is there an age limit on whom can use a float tube

I noticed my tube had a patch that says 16 years or older has anyone ever had a problem with this on the water not that im under 16 but I have brothers who wouldnt mind getting on the water with me

I don't think so. In my avatar is my grandson who was three, the ranger at Perris checked us out and said a life jacket is a better idea than the floaties. I've had both my boys at 11 or 12 use that same tube with no discussion from Rangers, but that is fresh water and a few years back.

That patch is likely a "cover their backside" liability thing. Never heard of an age limit.

No i dont believe there is an age limit it really comea down to common scense and of course safety, safety, safety.

Nope no age limits , I was in my first tube solo @ 10yrs of age .. I rode around on my bike collecting stuff to recycle to buy that new doughnut style tube and I would backpack it everywhere once I got it . never had any issues with anyone , of course I was taught the proper safety measures by the grandpa and some good friends on the water with our local rangers and all has been good since.
