Little did I realise that the Big Mable was going to provide some seriously large jumps, rivalling the O\u2019Brien Screamer for the biggest air award.\r\n\r\nWhen running in a straight line behind the boat, the sofa design provided a comfortable ride with the deep base and back rest helping absorb any impacts and the handles being well placed to hang on to. The side rests also proved invaluable for counterbalancing any tipping when being flung outside the wake.\r\n\r\nThe Big Mable did not quite live up to standard set by its predecessor, the Super Mable. But if you're looking for a two-person boat tube that is all about thrills and spills, you'd be hard pushed to beat this - and very hard pushed to beat this price!\r\n
