The construction is real good, and it handles great when pulled in the 'seated' direction. The instruction leaflet needs work in the area of how/where to inflate though. It's simple once you locate the 2 inflation points.....good instructions would have been nice.
I've pulled it with my jet ski only so far. When pulling from the 'seated' version, it works great. I tried to pull from the other connection point (opposite side connecton for kneeling).....it wouldn't work. The lower front tries to dive versus lift. I checked the connection instructions.... I had it correct. Not sure what the problem is....perhaps the angle of the rope from a jet ski?? I'll try behind a boat.

We bought it for our 5 kids, 2-17. We used it on flat water and it was great fun! After the day of use I saw that the cover stitching was coming apart and one of the neoprene pads was ripped. I'm sending the cover back.

Comments about Gladiator 3-Rider Super Brawler Towable:
This tube has been a lot of fun so far. It deflates to a pretty small size which makes it easy to transport. The main bladder has really easy access so inflating that is easy and painless. The backrest valve is a little awkward to get to. I wish that it was on the back of the backrest instead of the front. It is difficult to get a handpump connected to top off the air pressure.
It is kind of fun to be able to pull the tube from either end (front and back) but pulling it from the back is much less stabile than the front. Pulling it from the back is definitely for more scenic rides.
We have done pretty crazy pulling, jumping and whipping around while towing from the front and the bladder has held up really well; no holes yet.
I wish the valves where Boston ones instead because these pop out valves are just a little more difficult to work with but not a significant con for this tube. Also, the front tow strap has a quick connect but the rear tow strap has nothing but the nylon strap; so I had to add a connector myself.
Overall this tube is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted big, stabile (my small kids feel good on it), good bladder (my last tube burst a seam everytime I took it out) and easy to transport. I'm very much looking foward to more outings on this tube; I would recommend it to my friends.

Comments about Gladiator 3-Rider Super Brawler Towable:
We've only had our new Gladiator for a little over a month but have put countless hours on it. It's holding up very well and is a great tube. We tow a range of people (ages 6 to 60) up at the lake and were looking for a tube that could please all. The Gladiator is it! For adults the ride is very comfortable and well cushioned on the bumps. For kids that like it a bit more wild just turn the tube around and let them have fun. The tube is designed for 3 riders but you can easily stagger the handles and fit 4 kids. The tube looks likes it's built to last and we are very happy with our choice!

Comments about Gladiator 3-Rider Super Brawler Towable:
Over the years we have purchased multiple tubes and by far this is the best one ever. Extremely stable, comfortable and a lot of fun. The only reason we have to stop is to caught our breath from laughing so hard. Our kids loved it even the beginner riders felt safe and secure. This tube gets lots of air and everyone loved it. Best tube ever.

I have the problem of the front dipping down in the water and covering the kids with water as I start to tow the device and the kids become frightened...what am I doing wrongAsked on 6/11/2011 by charlene from Lake of the ozarks2 answers
A:
We have the 4 person gladiator and if my kids sit with their back against the back of the float and lean back as we take off we dont have a problem with the front dipping down in the water.Answered on 6/28/2012 by chrisbutton from johnson city, tnA:
It sounds like the kids are sitting to far to the front of the tube. If they will sit to the back of the tube you shouldnt have that problem any more.Answered on 7/24/2012 by Otis from Greers Ferry, Arkansas
