loosing my extra winter weight

So its finally time to loose my extra winter weight lol. I have an app where I need to log my activities and wouldn't you know they don't have float tubing as a listed activity lol so I'm hoping someone on here has an idea of how many calories are burned during an hour of tubing. I tend to fish the San Diego bay in my tube so I'm constantly kicking some days harder then others so I know it won be exact but I'm hoping for an average. So if anyone can help I'd appreciate it and so would my gf lol

I think I know the app how about going with swimming and drop the time in half.

So something like -4 hours of tubing = 2 hours of swimming ?

This has been calculated before so please let your GF know that I am saying this based on actual scientific fact.
Every ounce of energy spent spent kicking fins actually is double that of swimming. So if you spend 1 hour kicking around the bay it's equivalent to swimming 60 laps in an Olympic pool.
Basically, more fishing = less weight and a greater fitness level in general.

Hahaha awesome and you can't argue with science

I read it on the internet do it must be true.

Our dad is trying to lose weight too. He float tubes and plays volleyball with us. Also he was on a no carb diet (and no ice cream or other junk food) and that got him to lose weight. He's been kinda grumpy tho     . He lost 30 pounds in like a month just from doing this.
