Useful Tips To Enjoy The River Tubing Experience

By Thomas Carter


Tubing is a recreational activity where individuals ride on top of inner tubes on water like lakes and rivers. This has two forms known as towed and free floating which has grown in popularity because of the growing automobile industry. They are providing the large amount of rubber tubes available for general public to use in these activities.

Towed forms are tethered to powered watercraft and move around the water while free floating lets the tubers be carried by the waterway current. You can go to Santa Fe River tubing and experience this fun activity together with your friends and family. Here are several helpful tips in making the most of your day.

Bring hats, water shoes and swimwear and sandals are not advisable to be worn because they could easily be lost when floating. Life vests would be provided either for rent, sale or free and children or anybody not good with swimming are recommended to use them. If ever you have one then you can bring your own or acquire it from the facility.

Carry enough water and place them inside sturdy coolers because foam coolers are environmentally unfriendly and break easily. Glass containers are usually prohibited because they may break and stay in rivers which can cause injuries to others. Prepare some snacks and food specially when you would be choosing the longer float.

Sunblocks are essential because you would be staying for hours under the sun and helps your skin avoid being burned. Apply this few minutes before riding then reapply it every hour after to make sure the skin would not get burned. Getting into water would wash the sunblock off so remember in reapplying it after getting back to the tube.

Arrive there early and avoid waiting on long lines and avoid parking lot congestion specially on holidays and weekends which are busy. Rent or bring a tube then pay the shuttle pass fee included usually with their rental fees and ride the bus to their launch area. They normally require you to leave ID cards when renting so carry back the tubes to retrieve them after.

If the tube you rented is colored black then it gets hot pretty quickly which may burn your skin so splash it with water constantly. You could also cover it with towels or old sheets after wetting them and this helps your ride become comfortable. This will not be a problem if you bring your own and its color is lighter.

Place things that must not get wet like cellphones, electronic car keys and food in plastic bags then place them inside plastic containers or coolers. Leave your other valuables at home and only bring essential ones to avoid losing them or having them stolen. Trash bags are available so remember to bring your trash with you and not leave it anywhere.

Invite friends or family to go with you and avoid going alone so they can help you remind about things like where to paddle and applying sunblock. Tubing is fun with more people to share the experience. And keeping each other safe is easier.
