Hey a week or two ago there was a post about these. did anyone ever find where to buy some black ones, or plain ones??

something that doesn't have Cinderella on the front of it?

I think overtons sells something similar for like $14...without spongebob. Not sure exactly what colors though.

Toys r us
They have black ones with the Cars logo.

If you are going to use these on a black boat you may want to check out bumper wraps.

I just bought four hippy hops and they worked great. I always use to worry about my bouys poping out of place and these are perfect for tying up.

Target $7.99 best $35 i have ever spent

I bought 2 last week and i will be buying 2 more before this weekend. They work great.
TJ,
Dont get blank ones. You need to get the ones with the Cars logo or Spongebob logo. Everyone was talking about them and how stupid they are but after they seen them in action everyone boat around me wanted them.

The ones at Toys r us are a little bigger than the size of a basketball. You air them up pretty firm and they stay perfect between 2 tied up boats. The old bumers always slid up and out of place and these stay perfect between the boats and dont slid out of place.

hope so

Just wait till you get drunk and decide to have hippy-hop fights with the ones big enough to sit and bounce around on....

don't ask.

After this thread, we got two (didn't have anymore) of the Cars from Toys-r-us. They worked very well. Also tried to rodeo them and jump in the water...didn't work out to well

Maybe I'm missing something. We bought a bunch of the Cars hippy hops from toys'r'us in anticipation of the holiday weekend "tie-up", blew em' up, and tried to tie our Supra to a X-30. No way, jose, the boards in the racks hit. Seems like a lot of trouble to take the boards out to tie-up. Instead we tied up nose to nose, and anchored the backends.

Again, looking for enlightenment here. Thanks

Get some swivel board racks......I am not sure there is a bumper large enough to keep the distance from 2 boats with boards in the racks. You would have to get the huge bumpers that the cruisers use but that is not very feasible. I still think the hippity hops are the best thing out there to tie up with. I used my 4 this weekend and they worked out perfect even in the docks!

Gotta make the sacrifice there, that's why on holiday weekends we ride one day and tie up/party the other...definitely don't want to tie up in a party cove with boards in the racks, you'll ding something up every time, guaranteed
