Default Float Tubing

At last the British Float Tubing Association have their new web site up & running with a forum on it as well.

They also have the dates of events their holding this year

www.bfta.org.uk

You will get sound advice from boys who have been tubing for a number of years.

might keep my eye on that
my mate was shooting in the world clay championships in the USA two years ago and brought me back a tube but iv not picked up enough courage to use it
might be better to go out with someone else

Highly recommend Force Fins if you plan to use the tube much. Spendy but well worth it.

Never tried it but it looks a real hoot to me. Imagine if it starts to deflate 1/2 a mile off shore. Swimming back with your rod in your teeth! American and silly but perhaps on holiday where nobody knows me...
