Kman,
You should really make this post on the floattube/kickboat forum.
I know a couple guys here in North Cal go out for halibut and stripers in the bays and it tends to be much rougher than down south (where I think you're from?).
They are actually VERY safe and stable. Much more so than kayaks and you're further out of the water than tubes (boats can see you easier). Besides, I'm a freshwater bass guy and LOVE to carry too much tackle on board!
Oh, they're not nearly as fast as a kayak but with oars, you can cover lots of water along with getting to your spots quickly.
Sounds like a deal, I'd go for it in a heartbeat!
