Barf ball and hurler tube

hancoveguy · 02-04-2011, 01:15 AM

hello all, does anyone know the difference between the O'Brien Barf ball and the newer barf ball with Hurler Tube...Both appear to be one person towable spheres that are 78" dia.

I want to buy one at the boat show but dont know the difference.

I believe with the newer barf ball, you are guaranteed to throw up twice as fast!

No personal experience, but here is the information for comparison.

BARFBALL

Description:

78" Diameter
1 Rider
24 GAUGE PVC
28GK80 Clear PVC Main Ball
K70/28G Safety Chambers
3 PVC Welded Handles Inside Shell
1 Quick Connect Tow Hook
One Year Limited Warranty

A recent on water comparison of new tubes pro claimed the Barf Ball to be "Probably the most creative tube we've ever seen" and "You just have to see this one to believe it. The star of the show." The Barf Ball is incredibly fun to ride, the soft sphere makes the ride very smooth if you want it, but with the round shape and your ability to shift your body around inside the tube, you can be spinning in no time!

HURLER

Description:
60"
1 Rider
K80/28 Gauge PVC
3 Handles
1 Quick Connect Tow Hook
1 Boston Valve
One Year Limited Warranty

An insane and compact version of the Barf Ball!

Don't barf in my lake!

Do you think the Barfball is safer than tubing?

I'd never heard of those things before now...

But they sound like great cat names, don't they???

I wonder how long it will be before someone invents the "Hair Ball" aquatic fun device.

Will that be for a kitty cat? It would be great--since kitty cats LOVE the water so so much.They would just purr along like the engine of the boat.
