Inner Tubes for river floating

[whoDEANie]

Want to take a few people for a float down the cardinal near Cadomine and am looking for tubes that would make it. I'm thinking industrial inner tubes but hat about those Canadian Tire jobbies? ...anyone have experience with how they hold up on a sharp, rocky river bed?

Where would one find a half dozen plain big 'ol back industrial inner tubes?

Industrial tire shop. 10.00-12.00r20 tubes are a great size for one person. They might have some old ones around that just need a patch. We've had a few of these for a few years and have held up great to lake use. Intex River Run 1 Inflatable Floating Tube Raft for Lake, River, & Pool (2 Pack) - Walmart.com

Any tube with a nylon protection on outside works great....from any store,make sure you get right size cuz they use a midget in the picture lol

We used to always just go down to your local big truck tire shop like fountain tire or Kal tire usually $20 a tube and they last forever

What he said. ^^^^. Go to Kal tire. Get a used tube out of a skidder. Tuff as hell.
Also did this in golden years ago when I blew up my sled in Gorman. Sheer terror going down some of the hills uncontrollably on a tube. Made for a good birthday weekend.

You'll save money with a tire tube but they are gay, your butt scrapes off rocks, stem is always in a bad spot, chaffs inside arms when paddling

True, I forgot about the good 'ol days when I used to come home looking like a raddish.
