Big Bertha Tube By Sportsstuff By cnt24 on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
We have owned this fun tube for 3 seasons now. For 1-4 riders, Big Bertha by Sportsstuff is a great tube for water sport activities. It's durable, easy to tow, and safe.
This is one boat toy that we have had no regrets on buying. Compared to others that we looked at, Big Bertha is one tough tube. We have ridden and abused it for three years. The vinyl can take a beating from the water and the sun. There is an outer shell covering made of nylon parachute like material and it's tough too.
The product paperwork says that you can put 4 on it. We've only ridden two. The size does seem to accommodate that number though. It's 68" in diameter.
I'm not a dare devil but my husband is. He's been able to make the tube take air and jump wakes like a pro--he fell off once during his antics. I'm happy to just ride the wakes. Our teen likes to lay spread eagle over the top and see if she can get flipped into the water--that has not happened because the tube is so well balanced.
We like this tube so much that we take it with us on every boating adventure. I think it is perfect for family water sports and safe for kids. It is definitely well worth the investment.

When I see those I always think about JAws... lol I have a tube for my boat, but I was thinking about getting the tude. They sounds like a blast. I can't wait for the warm weather to start partying on the lake again!
Well-written article, explaining the reasons you bought this product, which frankly sounds like a lot of fun! I'll have to talk to my relatives, with whom I share a lake cabin and a boat, and see if this is something we might go for! Thanks!
I love the name Big bertha and it looks like so much fun. I've always wanted to go tubing. The closest I have gotten is a bananna boat, that was a blast.
This sounds like so much fun. I used to water ski when I was younger. This would be a great alternative!
Tubing sounds like so much fun and this Big Bertha tube sounds like a winner. I never been tubing like that even though I live where there is A LOT of lakes! LOL
A friend of ours has a boat and this is the favorite activity when we visit him. This is so much fun and I am with you...perfectly happy riding the wakes.
This looks like the epitome of summer fun!! I am not quite the daredevil but I know my husband would love something like this!
Tubing is so much fun. This product sounds great.
