              We will use them on our personal watercraft when they are staked in the water to make boaters aware of them. They are small and don't take up a lot of space to carry to the lake.

                Comments about Gladiator Inflatable Slalom Buoys, 9" dia.:

                When we have a beach camp, we position the bow out into the water and attach the buoy to the anchor rope off the bow. This makes for a quick recovery and reattachment of the anchor when we return from a ski run.

                      you can use an air compressor with an adaptor or a bicycle type pump. Don't think you could do it by mouth.
