RE: [Paddlewise] Foam paddle floats, who makes them? Did you make your own?

I got mine at REI.  Haven't ever used it, but I replaced my inflatable one when it started leaking - another argument against inflatables.

Is anyone using a foam paddle float instead of an inflatable paddle float?
Did you make your own or did you buy it?  Where could I buy one?  I looked
at several on-line stores and did not find any.

I remember several years ago someone in Alaska saying they used them up
there because the self rescue is faster, no inflation needed and no valve to
mess with.  Something about really cold water and quick lose of dexterity of
the hands and fingers.
