Amen to what all have said about TubeDude and the Tubing board.
What can I possibly add? I bet this is redudant, but in case it's not...
If you put your fins on before you get in the water, walk backwards into the water. (I always put mine on once I'm in the water).
Take the water temp into account when you get dressed. It will be 80 on Saturday, but if you're fishing Strawberry, the water temp will be low 40s tops. If you are wearing shorts under those waders, your day might be shorter than you want it to be.
Plan the day so you have a tailwind to get back to your ride (if possible).
Carry water/snacks to last the duration of your time on the water.
Turn yourself by using one leg (just imagine those synchronized swimmers)
I love tubing! Been doing it since '89. I own a Stansport old truck tire tube, a Caddis PT Boat, and a Fish Cat 4.
