[#0000FF]My opinion? You be doin' it right...and then some.
You were also one of the pioneers of tubing and tooning in Utah. There wasn't anybody else to ask or to watch so we hadda just do the best we could and hope to survive...and catch fish. Somehow or other we managed to muddle through.
Now we have a tubing and tooning forum for the newbies to accelerate their learning curves. Wish there had been something like that for us in the earlier days.
But there are still a lot of prerequisite bonehead mistakes and accidents that all wannabees gotta go through before they can rightfully claim to be true floataholics. And, just like kids and hot stoves, it doesn't always help if you warn them in advance. They still gotta prove it to themselves.
There have been a lot of times in the past when I wish I had been carrying a video camera...to record the "bloopers" of fellow tubers. And also a lot of times I'm glad that others around me didn't have video to record my "epic fails". I've had enough to semi qualify as a real float tuber.
