They have Power boat shows, Caone shows, Camping shows, Fishing shows. I wonder if there is a Tubing show?

[cool][#0000ff]That's one of those things that there should be, but ain't. However, a lot of the big sports shows around the country have more and more big booths and exhibits on tubes, toons and yaks. Those are good places to pick up books, videos and DVDs on the sport.[/#0000ff]

Ever think of setting one up? [
] They have the canoe show up in Wisconsin every spring and it is only canoeing stuff. Books on tubing? I tried looking for one but don't know where to look.

[cool][#0000ff]Maybe someday. That takes time and money. I would rather go fishing.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]If you want something to read, I have been writing a book about float tubing for almost thirty years, about the float tubing I have been doing for over 40 years. I am attaching the introduction and the summary of the chapters. Send me a PM if you would like me to send you any of the chapters.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I will be doing more research on pontoons and kayaks during the coming year, along with some GPS R&D. Hopefully I will be about ready to publish by then.[/#0000ff]

Ya ready to sell a book? I clicked on two of the attachments. I would ask but I just don't know what I'm asking for yet! Sounds like a nice fireplace reading book![

Hey Bluegillman,
Check out the "Best of the Best" thead - it has a ton of info. TubeDude has put an incredible amount of time into his sport and knows his stuff !
I have had a tube for a couple of years or so. When I met TubeDude, I learned more from talking with him in a couple of hours than I had figured out on my own the whole time I had my tube. Go through this board and I garauntee you'll have enough material to pretty much cover any questions you come up with.
I can also say that TubeDude is serious when he says that he is real busy with fishing - he is about as passionate a fisherman as I have ever met ! So, take advantage of the opportunity to learn from his enormous experience and willingness to share it.
