The beauty of inflatable water toys is you can pull them<br />
with almost anything that floats and has a motor. Your wave<br />
runner will be the most versatile option, but any speed boat<br />
will provide adequate towing capability as well.<br />
For stationary enjoyment for the entire family, try out<br />
the inflatable trampolines and waterslides. You can also buy<br />
modular systems that create a “water park” feel.<br />
You can turn any bay into a veritable wonderland of<br />
excitement for your crew. Best of all, you should experience<br />
fewer injuries as the water will break your fall.<br />
If you just want to soak up some rays, maybe an inflatable<br />
island or lanai is just what you need. They are available in all<br />
shapes and sizes and should provide that level of relaxation<br />
you’ve been dreaming of all winter.<br />
To find dealers of these products, just do your online<br />
research. Websites such as www.scheels.com and www.aquaglide.net<br />
will give you a starting point.<br />
Aquaglide® is a supplier of all types of inflatable water<br />
toys. The company’s website will give you a great range of options<br />
and then you can narrow your search down to that type<br />
of product to find one that fits your needs.<br />
As with any water sport, safety is always a concern. Be<br />
sure to pick out the toys that fit your family’s capabilities.<br />
Whipping a child on a tube behind a wave runner looks fun,<br />
but it can easily become dangerous with too much speed.<br />
Have fun and be careful!<br />
This summer, don’t be left out. Go online or to your nearest<br />
recreational supply store and pick out your favorites. You<br />
will be amazed at how much fun you’ve been missing on the<br />
water!<br />
