Hey Freddy,<BR>I would say that some people are tubing and some are kayaking. Each has it's benefits but as far as the $$$ goes tubing is quite a bit cheaper. If you're going ocean fishing a round tube is really the best. The U-boat type tubes aren't very stable in the waves. I've been fishing out of a $100 Lews Cruiser Tube for the last 6 years and it's been great which goes to show you don't need to spend a lot of money to get a decent tube. People generally concur that Caddis is a good brand so just pick one in your price range and charge it. Good luck.
