Around here, paddle floats are viewed as being a joke not worth having. Despite that, I have made a couple, and carry them to help fill up the cockpit volume beside my legs. I wonder if anyone on the list has successfully used a paddle float / outrigger rescue after an unexpected capsize in rough conditions. Real life experience in "combat" conditions is worth a lot of theory.
