. I have two comments about the float which you may find useful. First, I had trouble figuring out how to blow it up. The valves for blowing it up are hidden beneath the nylon cover. There is a Velcro strip which allows access to the valves. I did not know this and wound up calling your company. I spoke to a man in who was most helpful but I don’t recall his name. Apparently I was not the first such call he’d had. You may wish to include a single sheet of instruction with the float which shows where the Velcro opening is and where the blow-up valves are. Second, there’s a definite problem with getting the float out of the water after you’ve used it. The nylon cover basically becomes a bag of water. There are holes with grommets in the cover which allow the water to drain out after use. But the process takes several minutes and involves holding the now heavy float up out of the water while the water in the cover drains out. After doing this once I solved the problem by cutting a slit (about six inches) in the bottom end of the cover that allows the water to drain out much more quickly. I suggest that you change the design of the cover to include such slits. Other than the blow-up problem and the drain-the-cover problem, I like the float.

I have one of these floats each year. I usually trash at the end of season rather than store it. The best float ever and I use it almost daily in the summer season. It is HUGE and so comfortable, allowing room for arms and legs to be completely on the float. The canvas cover makes it more comfortable and less prone to added prespiration. Great float!
