I've used both. One of the inflation valves on my inflatable one is mostly broken off so I've been looking to replace it (although practicing reentries with only one side inflated makes it a bit more challenging) and have tried a foam paddlefloat. I really like the ease in which it can be installed quickly and the support it gives. The only drawback is that it's fairly bulky but slipping it under the back deck bungies makes it easy to get to, and although I haven't tried it, could be retrieved from the deck after a capsize and used to roll up like a seal bladder was used. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
