Sorry man! When I was drawing the wake world ones I was hoping you got a set. Yes these are designed to be deflated and stored. That is one of their best features! The plug hole itself doesn't have a valve or anything. Air flows in and out with ease. So they are pretty easy to deflate and get most of the air out of them.BABz - babzusa.com

I appreciate that! If it makes you feel better I never win anything either.Originally posted by Jetdriver View PostHaha! No worries man, I never win anything anyhow. It’s cool that you’re promoting your product that way! I’m happy to support somebody with a good/innovative product especially when they have such good taste in boats!
I’ll be ordering a set of 4.
Thanks!
Yes! Use code tigelove18 for 15% off. Both this code and the wake world code have no expiration. But are set to 25 orders. So when those are used up they're gone!Originally posted by Jetdriver View PostI meant to ask if you’re still running a discount code for tigeowners?
If not no worries but figured I’d ask before I ordered a set.BABz - babzusa.com

No problem! That new rubber taste is definitely no fun! haha! I can't wait for everyone to get these on the water.Originally posted by Jetdriver View PostReceived my BABZ, seem well put together and are easy to inflate/deflate using just my lungs, although the new rubber taste was not particularly tasty!
I’m excited to use them this summer!
Thanks again for the quick shipping Blackout!BABz - babzusa.com

Finally got to use the BABz -- it was cold and windy, and they worked great!
You can kind of tell from the waves, it was blowing pretty good, and with the gusts, my old fenders would not have protected the entire boat -- I would have rubbed hard. These kept a great distance.
Learned a couple of things though -- knowing I would need them, I thought I would be smart and put them on while the trailer was backing down. They definitely do not clear the guide posts. After pinching one pretty good (and wondering what I was stuck on despite giving it some gas), it was no worse for wear.
They also fit well on the cleats -- the diameter of the handle may be just a bit big, though that's being picky, I would rather have it stout and not risk ripping it off. Placing the ball on first, and then the rope, ensures that if it does happen to pop off, it isn't going anywhere.
Good product, would buy more if needed, though I'm guessing it will only be for gifts, since my four will probably serve quite awhile.
One question still -- any source for replacement plugs? After deflating and heading out to the water, I saw one of the kids playing with them, and though I recovered them this time, I know my luck will run out.
Thanks for a great product!

I'm so glad you like them! I love seeing customer photos of BABz out in the wild! I'm going to throw this on the BABz instagram (@babzusa) if that's ok with you. I also really love hearing real world feedback. Funny you say that about putting them on before taking it off the trailer. I have done this several times as well as putting it on the trailer. They are easy to forget about. Great looking boat by the way! Hopefully you'll find some smoother water soon. As far as the plugs go. I have a ton of extras coming sometime in May. As soon as I get them I'll be reaching out to everyone who has already purchased. For new customers I'll be including an extra one or two with each order.Originally posted by hcooperrn View PostFinally got to use the BABz -- it was cold and windy, and they worked great!
