Re: PaddleWise V1 #1656 - Paddlefloat thread You can build a paddle float using 2 sheets of 5/8" or 1" closed cell foam. Length/width to fit the size of your paddleblade. Glue or preferably stitch 3 sides together. Edges beveled (before stitching) makes it easier to use when practicing the eskimo roll / hip flick. For re-entry in rough conditions 1" sheet probably is better than the 5/8".
