Easy to make, Rex.  Find a good flat mesh bag --- laundry bag, "storage" bag 
--- cut a piece of minicell foam so that it's a tight fit (probably something 
like 12" by 18" by 3" thick), cut a slice into an end of the foam piece to 
accomodate your paddle blade, shove the paddle into the open end of the bag 
and the slice in the foam, and you've got an always-inflated --- and, 
unfortunately, less compact --- paddle float.  Put a snap hook on the end of 
the drawstring to wrap around the paddle shaft for security.
