What is Tubing?

Tubing (or "toobing", or "floating") is floating down a slow moving river in an oversized inner tube. Most people get a cooler for beer, put it in another inner tube, and tie it to one of the tubers. Then the whole party latches on to the cooler tube flotilla-style and sits back for a relaxing time.

The Origins of Tubing

Who can say it isn't simple? Texas summers are like an oven. Our spring-fed rivers are icy cold. Some mad genius grabbed an inner tube, some beer, and jumped in!

About Us

We love water sports — floating the Texas rivers is no exception — and want to share that others. We give you up to date information about tubing trips and river conditions.

We are not outfitters; we do not sell or rent inner tubes. We do not take reservations for tubing trips.

We're interested in hearing from tubers and from outfitters. Contact us!

Also, if you ask us, it's tubing, not toobing. However, some outfitters use "toobing" for some unknown reason.
