Got this for our grandkids. It's a very comfortable ride and bounces enough to be really fun for them. We even pulled two large 25-year-olds and had no problems. The only issue is that the rope hits the water and at times causes so much spray that you can't see. Had a bit of a hard time inflating due to the location of the inflation tube. Great construction, and we'll see how it lasts. This is the first season for it.

This product, sank everytime one or two people got into it. The boat didn't even get it to plain before the front of the raft sank, many times throwing even the lightest children over the front. We checked the proper inflation agains other rafts and it was properly inflated, however no matter what we did or who was in it, it was a defective design. We've rafted with many other brands and this one was by far the worst, almost to the point of harm to the children had we gotten going any faster. The speed of the front end sinking was amazing, the kids could have broken their necks. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, and suggest the company investigate the flaw before someone seriously gets hurt.

Comments about RAVE Tirade II Towable:
We used this product the weekend after it arrived and could not have been more pleased. Everyone enjoyed it for four days and never had to add more air. The construction is heavy duty and makes a hit at the lake with the rooster tail spout in the rear. Found the product easy to deflate, clean, dry and store afterwards. Looking forward to using again several more times in August and September before the season ends.

Comments about RAVE Tirade II Towable:
Used this tube for a solid week on vacation with young kids at slower speeds all the way up to teenagers who enjoy the challenge. Great all around tube with a couple simple drawbacks. First, hard to inflate seat cushions after main tube. Advise inflating bottom seat cushions first. Second, the turbo jet works with heavier riders, not with kids. Also, it riped off the tube after several days of hard use. However, the tube was an all around good value. Would recommend for anyone with a variety of riders in mind. Durable construction held up to the toughest of rides with multiple heavy riders.

Comments about RAVE Tirade II Towable:
Great for grandchildren. One was 6 yrs. and the other 15 yrs. They both loved the ride. Water was between flat and rough. Did well. The rooster tail is great. One adult and 15 yr old rode together and fun was had by all. No problems and no complaints. Glad we purchased this model. My 6 yr. old granddaughter had no problem holding on to the handles. Can't use on rough water. Can get thrown out.

Comments about RAVE Tirade II Towable:
We love the rooster tail, primarily because it makes the tube so viewable by other water craft. The tube is both extremely comfortable and stable so even those who have reservations about taking a ride feel safe. I would certainly consider buying this product again.

I like this tube but the outer shell keeps getting unzipped while in use and it's impossible to zip back up while fully inflated.

Comments about RAVE Tirade II Towable:
Bought for grandchildren. It works best at faster speeds to make the tube plane out. We felt that the tube was safe for our two year old granddaughter. [...] I will definitely order from Gander Mountain again.
