To me the hardest part is getting my feet into those flippers and THEN, getting those flippered feet into the tube without falling over like a toasted dough boy.  Round tubes like mine - as opposed to the U-shaped that Harry is sitting on - are more stable in the water and wind, but getting in it always makes me feel a bit silly!

 

Now, remember to hold your rod carefully...you don't want to have a fall on it at this stage of the game.  Harry is a lot more coordinated than I am!
