Ready the moment you need it, with nothing to inflate. The NRS Foam Paddle Float (NRS item 50007.01) slides onto a paddle blade and acts as an outrigger while the other blade is secured to the boat, steadying the kayak for re-entry.

Questions about the Foam Paddle Float
How does the Foam Paddle Float work?
Slide one paddle blade into the nylon pocket and buckle it in place, then secure the other blade to the boat. The float acts as an outrigger to steady the kayak while you climb back in.
Why choose foam over an inflatable float?
There is nothing to inflate and no valve to fail, and the EPE foam will not hold water.
How big is it?
It measures 18 inches long, 8.5 inches wide and 3 inches deep, and weighs 11 oz.
Is it visible in low light?
