Tow Tubes, Ski Tubes & Towables for Boat & Jet Ski

Rider being towed on a red Jetpilot ski tube behind a jet ski in shallow blue water.

Tow tubes, ski biscuits, towables, whatever your crew calls them.

Pick it by your crew, match the rope, hold on.

You Have Questions? We Have Answers!

Can a jet ski pull a tube?

Yes, and it does it with more snap than most boats. Every Jetpilot tube runs a reinforced tow system and a quick-connect hook, so it clips on in seconds. In NSW and Queensland the ski carries a driver and an observer, the driver holds a PWC licence, and everyone being towed wears an Australian Standard approved life jacket. Read the towing rules before the first run.

What is the best tow tube for a jet ski?

Something a ski can whip. The one-person Whip, or a two-person like the Skimmer, Slingshot or Wizzy Dizzy: lighter tubes plane up quick behind a sled and react the instant you carve. The three and four-person rigs are happiest behind a boat, where a full crew and a long afternoon of laps is the whole point.

What are the best ski tubes for families?

A three or four-person Wing. The built-in angled side wings add stability, the full nylon cover has a zipper, and pull-up straps get the grommets back on without a shoulder from the deckie. The Freeride 4 adds arm and back rests for the riders who want to sit in it rather than skim on it.

What is a ski biscuit?

The Aussie name for a round tow tube. Ski biscuit, ski tube, donut, boat tube, towable: same thing, different ramp. It is an inflatable you tow behind a boat or a jet ski, on a rope rated for the number of riders.

What types of towable tubes are there?

Four shapes on this page. Flat deck tubes like the Whip and Skimmer, where you lie down and hang on. Winged tubes like the Wing and the rocket-shaped Blast Off, with side wings for stability. Cockpit-style tubes like the Freeride 4, with arm and back rests. And the Wizzy Dizzy, which spins.

What tow rope do I need for a tube?

A tube rope rated for the rider count, never a wake rope. The 1-4 Person Tube Rope is 60 ft of two-strand PE with an 1882 kg breaking strain, and the Towable Bungee Cord, rated 1882 kg for 1 to 4 person towables, takes the snatch out of the pull when the tube whips. Wake and surf ropes are for riders behind the boat, not tubes.

What are the rules for towing a tube in Australia?

In NSW and Queensland: a driver plus an observer on board at all times, everyone being towed in an Australian Standard approved life jacket, the tube at least 7 metres behind the vessel, and set distances off swimmers, dive flags and other craft. NSW caps it at three people towed at once and towing stops at sunset. Other states set their own rules, so check yours.

The full rundown on Tow Tubes, Ski Tubes & Towables for Boat & Jet Ski

Tow tubes for the crew that hangs on

A tow tube is the cheapest fun a boat or a ski will ever pull. Every tube on this page runs a heavy-duty PVC bladder inside a nylon cover, foam handles with padded knuckle guards, a reinforced tow system and a quick-connect hook, so rider swaps take seconds and the tube cops the abuse instead of your crew. Most add a POV camera mount, because nobody believes the story without the footage. Nobody remembers the cruise. They remember the whip.

Pick the tube by your crew

One rider — the Whip. 420D nylon over a PVC bladder, a self-bailing drain vent, a repair kit in the box, and a shape that whips wide the second the driver turns. Not a cruise.
Two riders — Skimmer, Slingshot, Wing, Blast Off and the Wizzy Dizzy, which spins. Side by side, racing the wake, arguing about who let go first. See 2 person tow tubes.
Three riders — Skimmer, Wing, Freeride and Blast Off. The family favourite: room to rotate the grommets through, a more stable ride, high-vis colours on the Skimmer 3, and pull-up straps to get back on. See 3 person tow tubes.
Four riders — Wing, Freeride and Blast Off. The whole crew on one tube, fewer laps for the deckie, and the Freeride 4 adds arm and back rests for the ones who want to sit in it.

Behind the boat or behind the ski

Behind a boat, the big winged tubes sit flat and stable and the driver can run laps all arvo. Behind a ski, everything happens faster: the Whip and the two-person tubes plane up quick and react the instant you carve, which is the whole point of tubing off a sled. Either way, a tube rated for four riders is a promise the rope has to keep. Run the 1-4 Person Tube Rope, 60 ft with an 1882 kg breaking strain, and put the Towable Bungee Cord between rope and tube to take the snatch out of every whip. Wake and surf ropes are for riders, not tubes. Add the Hand Held Ski Tube Pump for beach launches and mid-arvo top-ups. It is all on tow ropes and tie downs.

The rules, straight

Everyone on the tube wears an Australian Standard AS 4758 approved life jacket. Level 50S is the tow-sports vest and the minimum. Level 50 is the same float in a high-vis colourway, for the water where your state calls for it. Kids wear a kids life jacket that actually fits, buckled on dry land, not an adult vest cinched down. In NSW and Queensland the towing vessel carries a driver and an observer at all times, the tube rides at least 7 metres behind, and you keep your distance from swimmers, dive flags and other craft. NSW caps you at three people towed at once, and towing stops at sunset. Read the NSW and Queensland tubing and towing rules and the Australian life jacket regulations guide before the season's first run, then check your own state.

The tube is rated for four. The rope, the observer and the vest are what let you use all four.
