Getting tubed is the hardest of your list by far cos you need a tubing wave for a start! :P

Broosta,
Agreed. Tubing waves are difficult to find. I believe that getting in the tube, and getting out are the most difficult of manuevers. Nose riding is also very difficult, to nose ride and survive that is. Any dummy can walk the front of the board and pearl, to hang 10 and survive, there's the rub.

floaters are pretty easy to do, prob one of the easyest manovers you can do, i wouldnt say nose riding is all that hard either if your in the right spot on the wave its pretty easy to get to the nose and hold it.

Tube, by far. Or trying to ride the froth when you are starting out.

Tube's gotta be the hardest because it takes the most skill at reading the wave and clearing the lip before it pitches. Floaters are a little easier to predict and hanging the tose just takes a lot of practice and and solid wave to push.
