Side wings that make it slide instead of track — the Drift skates out across the wake and bounces back through it, in a 2 or a 75-inch 3 rider.

About This Product

2027 Raptor The Drift Towable Tube | D-Shape With Wings, Built To Slide

A flat deck tube tracks. A winged D-shape drifts. The Drift is built for the second thing on purpose — the side wings add lift and surface area so the tube skates out sideways when you cut across the wake, then catches and bounces instead of digging in. It is the difference between a tube that just follows the boat and one that has everybody on board yelling. Two sizes: the Drift 2 for a tighter, faster ride, the 75" Drift 3 when the whole crew wants on.


Key Technical Features

  • D Shape With Wings: The wings are what make it drift. Extra lift and surface area out wide give you the slide across the wake and the bounce coming back through it.
  • Full 840 Denier Nylon Cover: Heavy woven shell that takes the abrasion of being dragged over a swim platform and the UV of a full summer without going chalky.
  • Heavy Duty 30-Gauge PVC Bladder: Thick-gauge bladder built for repeated hard rides. This is the part that decides whether a tube lasts one season or five.
  • Double Webbing Foam Handles with Padded Knuckle Guards: Padded where your knuckles hit the deck. It sounds minor until the third run, when it is the only reason anyone is still holding on.
  • Pull-Up Straps for Re-boarding: Grab and go. Getting back on is the least fun part of tubing and these make it a two-second job instead of a wrestle.
  • Quick Connect Tow Hook and Boston Dump Valve: Hooked to the rope in seconds, and deflated fast enough that packing up does not eat the end of the day.

Why You'll Love It

No skill required — tubing is where everyone on the boat gets a turn, and the Drift is squarely aimed at that. Take the 2 if it is usually a pair going out and you want it quicker and looser; take the 75" Drift 3 when there are kids, cousins and someone's mate all wanting a ride at once. If you would rather sit up and cruise than get flung about, the Relaxo is the calmer option.

About Raptor

Raptor is the boardsports arm of Straightline Sports Co, an Australian family watersports business based in Echuca, Victoria. The range is built around what actually gets ridden behind an Aussie boat — kneeboards, wakeboards, wakeskates, wakesurfers, combo skis, slalom skis and towables — designed in-house by a team that rides the gear it draws.

The brand's reputation was built on kneeboards, where the Madhouse, Powerfish and Misfit are fixtures on lakes and rivers around the country, and it has since carried that same value-for-money thinking into wakeboards and skis. Raptor sits alongside sister brand Straightline, whose ropes and handles have been an Australian benchmark for decades. Stocked through more than fifty specialist dealers nationwide.
