RE: [Paddlewise] Inflatable vs Foam Paddlefloats

Howdy,

I created my own foam paddlefloat out of a small kickboard. My method of
reentry is a reentry paddlefloat roll and I thought using the kickboard
would allow me to add somewhat of a sweep stroke like a real roll. I was
worried that the kickboard wouldn't provide enough buoyancy compared to the
inflatable kind, but it hasn't been a problem. It is not too obtrusive as it
stays in the bungies behind my cockpit. I keep my old inflatable in my boat
along with my hand pump, but neither gets used anymore.
Check it out here!
