Most paddle floats are made out of nylon and are brightly colored. That way, if paddle float is lost, or if it comes free of paddle, it will be easily found. Considering types of locations where you will need to use paddle float, this is very important.

Paddle floats are used to right your kayak after it has tipped over. Essentially, paddle float turns your kayak paddle into an important tool. Since one end of kayak paddle will float, you'll be able to use kayak paddle to push against water on other side of kayak. The direct result is that kayak will not flip over again, and you'll be able to get back inside.

Since it is not particularly easy to use paddle floats, it's recommended that you go somewhere relatively safe and practice using them before you get out on open water and need to know how.
