Re: [Paddlewise] Matt's sea socks

I bought a sock from Matt Broze thinking that it would help keep water out
during a re-entry and roll.  In rough conditions (surf), I am having
problems staying upright after the R&R with water sloshing around in the
cockpit.  I have a modified forward bulkhead to reduce cockpit volume.  A
look at the sock however revealed it would not reduce volume any, or at
least not substantially.

Maybe there is a way to reduce the sock volume?
