Wow Sports Towable Tubes

Towing a tube behind a boat looks simple, but the best rides come from careful design: how riders sit, how the tube tracks outside the wake, and how well it holds up after a season of whips and turns. Wow Sports has built its reputation on that kind of engineering. This page covers the brand's lineup of towable tubes, from compact two-rider cockpits to three-rider deck and banana-style models.

A Towable Heritage

WOW, short for World of Watersports, was founded in 2010 by Leroy Peterson, who had been working in the towable industry since 1980, when only one basic, uncovered, single-rider PVC tube existed. That long view shows in the tubes. Many designs focus on solving real problems with older formats, such as tipping in turns or difficulty boarding from the water.

Popular Towable Tube Styles

• Deck tubes: Models such as the Max are built for one to three riders and are rated to 510 lbs, with a tow point designed for quick connection. A deck-style tube can also double as a floating platform at the swim spot.
• Cockpit tubes: The Howler is a two-rider tube with a single large cockpit and a speed-drop bottom. It adds a full heavy-duty nylon cover to the earlier Coupe-style design and can flip over to serve as a floating lounge.
• Winged and U-shaped designs: The Wild Wing uses a U-shaped body with a curved bottom for more action and easier towing, offered in 2-rider (340 lb) and 3-rider (510 lb) versions.
• Banana-style tubes: The Dragon Boat gives each of three riders a separate cockpit with a high backrest, plus doubled side pontoons for stability and easier boarding.
• Inline tubes with low seating: The Jet Boat series uses a Flex-Form seating system that lets riders sit down inside the tube rather than on top. That lowers the center of gravity so it stays upright and fast through whips and turns.
• Novelty designs: Tubes like the Weiner Dog pair hi-viz graphics with large custom-shaped side pontoons for stable seating.

Construction Details Worth Knowing

Across the line, Wow Sports towables share a consistent build approach. A heavy-gauge PVC bladder sits inside a nylon cover, and many models include double-webbing foam handles with EVA knuckle guards for a secure grip at speed. Most use a one-way speed valve for fast inflation and deflation, and a repair patch is typically included. Many also include a molded EZ-connect tow point for attaching the rope. Pairing a tube with a high-volume pump shortens setup time.

Choosing the Right Tube

Start with rider count and combined weight, since capacity ratings range from about 340 lbs for two-rider models to 510 lbs for three-rider models. Then consider riding style. Deck and cockpit tubes suit families and mixed-age groups who want secure seating. Winged and banana-style shapes lean toward more movement and sharper turns. Whichever you choose, match the tube to your boat's pulling power and use a tow rope rated for the load.
