Yes, - this is the main reason why I haven't got one for flying south with a foldable kayak. In some places even a stove fuel like white gas is a problem, - and CO2 cartidges won't be available in small hardware stores. Another thing seems serious to me too: foam provides cushioning from physical impact, protecting ribs, when the body is hit against the shore rocks or anything else. I don't know whether inflatable would provide same cushioning when intact, but it definitely won't provide any when punctured. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
