Thanks to all of you who did give me your thoughts and experiences on the sponsons. When I first read about sponsons I thought they were interesting but I had a feeling that they would be a pain in the backside to get hooked onto a kayak, especially in rough conditions. I had been in a local store asking some questions about paddle floats (they were presently sold out though), and of course they suggested the sponsons, cause they are more stable (and they had them still in stock, probably will for some time too...lol), I do plan to get a paddle float though, and will learn to use it, hopefully by itself and with the reentry & roll. One last thing on paddle floats too, I've seen some from companies like North Water that aren't the blow up kind but pretty much a piece of foam in a mesh bag, besides being bulky to carry, do any of you use these and are they worth trying out?
