Description:
Solid support for getting back in the boat. The NRS Sea Kayak Paddle Float (NRS item 50006.01) turns your paddle into an outrigger that steadies the kayak during an unassisted re-entry. Two separate air chambers give a backup if one fails, which makes it a sound pick for sea kayak patrols, rescue instructors and team members running self-rescue drills.

Questions about the Sea Kayak Paddle Float
How much flotation does the Sea Kayak Paddle Float provide?
Each chamber displaces 7 liters, so both chambers together displace 14 liters.
Why does it have two chambers?
The dual-chamber design gives you a backup chamber if one is ever damaged or fails to hold air.
How does it attach to the paddle?
The main pocket slides over the paddle blade, then 1 inch webbing with a buckle and a barrel-lock drawcord secure it to the shaft.
Is it USCG approved?
No approval is listed. It is a self-rescue aid for kayak re-entry, not a PFD; always wear a properly fitted PFD on the water.
