Float Tube recommendations for occasional fast water

[TubeDude]

[cool][#0000ff]You have already been given some good advice. Float tubes are for still water. Don't put a float tube on a creek or river unless it is slow and deep. There should also be no obstructions...above or below the surface.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Being a thrillseeker is okay, right up until you find yourself in a situation that can cause damage to you or your craft...or loss of your equipment or your life. And, on moving water, things can happen fast and you can find yourself in big trouble before you know what is happening.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Depending on the type of water you are thinking about floating, even pontoons might not be a good plan for you. Make sure you know every foot of the flow very well before you launch, and be sure to become very familiar with your craft, your own abilities and limitations before you go.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Also, wear a personal floatation device and either have someone else with you or let others know where you are going and when you plan to return. [/#0000ff]
