As a result, you should always make sure that you have a paddle float on hand when you are at sea. There are many different types of paddle floats that are sold at various stores. However, it's understandably hard to tell which floats work better than others. You should always look for floats that are easier to inflate than others. There are two ways to do this. First, you should read instructions for use of whatever paddle floats you're thinking about buying. If you do not think that you'll be able to use paddle float then it is probably not your best bet. You should also check and see how long manufacturer says that it should take you to right your boat while you're using. You can also read recommendations of people who have tried that particular paddle float in past.
