Comments about North Water Sea Kayak Rescue Paddle Float:

This works as a paddle float, although it does not have as much float as the blow up paddle floats. However, it is really fast to get onto your paddle and thus it gets you back in your kayak faster :) I am a touring kayaker and I hope never to have to rescue myself. However, this make an awesome seat for around camp. I was kayak backpacking for a week in Pictured Rocks in the UP of Michigan and I had the best seat of the group all week. You always have a dry cushioned seat. It also works well to play cards on. I would recommend this to anyone. It is a little large though and doesn't look as streamlined on your kayak but it it bright and make you more visible.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about North Water Sea Kayak Rescue Paddle Float:

Great purpose, bulky design. I prefer the inflatable ones. However if you were to double the paddle float as a seat in your kayak or canoe, that would make its bulk more usefull.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about North Water Sea Kayak Rescue Paddle Float:

I used mine for the first time today in a Kayaking Safety Course. Total waste of money because it is made for a very light individual. And it is very bulky. I will return it ASAP.
