I pulled the deflated tube out of the water and noticed the seam on the side had started to rip apart (3 inch rip)

The seams are a little harder to find and fix.3

The seams split

The seam split and they were unable to use them

However, over time (and time can be as short as a few weeks or as long as a few months), the seams (that hold the blue and white fabric together) begin to leak.

Over time, this did rip out the bottoms of 2 of the floats.... but did not rip the seams or cause the floats to lose air

did I jump on it so the split seam stemmed from a manufacturer's error

and they all are still working great as of the end of last summer!

We use these to float down a local creek/river several times per year, as well as to float on at a nearby lake

Worked exactly as I had hoped, surprisingly comfortable, the cupholders sort of tilt inwards when occupied so don't set a full drink in them or it will spill, the only downside is that the dark coloring will burn your arms when you rest them on the plastic sides if you're floating on a really hot sunny day.

I prefer the double as I feel I get more for my
