Hey Brian..its Bryan. That one doesn't look that bad if you are only going to bring two maybe three rods with you...On my Floattube I have made a rod holder that straps to the side of the tube, pretty basic to build, but yeah its a vertical one. If I can be of any help let me know..since I'm local. As for buying one around here on the Central coast its slim pickings...I have saw TUBES at Big 5, Copelands (SLO), and even Walmart....but no kickboats. I actually bought both my tube and the kickboat on-line.
