With Summer winding down, RAVE Sports has some hot new specials available in our online store.
Roll out the barrels … and get rid of them! The Aqua Deck swim platform will revolutionize the way you relax on the water. With a soft trampoline center, the Aqua Deck invites you to bounce, yet encourages you to lounge. This floating platform can be anchored permanently or transported easily on and off the water. Admit it, this swim platform makes more sense than the traditional ones.
With just a bounce or two, you’ll agree that the award-winning Aqua Jump water trampoline is the most exciting toy on the water. Sure it’s big, yet it takes less than an hour to set up and it’s a snap to secure. Your Aqua Jump brings family and friends together for hours of entertainment. Now that’s time and money well invested.
This isn’t your typical “glide-along” towable! While it may not come to you in the first run, start riding in the down position like any deck tube, then position your feet or knees against the upright tail bladder and pull’er up to release the aggressive face of the Cobra to all those looking on from the tow craft!
This tube provides multiple Soft-Grip™ foam handles with foam knuckle guards designed for lay-down and pull-up riding positions. In the lay down position, elbows are protected with a generous pad of foam. Inflation and deflation are quick and easy on this 2 chambered tube. Ride this snake and make it strike!

Both the House and Senate have passed a new resolution declaring July 1st “National Boating Day” to recognize the important role of recreational boating and the boating industry plays in the lives of the nation’s 70 million boaters and the U.S. economy.
Thom Dammrich, National Marine Manufacturer’s Association president stated, “The entire marine industry and recreational boaters nationwide look forward to celebrating National Boating Day. Not only is recreational boating a beloved pastime, but marine businesses are important parts of their communities and our national economy, creating business opportunities and local jobs. Our thanks go to all of the Members of Congress behind this resolution for their strong support of the boating industry.”
So what are your plans for “National Boating Day?”

The National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) is coordinating with the US Coast Guard and local officials for a national weekend of Boating under the Influence (BUI) enforcement, in the hopes of reducing the number of alcohol-related boating accidents.
This weekend (June 26th-28th) local law enforcement agencies and the US Coast Guard will be stepping up safety and BUI inforcement in an effort to crackdown on the number of injuries and fatalaties caused by Boating under the Influence. Nearly 20% of fatal boating accidents are a result of alcohol use, and in most states, operating a recreational vehicle with a Blood Alcohol Content of 0.08% or higher is against the law.
