It's tropical rains today...Dad and I are hanging out under the gazebo as the winds blow the rain bands past. The water is very high in the Chesapeake. My "quiet place" at the bottom of our hill is underwater today.

I was going to dig up some "Tubing pics" but we can wait for Ray's. Can't wait to see how high they launched a grandkid! My grandson attained around 15-20' b/c he only weighed 55lbs(25kg)! I thought I had killed him in front on his parents. I was so happy to hear him cry when he came up after the inevitable slam to the water. WHEW!!

Somehow I don't think Ray will endanger his brood.....as much!

Is it called tubing because they used to use the huge inner tubes of tyres to drag behind boats? I'm sure I've seen that somewhere.

Come to think of it we used to have an adventure park not to far away with a tubing ride but I think it was done on a huge slide rather than water.

It was also a slide, I wasn't being pulled by anything! It was probably made for tourists and children and we had to wear helmets. It was still fun though 😅

This is the tube, it is pulled behind a boat.
Easier than water skiing.

Thank you Ray and everyone for explaining tubing to me - it sounds like great fun. I had imagined people being in a rubber tube and flapping their bodies around to look like seals, or something similar! I've never seen anything like you describe here in the UK, but I probably just don't know where to look.
