river tubing

Lazy current ride

River tubing is floating down a river in an inflatable inner tube, typically as casual summer recreation.

Unlike whitewater rafting, river tubing usually involves calm stretches where participants drift with the current, often in groups: We spent the afternoon river tubing with coolers of beer tied to our tubes.
