Airhead Viper 1 Towable Tube, 1 Rider Boat Tube with Speed Safety Valve (AHVI-F1)
The Airhead Viper 1 (AHVI-F1) is a 1 rider towable tube built for boat-towed water sports. Shaped like a boat hull rather than a flat disc, the Viper 1 delivers a lively, stable ride while its enclosed cockpit design gives riders, especially younger ones, a secure feeling of containment. The entire tube is wrapped in double-stitched nylon for comfort and long-term durability, and the durable 30 gauge bladder is fully encased inside that nylon cover rather than left exposed. Heavy-duty radio frequency welded seams keep air sealed in, and the inflated floor adds extra cushioning underneath the rider.
Two nylon-wrapped handles are foam-filled and fitted with neoprene knuckle guards, so riders can hold on tightly without discomfort even at speed. Inflating and deflating is handled through Airhead's patented Speed Safety Valve, a simple valve system designed for quick setup and teardown at the dock or ramp. The Viper 1 is finished with bold, NASCAR-inspired graphics. It is designed for use with any boat capable of towing a single-rider inflatable tube and is not tied to a specific make or model of watercraft.
