Shipping Damage Free Guarantee

Accessory Shipments

Paddles, PFDs, dry bags, helmets, skirts, motors, rod holders, and accessories ship UPS, FedEx, or USPS Ground.

It lands on your doorstep like any other package. We email tracking the day it leaves our shop.

Order gear on the same order as a kayak we're hand delivering or shipping, and it comes with the kayak.

Kayak Shipments

We deliver kayaks two ways. Inside our delivery area, we bring your boat to you ourselves. Everywhere else, it ships LTL freight with a carrier that reports a 99.9% damage-free delivery rate. We'll tell you which one you're getting once your order is placed along with more details.

If we hand deliver it

Nothing to inspect, nothing to sign at the curb. We're the ones unloading your kayak, so if anything is wrong, tell us right there and we'll take care of it. We will call before hand for a meetup place.

If it ships LTL freight

Look the boat over before you sign the delivery receipt. If you see damage, write it on the receipt. That one step is what protects your claim. Then email clear photos to helpdesk@cfoutdoors.com within 2 hours of delivery. We also will email you more details on this process once the order is placed.

What we cover

Structural damage. Anything that compromises the hull or would void the manufacturer's warranty, confirmed with the vendor. We make it right.

Cosmetic damage. Light scratches or minor surface dents that don't affect performance or structure. We send a repair kit when one is available. If you'd rather have a replacement, a 20% restocking fee applies plus full shipping back to us.

The Badfish Dingy rethinks what a river tube can be. It is directional, with a slimmer midsection that actually paddles and a little rocker so it rides over whitewater chop instead of stopping in it. Nobody had asked why tubes could not work more like boats. Badfish did.

It is long enough to tuck your legs in when the current gets spicy and relaxed enough to sprawl out with a drink on the slow stretches. Pair it with a Badfish Dingbat paddle and you can pick a line rather than take whatever the river hands you.

Durable PVC, a heavy-duty self-draining floor panel, molded side handles and reinforced D-rings. It inflates through a standard SUP valve with any SUP pump and carries a 3-year warranty.

Specifications

  • Shape: Directional, slim midsection with rocker
  • Construction: Durable PVC
  • Inflation: Standard SUP valve, works with any SUP pump
  • Floor: Heavy-duty self-draining panel
  • Handles: Molded side handles
  • Hardware: Reinforced D-rings
  • Warranty: 3 years

Key Features

  • Directional Shape: Has a front and a back, so it tracks instead of spinning.
  • Rocker Profile: Rides up over whitewater chop rather than plowing into it.
  • Slim Midsection: Narrow enough that paddling it actually does something.
  • Self-Draining Floor: Heavy-duty panel that empties instead of filling.
  • Molded Handles and D-Rings: Real places to hold and clip.
  • 3-Year Warranty: Backed like gear, not like a pool float.

Badfish Dingy River Tube Questions, Answered

Dingy or Donut?

The Dingy is directional with rocker and a slim middle, so it paddles and handles moving water better. The Donut is the classic round shape, done well, and it is the more relaxed float. If your river has rapids and you want to steer, take the Dingy.

What does directional actually mean here?

It has a front and a back. A round tube spins and you ride whatever way it puts you. The Dingy holds an orientation, which is what makes paddling it worthwhile and lets the rocker do its job at the bow.

Do I need a paddle for it?

Not to float, but it is built to be paddled and it is a different experience with one. The Dingbat is the single-blade hand paddle, the Double Dingbat has a blade on each end for real crossing power.

How do I inflate it?

Standard SUP valve, so any SUP pump works, hand or electric. If you already own a paddle board you already own the pump.

Can it handle whitewater?

Badfish built the rocker for whitewater chop, and the self-draining floor for water that comes in. What is appropriate depends on the rapid and the paddler. A tube is a tube, so scout what you are floating and know that swimming is part of the deal.

Do I still need a life jacket?

Yes. A tube is flotation you sit on and can come off of, not flotation for you. Everyone in a tube belongs in a life jacket, and on moving water that is not negotiable.

How does it ship?

Ships parcel, nationwide. It packs down small enough to box, so it goes out as a standard ground shipment.
