Spotters question

Sal · 06-05-2015, 03:41 PM

If one is towing a "tube" which has the capacity for 3, does one need
3 spotters? In the back (far back) of my brain, I seem to recall
that only 2 spotters are required for multiple people on a towable.

To push the question to the extreme, if one is towing a "banana" with 7 people on it, how many spotters are required by law?

No . . . I don't have a "banana" but I AM thinking of getting a 3 kid "tube".

Up to 6 may be towed, 1 tube or multiple tubes, 1 spotter needed for 1 or 2 tubers, 2 spotters needed for 3 or more tubers

Thanks. I guess I'm buying the 3-kid towable . . .

A pair of 1 or 2 person tubes on ropes that are carefully checked to ensure they are the same length are vastly more fun than one big tube. Wish I'd skipped the big 3 person tube... Everyone LOVES the basic, round, flat Super Screamer tubes we have.
