[size 2]Hey tubers, I just wanted you guys to know that you can tube in cold weather but just not on hard water. [/size]
[size 2] I went for the ride of my life to day at Castaic Lagoon here in SoCali. The wind was blowing 20-25 miles an hour with gusts at close to 40mph. Air temp was 35deg and water temp was 48. TubeNtoo and I were.....tubing. Better said, surfing.
There were 1 foot waves and chops coming off the water and peltering us from behind as we kicked out way out to about 40ft depth of water.
It took all of 30 minutes to reach a bouy to rest on after all that kicking and only two minutes to reach the shore after we let go.
Didn't get to fish from the tubes but we did get a good work out. I did get a new idea after watching a windsurfer out there moving so effortlessly. hmmmmmmm. How about wind tubing???[/size][size 1] [/size]
