Anyone know where to get a HO Tube?

[Tigebert]

As much as we enjoy the surfing, skiing, riding thing, I must keep the young ones (and the tequila'd big kids ) happy as well. I'm looking for a HO towable tube. Either the GT3R which I think was a Costco offering or the HO Velocity. Anyone know a good contact for such? Can't seem to find.

Thx,

Chris

At this point I would wait until next spring and pick one up at Costco. That is what we did, kids had to wait till this spring.

Yeah that's what I was hoping too. My kids rode a GT3R last weekend which was WAY more stable than the biscuit we currently use. I must admit, I also tried it with the kids and had a blast on the thing. We were getting whipped pretty good and the tube stayed very stable. I was impressed with it and the kids were laughing the whole ride. Problem is my daughter loved it so much she is going to ask "Santa" for one for Christmas. Dang...you think I can find one??

My understanding is the popular ones (GT3 and GTX) were/are Costco exclusives, and they appear in the spring and are usually sold out before the summer starts. Our GTX (which the kids loved) sprung a leak on the 4th of July weekend, and when I called Costco to replace it, they didn't have it at any stores in So. Cal.

I have seen them on other sites (including eBay and this one: http://www.hutshop.com/wa-449685.html), but they are usually charging a premium over Costco's price. Depends on what Santa is willing to pay. Just Google "HO GTX".
