We have had this for a couple years, has been on the water once or twice. We no longer have a boat, therefore no longer have a use for it! Comes with tow ropes. The description from website for this tube is as follows: The Airhead Transformer is 3 tubes in one! Designed for 1 or 2 riders, ride it deck to deck, cockpit to cockpit or cockpit to deck! The riders can sit down, deck tube style, or riders can choose to also ride lie on the soft comfortable pads. Simply remove the inflatable inserts and roll up the deck pads in seconds and transform it into a recumbent cockpit. Young children will especially enjoy the safety and security of cockpit mode. The inflated floors and deluxe handles with neoprene knuckle guards will help them feel safe and secure. Teens and adults normally prefer a wilder deck tube ride. Transformer 2 is built to last, with rugged double stitched nylon and vinyl bladders. The heavy duty Kwik Connect and patented Speed Safety Valve provide quick and easy rope hook ups, inflating and deflating.
