What is a tube for water?
Tubes for use as towables on water are generally not true inner tubes but rather specially designed tubes for the purpose of recreation. These tubes are often fairly durable and come in either donut or disk shapes. A sleeve of synthetic fabric often covers the tube to prevent it from becoming elongated during towing. There are four different types of float tubes: the round float tube, the U shaped, V shaped and pontoon float tube. All of these small water crafts are also designed with solid, durable material and with safety in mind. The round float tube was the initial design for float tubes.
What kind of tube is best for tubing?
Standard inner tubes are the quintessential choice for river tubing enthusiasts. Crafted from durable rubber, often sourced from truck or car tires, these tubes are built to withstand the rigorous demands of river terrain. Designed to be lightweight and portable, they are easy to inflate before use and deflate for convenient storage. Whether you’re tubing solo or with a group, the river tube is your ticket to a fun and leisurely day on the water.
