Never been tubing before, so I would probably only contemplate flat water.
But......I have been convinced to be wild-and-crazy in my lifetime.

I hadn't been tubing since childhood when we did the trip last year. I thought the whitewater was actually pretty easy, and there were smoother stretches in between that you could just float lazily through.
DB and I were talking about this today-- Since there is a combo trip, it could be possible to do a mix. Folks who want only flatwater could show up in the morning and do the Shenandoah. Then any folks who prefer whitewater could time their arrival for the lunch in between the two trips, so we could all hang out together as a group for a little while before the whitewater trip. And then there will be those of us who might just do both.
Or we could take a vote and go with the majority. There's plenty of time to figure it all out."How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

I had never gone tubing before last year's trip, either.
