Took My tube out to a little pond by my house to get use to kick around. While I was out the tube, it felt like the tube was folding on me. Is due to not have a good enough pump to pump it to full capacity or what
Any help will be helpful
Thanks in advance
icedike soon to be tubeike

[cool][#0000ff]Not sure how you are pumping it up, but lung pressure alone is usually not good enough, especially for Fish Cats and Fat Cats. And the low pressure pumps they sell for inflating kids' pools and air mattresses will only take them up to semi firm. You usually have to "top them off" with a good double action pump. Get the cover firm to the touch and then check it again after being in the water for awhile. If you go from warm air into cold water the tube can shrink a bit. [/#0000ff]

Put a little sweat into it[cool]
With a TUBE you should be using a hand pump. You can get a double action at Wally World for like $14.
It should take all of 3 minutes max to pump up a tube.

Watch out for puting your tube into cold water- it
will cool the air in your tube a lot and it will get
a lot softer.
I have that problem fishing in cold trout lakes so
Im looking for small pump that I can cary on board
all the time so I can pump it up if I need.
Also get double action pump-A MUST.
