H&L Tackle's Summer Special..Wego Kite Tube!!!

This towable is incredible. It is the Wego Kite Tube from Sportsstuff. For all of you who enjoy wakeboarding, tubing, etc. it is a mix of tubing and parasailing. My buddies and I have been using one for afew trips so far...trust me when I say to heed the slogan printed on the tube: "Don't kite higher than you are willing to fall." Check out the video...make sure to watch the last 5 seconds!!! If anyone is interested, I have them available for $409.99.

Re: H&L Tackle's Summer Special..Wego Kite Tube!!!

Damn if I owned my own boat I would SOOO buy one. Reminds me of cliff jumpin a few years back. Other than cliff dive=controlled --- tube...uncontrolled fall 40 + ft belly flop damn that would hurt. I wonder if I could hook one up to my jet ski (05 GTX limited Supercharged 219hp) figure it has the power just wonder if the kite aspect would start to lift a ski's back end ?

Re: H&L Tackle's Summer Special..Wego Kite Tube!!!

Have you ever ran aground on your GTX? If so you would know that there is no way in hell that tube in going to lift the ski's back end. I have an RXP (very similar ski) and the thing is almost heavier than my flats boat. All of the new technology in supercharged 4 strokes is great, but they are just so heavy. The damn thing draws almost a foot of water when you are sitting there, obviously it runs in less. I would feel extremely confident towing that tube behind my ski, I pull 2 tubes at the same time with a total of 6 riders no problem.

Wego Kite tube has been recalled by the manufacturer due to injuries. I can attest we have had a ruptured ear drum and concussion on the tube, but enough fun to justify the injuries

Stay tuned for the next summer special: Edge Preformance Chips!
