Our first Tube Athletes have officially launched down the Yampa!

They’ve trained for minutes. Hydrated with questionable beverages. And are fully committed to the art of aggressive lounging.

No paddles. No shame. Just tubes, tan lines, and the occasional confused duck.

Think you’ve got what it takes to join the team? Float like a pro with Mountain Sports Kayak School 🛟

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨
Mountain Sports Kayak School is now offering Tube Rentals and Guided Tube Trips 💦
Because not everyone wants to paddle... some prefer to sit, sip, and spin slowly in circles.
That’s right — tubers are people too
Elite? Maybe not.
Athletes? Depends who you ask
But they float with passion.
So if you’ve got gold-medal-grade loafing skills, come prove it on the Yampa.
We salute our seated brethren.
