Can you use this in the ocean?

I don't really know, we are on a lake. I think it is sturdy enough! My opinion... I think so.

I found the jumbo dog to be very durable. It can handle heavy waves and wakes and is actually very fun in the ocean - especially for children (and adults) that are not as comfortable on the regular tubes because you really can't fall off unless you want to.

Yes, you can use it in the ocean. I own a boat rental company at a lake in the Dallas area... I would caution you that these jumbo dogs have a tendency to leak air / go flat easier than they should.I've owned several over the years...they just dont have a long life, depending on how much you use them.If you are using repeatedly or for commercial use I would suggest a real banana tube. Real banana tubes can be $800-1000.The real banana tubes are a much thicker material. These jumbo dogs have a thinner plastic liner. They really cant take a lot of abuse.

Yes, we used this in the ocean but pulling it would require more power when the water becomes choppy as the waves gets considerably higher; as compared on lakes which would be a smoother ride.

it all depends on the sea water temperature. i have been using it in Rio de Janeiro from spring to autumn. in the summer it gets too hot.

I use it indoors, but I wouldn't object to using it outdoors. Like another user said, bringing it to the beach seems like a great idea!

i dont believe you can, it should say in the instructions but i wouldnt put it in water you can probably skim over the water and it would work. it has worked very well on dry land

I think so, you have to keep it very wet though. The sand might be a problem.

I haven't used it in the ocean, but I don't imagine that it would be effected by the salt water.The ipod is waterproofed on the inside. It's not like it's just covered by a flimsy external waterproof cover. To look at the ipod, it just looks like any other normal ipod. The water, salted or otherwise should not be a problem.

I wouldn't recommend it. It's a very stable kayak, but when you have the element of waves, the likelihood that it will take on water increases. I would say to get a kayak that is made specifically for the ocean.

Of course not. Its not rated for underwater use either. Place it under an eve in a protected area, you'll be fine.

Yes, but it would probably not be very beneficial if the surface is always touching salt water. This product is just a very heavy exterior coat, but not actually "permanent".

Taking this into the ocean does not sound safe, especially with children. We only have used it in the pool

I would say yes. I use it in a salt water swimming pool, but have not used it in the ocean. The device is sealed and should not let in any water, salt or otherwise. If you are worried about effect of salt remaining on the surface and drying out there, wash it off after use. Additionally, the instructions coming with the device do not contraindicate use in salt water.

What you need to do is check with the manufacture of this unit. Some people place a large plastic bag over the foot and up the shaft as high aspossible and use it in shallow areas along the beach. However you run the chance of a leak and could suffer damage from the humidity of the saltwater. Don't take chances if your not willing to except the lose of the unit from use in areas it isn't designed for. Personally no I would nottake that chance.Joseph

I only use it in fresh...... and motor this small would not be a good idea in the ocean

I see no reason why this unit could not be used in salt water. I am not for sure if maps for some salt water area's is loaded but I know you can get a card and load them into unit. It does come with transducer and the GPS reads your speed, it is very accurate.

Yes but make sure that it's not where it'll won't get drowned with salt water

I would think you could use it with salt water since all internal working parts that the salt water can come into contact with is plastic.
