Pine Cone Tubes: Think of it as looooong line art.. Basically we took our six-spike Pine Cone and made it bigger. Now you can order a Pine Cone Tube in any size or colors you want! We're priceing each pair of cones at $3.50. Six reach about five feet. So twelve are ten feet and twenty are, well, twenty feet. |
|
Long Spikey Ball Tubes: We stretched out the Spikey Ball Tube and added more balls. More balls is good, right?? Choose your colors and format:

Long Star Tubes: Our single Star Tube was such a hit, we decided to go one better and offer a longer tube with the same design. You get six inflatable stars spread over a fifty foot tube. Looks great when the wind is working all 36 points. We're pricing the Star Tubes to move at $60 each. Try making one, and you'll agree it is a great price!

Diamond Tubes: Our best looking tube yet! The unique pattern is labor intensive but well worth the effort. Each tube is made from four complimentary colors and contains over 100 pieces of fabric. The result is a delightfully complex array of color in the sky. We then finish each piece off with a tapered point in the final section. We can also make a six-color Rainbow Diamond Tube. Choose the convenient 20 footers for for $25, the striking 50 footers for $75 or the incredible 100 foot Diamond Tubes for $130. Pick up a set of three and we'll knock off 20%.

Our 55 foot Taper Tubes begin with a six inch opening and reduce to a point with a small opening (to let the sand out). We offer them in all primary colors with a black/white accent strip one-third of the way down. The price? Less than a dollar a foot -- $50 each. And remember all tubes are 20% when you order sets of three. Licensed & Protected Design by S. Oswald

Mega Tubes need a solid lifter and moderate to fresh winds. This photo was taken in 4 mph with a Pilot 140.

Transition Tubes: Check these out! The color emphasis changes over the length of the tube for a stunning effect in the sky. Think of it as a kinda patchwork, art-deco, eye-popping piece of fun. Transition Tubes are similar in design to our flat Transition Tails. But with a tube you get a more flowing and hypnotic effect. Each tube is made from three complimentary colors and contains over 250 pieces of fabric. "Tran Tubes" come in three sizes. The standard forty-eight footer is $75. We also make a big ninety-six foot tube for $140. Our you can get the twenty-four foot "micros" for $35. All Transition Tubes are made-to-order and take about two weeks. Let us know what colors you want, or let us help you accent a larger deta or lifter.

Racing Stripe Tubes: Sometimes more simple is more better... For years, our favorite display was a series of tubes in a bold color with a simple black-and-white accent. Susie says they look like racing stripes. Anyway, one day it occurred to us that we should be making them for you too.
We have the 50 footers for $50 and the dramatic 100 foot tubes for $130. And since a bunch of them look really cool, buy three and we'll take 20% off!

Basic Tube Tails:
This one is a no-brainer... We've got twenty foot long tube tails, three inches in diameter, with six colored sections and a tab at the end so you can connect them. Put them on a kite, a line, or string them together behind a stunt kite. Your price is $12 each. Pick up a bunch! Choose from our stock colors of Patriot (red/white/blue), Warm (red/orange/yellow), Cool (purple/blue/green), or Rainbow (red/orange/yellow/green/blue/purple). And of course we can make custom colors too.

Advertising Tubes: Make a statement in the sky! Announce your team, your club, your business, or just wish your mother a happy birthday... Our big, bold Advertising Socks are 16"high with appliqued letters that you can see for a *long* way. Letters and spaces take up one foot each, and stripes are 20 inches wide. Make one as long as you want! Prices are $10 per letter or stripe, so a typical tube with 6 stripes and 14 letters or spaces goes to 24 feet and costs $200. Each tube is individually crafted (of course) by Kevin Shannon of Carlisle Kiteworks. Click on the photo to see how they fly.
