Super User ATA Posted May 17, 2022 Author Super User Share Posted May 17, 2022 I went out for first time with my float tube, How the heck people can do it with fins, I didn't bring the oars with me and I taught I would be fine right? NO the wind blow me from one bank to other bank , So I need to get down and use the rope to tide my float tube to a pole and walk back to my car and bring the car to that side to get my float tube. That was a good day on water and I enjoy the ride in general. Any tip for using fins will be appreciate. At least I could get a nice picture of my float tube from the bank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Hammer 4 Posted May 17, 2022 Super User Share Posted May 17, 2022 You may not like what I'm going to say, but here goes anyway. Those fins you have, the force fins are JUNK. Trust me, I tried a pair and after 1 outing, I sold them, and split fin scuba fins. What is the hard part about fins your referring to ? Put on your fins before entering the water, walk backwards with your tube going first in the water, once your in deep enough water, just sit down, do whatever straps you have to apply and your tray, then start kicking. One thing to Never do is, to have your tray undone and move your weight to the rear of the tube, I've seen a few guys fall in the water over their heads..waders full of water is not good..lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I am thinking maybe it is because of my fins, they are no good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, they get you moving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
