Dumb newbie question about pulling tubes

I am considering buying a new (2007) Sea-Doo GTI SE or Kawasaki STX 12-
F primarily for riding around rivers and in-shore waterways on the
Carolina coast. I have 2 children who would love to be pulled on a
tube (and eventually learn to wake/knee board). My nearest water
access would be a public boat ramp about 6 miles from my house. I see
folks launching boats from there all the time then going to a spot
upriver to start tubing. My dumb question is this - how the heck do
you get that large ungainly tube from the boat ramp to the towing-
around area on a PWC?! Do folks just strap it to the back platform?
Drag it close behind in the water? Just start towing right from the
boarding dock (seems like this wouldn't be real safe)? Stow it
deflated then inflate when you get out there?

Thanks!

couple things! 1. if you drag it really fast with no one on it you
will most likely break it. 2. if the passenger trys to hold onto it
they will likely lose a hand at high speeds with wind (my brother
broke his) i would just drop a body in it and shoot to were i was
going at about 30 miles per hour
