Bought 2 of these at the local Dicks Sporting Goods to take on a float down a local creek with a group. It's a very common, very large creek that people float frequently without issues. Not many rocks or obstacles or hazards we encountered at all. It's exactly what this tube was made for. As soon as we inflated the tubes, we encountered our first problem. One of them came out of the box with a hole in it. I used the provided patch to seal it for our maiden voyage, and the patch did it's job just fine...but a hole before even using it?? Then, the 2nd tube I was putting the rope around the perimeter of it and the rope was about 2 feet too short. You couldn't connect it the whole way around the tube. So, we had to tie it to just the back 3 tie points for the float. Very disappointed overall. The quality control of this company is clearly either really poor, or I grabbed the 2 most unlucky intertubes on the pile at my local store. Not worth the money, just go get the Intex River Run tubes instead.
