I know this topic is hit or miss on those that like them and those that buy and after one use (maybe never) it ends up stored away in the garage/attic. We have/had the 'Airhead' "Orb" that is red and yellow. The rope is I think 50' long and goes through the middle of it. Well after a couple seasons of heavy use, it finally sprung a leak and I can't for the life of me find the leak. It might be internal.
That being said we are on the hunt for a new one, which of course is the worst time/season to be searching. Looking online it now looks like they make it where it is similar to the tubes we pull the kids on, in that there is a cover with an inflatable ball in the middle. There are also straps that go on the outside that connect the ropes. Maybe it's not new, but new to me. Curious if people have noticed a difference between the two when towing or its ability to live longer. It is definitely more expensive than the Orb.
... And if someone has one in their attic/garage that they aren't using and are looking to sell I am open to making a deal.
