The O'Brien Heli 2 is a performance-driven towable deck boating tube designed for 2 people, offering ultra-grip handles with integrated knuckle guards that are strategically placed to allow both riders to maintain a secure, fast, responsive, and stable experience. The core of its design is the integrated Speed Risers, which lift the tube slightly off the water’s surface. This reduces friction and drag, allowing for easier planing, faster acceleration, and more effortless whipping through turns, even with smaller engines.
Built for longevity, the Heli 2 features a multi-gauge (28/26/24) bladder system fully encased in a heavy-duty 840/420D nylon cover. For rider comfort, the deck is equipped with two large EVA pads to protect against abrasion and dampen the impact of crossing wakes. Six soft, ultra-grip handles with integrated knuckle guards are strategically placed to allow both riders to maintain a secure, comfortable bracing position during high-intensity manoeuvres.
