stu, you'll have to experiment, 20-25 knots it plenty.... at differnet speeds the tube will do different things... I have a 3 man one... which if it catches the air can stay airbourne for a little while.. also, for differnet people different speeds is better... the faster you go the harder it is to hold on... take it easy at first, and try people at different speeds

And slow down on turns... or make them wide... the force of a turn gets a lot harder when you're at the tube end

We had a ringo behind a mod-v-p with an xr2 on the back, good for over 70mph she cornered fairly level and you didn't have to back off at all in the flat. When it whipped out on turns it was hard just to hang on, I'd hate to think the speed it was doing on the outside of a 180 degree turn. flying was no problem, problem was landing!
