Does anybody know if anybody makes a solid float with more
buoyancy?

I don't think there is a bigger one that I know of. Certainly a lot of
the small home made ones that folks bring out to practice on my
paddlfloat workshops find theirs thoroughly inadequate. The best one
I've seen was carried by one of the guys on the Storm island trip. It
was an old faded orange seat cusion/emergecy floatation device for
runabouts. It had a pocket and straps that could be utilized for placing
the blade in to, and was a great camp cusion/chair. it was a little
unwieldy on the rear deck of his kayak however. Looked like the Beverly
Hillbilly of sea kayaking.
