Speaking of the 70's, before commercial ski tubes were really out, did anyone take a big black inner tube, tie the ski rope to it, and have the boat pull you? Bit of an adventure and preying that fill nozzle did not poke you.

That was the only way to do it.
A passenger tire tube = 1 tuber
A truck tire tube = 2 or more tubers.
Yes to the tube air nozzle being able to take out a pound of flesh.
This tubing gave new life to the tube that already had two or three punctures from road hazard punctures.
Ah, the memories... and the smell of rubber when it got wet...
