ABSTRACT:
A riding apparatus has a cover and plural inflatable tubes for towing several riders at once. The tubes are toroidally shaped and can be of the type used in vehicle tires. The cover has elongated, flexible top and bottom members coupled together at the sides. Plural cavities are formed between the top and bottom members. Each cavity matingly receives a tube. Each cavity communicates with the adjacent cavities so that each tube contacts the adjacent tubes at tangent points. The tangential points of contact between the tubes and the flexible top and bottom members coupling the tubes together allow each tube to pitch up and down with respect to the adjacent tubes. A towing harness is attached to the cover.
