I heard about a guy who drowned up in Northern California because he was tubing in the ocean with waders and the water went up over his waders and slowly filled them up.
When they were to heavy he slipped out and drown trying to get out of his waders because they believe he [size 1]panicked[/size].
Good idea is to use a wetsuit when in heavy conditions or not go out [
]
Keep some safety gear with you too. Whistle, Life Jacket and pop flares and of course a knife.
I put together a safety kit for like $20 with a whistle, pop flares and inflatable life vest. I did this when I first started tubing years ago. I was drifting around in Anaheim Bay and a huge boat did not see me, if I did not have my whistle he would of ran me over [unsure]
So remember safety safety.
