Pete,
I've read for years about your hatred for tubes and those who ride/tow them. After reading your post (and drinking a few cold ones) to Billy I got to thinking about you riding a tube and your attitude about them. I wondered if I could challenge you to a tube off. You on a tube and my wife behind the wheel. If you can stay on that tube for five minutes then we all concede that tubing should be outlawed. If you can't stay on the tube, well then you have to lay off of everybody for enjoying them. What do you say? Wagers can be placed right here. Who wouldn't want to see Pete and those locks of arctic blond pasted to his forehead after my teeny school teacher wife skips him like a rock with the help of a "Competition Ski Boat"  ------------- Steve 2011 Sport/Air 200 Excalibur 343 2017 Boatmate Tandem Axle Trailer Former CC owner (77, 80, 95, 88, all SNs) Former Malibu owner (07, 09) |

Careful there Steve,the economy is tight and you don't want to just throw away money. You just might not remember some of these quotes--
[/QUOTE] Now I'm wondering if your baiting someone Chris,I know that you know we have a pro right here in the greater Chicago area 
"Pete on the site here is a professional tuber and could probably answer this for you, he is on the tubers circuit, and from what i hear there is pretty good money in it" [/QUOTE] or this one-
I think he's a ringer,be careful ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

so you think Pete's been using reverse psychology in an attempt to bait someone like me to throw out a challenge like this so that he can demonstrate his inflatable prowess?
$100 for the first person who can produce photo/video evidence of Mr. Brainard on a tube. Bonus points if he's wearing gloves. ------------- Steve 2011 Sport/Air 200 Excalibur 343 2017 Boatmate Tandem Axle Trailer Former CC owner (77, 80, 95, 88, all SNs) Former Malibu owner (07, 09) |

OK gang, it's now become very obvious that photographic evidence is needed to show my tubing skills. I'm going up north for the full week before Labor Day so I guess I'll just have to get some pictures and post them!!
I'm sorry but all the tournaments in the Midwest that I always go to are over with and done for the season. Any pro pictures in competition will have to wait till next summer but, I promise, I'll get you guys some pictures. In the mean time, keep up with that excellent sport of tubing!!  ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

It's something about sitting upright on a tube with a plain shirt on that does it.

Back to this original challenge, seems a little biased towards the driver to me as I see no mention of inclusion of the PTT (Pro Tubing Tour) driving guidelines. Without limitations even an average PTT driver can immediately remove not only a premier level PTT tuber from the tube but typically they can also remove the cover from the tube! Such an uneven playing field very quickly makes for boring TV, as such section 2.1 of the PTT rules and regulations was adopted and outlines the following limitations on driving techniques.
2.1.a Driver shall not exceed 25 mph at any time! Constant speeds are encouraged except in situations of "slack". 2.1.b The driver shall make every effort to avoid "slack" in the tow rope. Should at any time enough slack develop that the front of the tube (as defined by the tow point) is not within a 40 degree arch of a tangent line drawn between the center of the tube and the towpoint of the boat, the driver should immediately cut power and regain speed only after tuber approval. 2.1.c Use of the "Circle of Death" or other "additive wake techniques" such as a "double up" is only allowed in circumstances of "tuber trash talking" (TTT). A TTT situation cannot be declared without the agreement of at least one non driving passenger in the tow boat. Upon declaration of a TTT and initiation of the AWT the offending tuber has the choice to either let go of the tube before impact and cease and desist with trash talking for the rest of the session, or take his chances. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |

Now Joe, recall that Pete has stated numerous times that it takes no skill to ride a tube and if that's the case, then the driver should have the freedom to whip Mr. Brainerd into the Circle of Death "at speed" hit a double up or two and basically implement any other driving techniques he or she thinks to test Mr. Brainerd's thoughts about tube skills. He's already been a vocal part of the TTT, no? ------------- Steve 2011 Sport/Air 200 Excalibur 343 2017 Boatmate Tandem Axle Trailer Former CC owner (77, 80, 95, 88, all SNs) Former Malibu owner (07, 09) |

It;s been a great 10 day vacation. I've gotten plenty done but the most exciting is getting out on the lake on the tube. Wanting to take my pro tubing a step farther and after taking to my future son in law who is ranked 1 of the top 3 kite boarders in the world, I decided to add a challenge and some skill to the sport. Kite tubing is just making it's appearance in some of the pro circuits. I borrowed the kite but used my trusted racing tube. It's formulated with a super tough iso butylin poly rubber. The thing is fast!!!!
And John, One just for you!! 
It was cold up north and in fact we got some frost in low lying areas so I'll need to start practicing again next spring. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Pete, I spent the day pre staining the edges of 800 sguare feet of what will be a very dark floor. It is five inch wide white oak and we dont want white edges seen when it opens up a little every winter (like all wood floors in minnesota do). Anyway the process gives the mind time to wander. Your tubing skills are only exceeded by your ability to be a good sport .
I am thinking signed posters of you in the tube would be a great CCF fund raiser. ------------- For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died. Things got better after they invented boats. 1987 Ski Nautique |
