A winged D-shape drifts. The \u003cb\u003eDrift\u003c\/b\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eKey Technical Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eD Shape With Wings:\u003c\/b\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFull 840 Denier Nylon Cover:\u003c\/b\u003e Heavy woven shell that takes the abrasion of being dragged over a swim platform and the UV of a full summer without going chalky.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeavy Duty 30-Gauge PVC Bladder:\u003c\/b\u003e Thick-gauge bladder built for repeated hard rides. This is the part that decides whether a tube lasts one season or five.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDouble Webbing Foam Handles with Padded Knuckle Guards:\u003c\/b\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePull-Up Straps for Re-boarding:\u003c\/b\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eQuick Connect Tow Hook and Boston Dump Valve:\u003c\/b\u003e Hooked to the rope in seconds, and deflated fast enough that packing up does not eat the end of the day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eNo 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eBuy Now at Welcome Board Store for the best in authentic Wake gear and apparel.
