[cool][#0000ff]Welcome aboard. Lots of good tubing in the SD area...but mostly "inside". We don't have a lot of BFTers who tube it but there are a few. Probably more guys hit those waters from kayaks and toons. A bit safer and you can cover more water...especially in wind and current.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]You can launch off the beach in some spots, when it is low surf conditions. Better yet, find a place where a pier or breakwater knocks down the waves so you can get out. A line of kelp offshore can also lighten the wave action. Just be watchful of tides and weather changes. Things can go bad if you get stuck out beyond the breakers and they jump up too high. Float tubes are for fishing...not surfing.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Lots of good halibut and bass action in both Mission Bay and SD harbor. But you sometimes have to work to find the fish and watch out for the big boats. Be sure to time it so you go one way on an incoming tide and back to your launch spot on the outgoing...or vice versa.[/#0000ff]
