Great for practicing self rescues. Nice that the valves are in the position they are, makes rolling the float for storage easy.

Comments about NRS Sea Kayak Paddle Float:
All inflatable psddle flaots should be dual chamber and this one is. I replaced my last one when one chaber failed. This looks to be of sturdier material and I hope for long use. The clip buckle and draw string make it fit both euro and Greenland paddles. the mesh bottom makes it self draining. The clip buckle and webbing near the foot make it an emergency PFD for a swimmer. I keep it cliped on deck and it is ready to deploy.

Comments about NRS Sea Kayak Paddle Float:
This has given me a great peace of mind. Totally taken the worry factor out of dumping. I don't want to dump, of course, but when/if I do, I ain't worried a bit with this paddle float. Works great.

Comments about NRS Sea Kayak Paddle Float:
I purchased this float just incase NRS ever discontinued this model. I already have the same model and have been using it for years. Unlike some other paddle floats I have used this ones has a large opening, making it easy to insert the paddle blade and once on and secured it stays on. It has two large separate bladders so if one is punctured the other will still be intact. The bladders are so large that I have never had to fill both. It is simple to fill with air, a quick turn and a few breaths you are back in your kayak. When a roll fails and you are paddling alone this is the paddle float I want.

Q:
paddle float inflation tubes have cracked and broken, can the tube itself be purchased and be retrofitted into the float, or purchase a new float ? thank youAsked on 9/23/2012 by paddledad from Toms River, N.J.2 answers
VERIFIED BUYER
A:
I have had the same problem with the inflation tubes on my floation air bags for the front and rear of the kayak.
Need an answer for the probem myself, the bags are perfectly good, but the inflation tube material cracks.
NRS needs to address this and put it in an email to everyone.
A:
If the inflation tube has cracked, that sounds like a warranty issue. Return it for evaluation.Answered on 9/24/2012 by Clyde from NRS
