Orb vs booster ball

[vwrestler171]

Looking at getting a booster ball to help keep the water out of my kids faces while pulling them behind the boat. Any recommendations? I am seeing the Airhead ORB, the Sportsstuff Booster, and the O'Brien Shock Ball. Which one does everyone recommend and why?

I just bought the west marine booster ball. $110 piece of shit I tried it with all of these and it sucked

What was wrong with it?

Everyone says you will have to use 75' rope to avoid the spray

 

[vwrestler171]

Do tube ropes even come in 75' lengths?

 

[lazergeek]

You will have to add an extension

Just keep the tube outside the wake. It's not exceptionally difficult, provides a bit more fun for the ride, and keeps the spray down.

We use the booster ball. 15 feet extension to the rope. Kids still get splashed in the face but not as bad as before.

We have the sportstuff booster and like it. It knocks some of the spray down, but obviously not all of it. I do find it helps keep the rope up and out of the jet wash. I was able to sling the mess out of people yesterday. Was really the first time I had older people on my boat to really give it a workout. That an my boy is getting older now, I give him the business.
