating by myself. |

Tubing is like watching a movie you have seen one hundred times. You watch the movie because you like, you know how it ends but you watch anyway. Tubing is the same requires no skill to ride around on it, unless the driver makes you work at staying. You know how it ends someone falls off. It passes the time. I didn't see anyone trying to make tubing a new event at a ski show.
Everyone that goes to lake with me enjoys skiing, but they also like to tube sometimes. So everyone that wants to ski, skiis as many times as they want to. Then we hang out drink some, then ride tubes if we feel like it. Then we go back to the dock let the water calm down in the cove and try some more skiing and footing at the very end. No harm no foul and everyone comes back next week. |

I enjoy pulling a couple of tubes before an evening set.

My in-laws will not come to the lake for a boat ride let alone a ski or tube ride.

BKH, don't get me wrong I am greatful that my in-laws wont come to the lake. I just get tired if them complaining we never ask them to go. When we ask they always say they are busy and complain again that we never go when they can go.
