Hi, first time poster... I use a self made solid paddle float, a garden knee pad (foam) with a pair of bungees. Cost less than 5 $, works great, I learned to roll with it. Stored behind the seat of my P+H Vela. http://ostfriesland-entdecken.de/img/vela003.jpg (http://ostfriesland-entdecken.de/wasser/droemel.php) The inflatables I've seen were too fragile. The kind I use (like http://www.asv-versand.de/bilder/produkte/cd0079.jpg) has the advantage of open compartments which fill with water when in use, so if you re-enter and get too much on the other side, you have a sort of counterbalance. /Gerd *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
