 Currently I only use a sea sock.  I've just been paddling short day trips
so
 far.  I'm starting to feel like  a sea sock isn't an acceptable total
 substitute for floatation bags (of any type) because I've noticed a few
 times in practicing self-rescues I've managed to partially tear the sea
sock
 off the coaming of my fujita 480ex.

 Thoughts?

If you rip your bottom, and/or seasock, it
is a quick way to trouble!
