New Kid

A new tube on the market. Actually been out for a little while, but I wanted to give a little review

North Fork Outdoors Escape.



It is 6' long and 52" wide. A little heavier than allot of tubes at 24lbs. but it has the inflatable floor plus the oars. It is also Bladderless three chamber.
Very heavy duty material.

The Oar set up is simply remove the ball by unscrewing it (it even has a string attached so you can't drop and loose it)



The Oar has a hole in it that you now slide over the peg:



Replace the ball by screwing it back on and ready to go. The oars stay in place on the side of the tube.



Next, attach the cloth seat with four straps and clips:







Footrest is a bar with a special clip.

Extra features are a pressure release valve built into the floor:



And SKID PLATES. Sorry I didn't get a picture of this, but there are rectangle patches about 12" x 8" on the bottom of the tube that are replaceable. They are located on the up sweep portion allowing you to pick the boat up by the ring on the end of the boat and pull it to the water.
