Question

Tubing ... I just got a new tube. The front of the tube dips into the water when pulled by boat ... help?

Answer 1

Well you need to lay or lean way back or hang back towards the back of the tube so the front of it can rise up!

Answer 2

lay on tubes tend to submarine with too much weight on the front. sit in types don't really have that problem. as everyone else has said, put weight back til the tube is on plane.

Answer 3

Lean back until fast enough.

Answer 4

You need to lean back until you gain speed, then you can start tubing.

Answer 5

It isn't the tube that is the problem. That happens to all tubes when their rider leans too far forward. Try leaning back or going at higher speeds to reduce the possibility. Good luck.
