To correct the other review, this is NOT the Sumo Tube. This Gyro Tube is actually quite fun to use *IF* you can get it spinning. It takes some practice to be the driver, but once it's on the outside of the wake, cut the turn harder and accelerate. Keep in mind the faster you go, the faster it spins, the harder the rider will hit the water if they cannot hold on. It will dribble your head like a basketball. Watch where your head is with respect to your hands; you *will* punch yourself. The spin is controlled by the driver, who should have enough sense to slow down or pull out of a turn to allow the rider to regain their composure. A waverunner/jetski is easier to use than a boat (so I've noticed) due to its increased maneuverability. I would personally not recommend this to be used by children under 14. All in all, it can be fun with the right combination of riders and drivers.

I bought this Sumo Tube hoping for my kids to use it and have fun. They couldn't get it to glide. Every time I picked up a little speed, their head would go down and I would have to stop. I do not recommend this to anyone. It is the worst water sport toy we have ever purchased.
