Banana Questions

1. That thing is bigger than my boat! Where could I possibly store it?

With the easy twist valves the unit quickly deflates and easily rolls and fits in the supplied tote bag and is usually stored in the ski compartment.  It generally reduces down to the size of a suitcase.

2. How much fun is the watersled?

If you have ever ridden a bucking bronco or wanted to then you will know how it feels. The bananas have a tremendous bounce. You feel every wave you hit, so hold on to your boots because you are definitely in for a wild ride!

3. If I don't want to deflate the watersled, where do I put it when we are on our boat but not using it?

Just pull the towline up and tie it off about 5 to 10ft behind you boat and pull it behind you.

4. Can I store the unit inflated?

Yes, just try to keep it out of extreme temperatures and out of direct sunlight.  We feel the unit is most easily stored deflated though.

5. The banana is so big I do not think my boat can pull it. What size boat do you need?

Just about any boat or watercraft can pull it, from a Jon boat to a Jet Ski. The banana sits on top of the water and is already on plane. Just pile everybody on and go. We have commercial operators that pull a fully loaded 10 seat side by side with a watercraft.

6. What happens if I puncture it? Do I have to throw it away or send it somewhere?

No, all of our units are reparable. The great thing about our units is that they are constructed of rubber with a cold glue process. This means that you can fix just about any repair yourself if you wanted to. All you need is glue sand paper and just a little elbow grease. You just clean the area, sandpaper it, wipe it off again, apply glue to your patch and to where you are patching, put the patch on, let it sit for 24hrs and you are ready to go.  If for some reason you don't have the time or do not think you can do it, there are several authorized repair stations you can send it to.  Contact us for further instruction or repair station location near you.

7. Is there an age limit for riders on the banana?

No not really. Anyone that can wear a life jacket and hold on can ride, from the very young to the very old. It is up to the driver to make the ride tame or challenging!
