Just a funny: no paddlefloats, therefore, no paddlefloat induced paddle breakage. Besides, you guys break enough paddles fending off crocks, pushing away sharks, flicking off box-jellyfish, and flinging away poisons spiders. But hey, I do have an outdoors magazine from your land of skill down under/up over (or whatever is politically correct to call it), that has pics of a step-by-step breakdown of the Paddlefloat Self Rescue. The article is a few years old now. They didn't mention the dual purpose camp pillow aspect of the float however, which was a bit disappointing -- considering the worlds greatest paddler (Paul C) used his camp mattress as an emergency impromptu outrigger float-support for a self rescue a few years back.
