Is this easy to get in and out of in the water? Lets say I want to hop in the water to cool off, will I have trouble getting back into this thing?

My husband uses this for wade fishing. He says it's very easy to get in and out of the water and he has no problem getting in and out of it. Holds about twice the amount of air than a regular pool chair, but has many pockets for storage.

It depends on your body weight. My hubby weighs 195 lbs on 5'11"... don't have problem getting in & out. My daughter's bf weighs 210 lbs on 6'1" .... no problem also...

you sit down on the mesh seat, so your floating really well. With little waves this would be great, bigger waves would toss you around, but won't sink you. Have fun....

I would say it is not easy. Not super difficult but not easy. if you can pull yourself out of a pool without a ladder or step then you can do it.

I did not have the difficulty you are having. I simply held it under my right arm tightly and twisted with my left hand. It came out right away. If you have already tried that, then I am not sure what will help. What about submerging it in water?

I haven't had any reason to try to get into mine, but just from looking I would say that getting this apart will be quite a chore. I am almost certain that it will no longer be water-tight once this is done.

Hi, Im not sure that i understanding the question... But, here at home, we always have problem with the pull out handle (where the water comes out) . Every time we shut down the water, the pull out fall down from its place, it's not tight enough. It's absolutely annoying...

The water (after it has cooled) is easy to pour out. No problem with getting water inside. Just pour out the side that doesn't have the slide mechanisim and dry. This is still our favorite item and will be giving as gifts this Christmas.

No. You have to really try. It's extremely stable and very comfortable. Like many reviews, it's not the fastest or straightest kayak, but for the price. It's not a bad tandem kayak to get into

you just sit there. It is hard to get on and off and much easier to jump into from a boat. It is a wonderful Gadget howeverthere is no foot rest but plenty of hand grips

When I first used it I kept breathing in water...eventually I realised I needed to fiddle with the valve, the inner bits were just in the wrong place. After that ... Absolutely no issues. Good luck and happy swimming.

Not totally sure what you mean......but I swim laps in my pool everyday with it. There's really nothing stationary about it......you get in the water and do whatever you want to do. It's just easier to keep afloat. I am not a strong swimmer but this helps me more than I can say.

We have glassy to choppy out here, and on a choppy day it stayed stable even though I was just on my second try. Got tired and had to sit ( I'm definitely getting the seat! ) and paddle in. As I get more proficient I have no doubts about it being a solid stable and fun ride in less than smooth conditions. Though it is harder to turn..

The previous poster is correct it doesnt fly per say but you will get good air and it will float just off the water for a second or 2 during hard cornering. Also it is extremely stable up to the edge of sanity my 2 small kids (6 and 9) love it more than a tube cause of how stable it is.

It is a quality product and will hold the weight of even three people easily but if you are just "floating" and not pulling it with your boat there are better options. This isn't for lounging around because like someone mentioned if it's not in motion being pulled behind a boat the front nose dives into the water. This is built for laying on it low and holding on to the grips and feet and legs hanging off the back. So if you are just wanting to use it as a raft or like an inner tube this is not what it's designed for and I think you would be unhappy with it if it were used for that purpose. If you use it for pulling behind a boat and going fast (or slow) you can't go wrong with this. We love it.

I haven't had any problems with them trying to escape. As long as the water parameters are healthy, they should be very happy to stick around. :)

I had it in the water all of last week and i found out a few things. It will float without a floatie back-door untill you dive below about 10 feet. At that point it's seals give and it takes on some water. That being said, I still really liked this pole. I opted to not use the floatie and instead put one of the tethers on the back door, then looped the tether around the head of the GoScope before attaching the GoPro. I flipped the camera orientation upside-down and put it on the bottom side of the pole and got great results. Very steady video. The wrist strap on the GoScope made me feel secure that I would not lose it.

It's impossible to get them in and out even if it would withstand the paws, which it won't. Even birds landing on it can puncture the outer ring that holds all the water in place. I tried carrying mine in and out with life jackets on to swim with me, but almost dropped them since the ladder is difficult. I had a neighbor whose dog climbed up the ladder when it was left in the pool and the dog died. There was no way for it to get back out, so it swam until it drowned. That can happen with any type of pool so please take care and watch your pets. Mine are happiest playing in plastic kiddie pools that I can just refill each day without the cost or worry of pool chemicals.
