Over the last few days I’ve seen kids yelling to tubers approaching the C-Hole to lean back. I feel badly for those visiting our town, both young and old, who follow the advice and inevitably flip on their tubes.

Quite often, they lose a hat or sunglasses and the ocassional phone.  I wish a little more aloha and kinder spirit prevailed, as losing stuff in the river is unfortunate and a spoiler.

I wish, too, that our kids weren’t the ones prompting it.  Perhaps we, parents, whose kids are enjoying the river could encourage them to be considerate, and the businesses renting tubes could tip off our visitors to lean forward and enjoy the ride.
