Step 1
Buy boat towables either online or at your local sporting goods store. Many large discount department stores also have some types of boat towables in their sporting goods section. Towables are such things as inflatable rafts, boats, inner tubes and floating trampolines.

Step 2
Decide what age group you want to entertain before you buy boat towables. There are different kinds of boat tubes that can be used in different ways. Some types are good for pulling behind a boat at a slow, steady speed for young children. Others are made (or can be adjusted) for "wide-open," full-speed-ahead exciting fun for teens and adults.

Step 3
Consider buying a towable bag to carry your water sport gear in when you buy boat towables. They make bags in varying sizes that can hold your inflatable boats, tubes and tow ropes. A towable bag will make it easier to transport and store your boating recreation equipment.
-
Step 4
Determine what type of tow rope to buy when you pick out your boat towables. Some tow ropes have a self-centering harness that makes it easier to maintain a centered position when you're towing a tube full of people behind your boat. Ropes are made to accommodate single-rider tubes, 4-rider or 6-rider boats and rafts. Bungee tow ropes provide an even more thrilling ride. They contract and stretch with the turns and speed of the boat, providing jerks with each speed surge.

Step 5
Check the rated pounds of tension strength that a tow rope can handle. When you buy boat towables, you need a tow rope that can handle the size of the inflatable and the number of people who will ride.
