So my dad bought the above (w/ tow rope & harness) and we went and tried it out in the lake. My mom had the rope and was pulling me from the side of the boat( i got on it in a shallow area by standing on some rocks). Well i was soon flipped in a pretty deep are. and when i got back to the shallow area i found a rock stood on it broke the rock and sliced my left foot pretty deep and went under( i didn’t have my vest on as my vest was preventing me from even trying to get on said towable). So we finally gave up and attempted to pull me in the boat(a very painful amount of time[remember- sliced foot]).
So anyways how do you get on it?
With great difficulty. XD
My family had something similar a while back. The only way I ever managed to get onto it from the water was to get up from the back. Basically, you have to pull it down so that the nose is up in the air and you can reach the back-most handle and gradually pull you self forward. It takes a lot of upper body strength. My sister could do it from the front, but I never figured out how she managed it.
You can also sometimes get on from the side if you’ve got someone on the opposite side holding it steady, but I never much cared for that method.
The only other way is to get onto the inflatable from the boat… and you have to be very, very careful doing it like that, as it’s easy to slip and smack you head on the boat.
