 |  Wego kite tube
anyone else invest in this 600$ tube? well if you have, im sure you know or have heard about the recall, i had one and we have to send it in and get it replaced, i guess 2 people deceased on it and a bunch of people have got seriously injured, some people got about 45 feet up in the air and fell, which i have experienced myself, sometimes you get a gust, and i got abotu 20 feet up and it just turns over and you cant do anything about it. i havent gone on it since and i get nervous seeing friends do it, im glad they recalled, besides we get a free safer non flying tube  |

| Re: Wego kite tube
well see, when your on a wakeboard, you have control over what you do... on this tube, you can be riding it like any normal tube and the wind can pick you up 20 feet in the air without you wanting it to, and then throwing you off, you have no choice over how high it goes sometimes, on a wakeboard you do. oh and p.s you can get your private pilots license on this baby hahaha |
