I carry them in a PFD pocket, and do not worry about them geting wet -- they
are the upgraded Skyblazers, and seem pretty well protected from water entry.

With that sea sock, a knee tube under the deck would be difficult to fashion,
although a velcro-closed pair of slits might allow under-deck bungies to
penetrate the sea sock without compromising it too badly.  I believe someone
on this list has done that, IIRC.

Maybe you need to consider a deck bag.
