Right type of Tube?

Raised 2 boys and we did a lot of tubing, waterskiing and some bare footing.
In my opinion the tube is not nearly as important as the boat operator and spotter.
Mirror is great if you’re an accomplished driver on a closed course. But they tend to be very distracting especially on a busy lake like Winni with boats everywhere. Driver tends to spend to much time watching the person behind the boat and not whats around him/her.
Also remember because many boaters do not do this, even thought you’re pulling a person behind your boat you still have to give way to other boats as you would under normal conditions. It is very rare to see this on the lake especially in Paugus Bay.
