Airhead Orb Booster Ball Towable Tube Tow Rope, 60 ft., 4100 lb. Tensile Strength

The Airhead Orb (AHOR-12) is a booster ball built into a 60 foot towable tube rope, designed to lift the rope up out of the water and wake so a tube responds instantly when the boat changes direction. It is especially useful on boats with a low tow point on the transom, where a standard rope tends to drag and slap the wake. By keeping the line taut and out of the water, the Orb virtually eliminates slack, which improves tube handling, reduces the jarring snap-back riders feel when the line comes tight, and cuts down on stress to the towable's cover over time. The booster ball itself is built from durable 30 gauge PVC with no nylon cover, and it inflates to 39 inches by 26 inches. The included rope is a 60 foot, 16-strand polypropylene line rated to 4100 pounds tensile strength, giving it the strength needed for towing tubes, water-skiing, and wakeboarding. This is a complete tow-rope solution in one package rather than an add-on accessory for an existing rope.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the rope on the Airhead Orb, AHOR-12? The rope included with the AHOR-12 is 60 feet long.

What is the tensile strength of the included rope? The rope has a tensile strength of 4100 pounds, made from 16-strand polypropylene.

What size is the booster ball when inflated? The Orb booster ball measures 39 inches by 26 inches when fully inflated.

What is the booster ball made of? The Airhead Orb is built from 30 gauge PVC with no nylon cover, giving it a durable, water-resistant construction.

Why would I need a booster ball instead of a plain tow rope? A booster ball is especially useful on boats with a low tow point on the transom, since it keeps the line taut and out of the water, virtually eliminating slack so a tube tracks and turns predictably behind the boat.

Does the Orb booster ball reduce wear on my tube? Yes, because the AHOR-12 removes slack from the tow line, it reduces the snap-back force riders feel and lowers stress on the tube and its cover over repeated use.

What is included when I order the AHOR-12? The AHOR-12 comes as a complete unit: the Airhead Orb booster ball attached to a 60 foot, 4100 pound tensile strength tow rope.

What color is the Airhead Orb booster ball? The AHOR-12 booster ball is blue.

How much does the Airhead Orb tow rope weigh? The complete Airhead Orb (AHOR-12) unit weighs 8.04375 pounds.

Can the Orb be used for water-skiing and wakeboarding, or just tubing? The Airhead Orb works for towing tubes as well as water-skiing and wakeboarding, since it is built around a standard tow rope with the booster ball attached.

Is the Orb different from the Airhead 4K Booster Ball? Yes, the AHOR-12 Orb is a separate product from the Airhead 4K Booster Ball, which is offered as another option in the Airhead booster ball lineup.
