It would be interesting to hear from people who have used the paddlefloat  
rescue in difficult conditions - for example 5 star conditions. I've paddled 
 in the races around Angelsey, Wales and find it hard to think about doing 
a  paddlefloat rescue in those conditions. 
 
While I occasionally teach the paddlefloat rescue and carry a  paddlefloat, 
i prefer to teach a re-entry and roll with the paddlefloat.  figure if one 
can get the float inflated and on the paddle the reentry will be  more 
reliable and effective in "conditions"
 
my 2 cents
