The Gaia Paddle Float is my favorite. Why, you might ask? Aside from having two chambers
which both adds more floatation and gives a back-up chamber, I love the mesh between
the two chambers. Because I teach kayaking, I have done a lot of self rescue demos, and I like the
way the water drains through the mesh instead of being presented with a heavy load
of water when I am done with the rescue. It is easier to handle and helps with balance.
When going out in a kayak it is always good to be prepared for all of the "what ifs"!
A minimal safety kit might include a personal floatation device (PFD, lifejacket), a whistle
on the PFD, spare take-apart paddle,
a paddle float for self rescue, bilge pump, three flares, a light (headlamp or flashlight).
Additionally consider water, snacks, a spare warm and sun hat, extra clothes.
Moving on from there you can get really technical and get charts, a VHF radio, GPS...it all depends
if you are going out on a warm protected lake for an hour, or on a more exposed trip.
Here in the Northwest we have the Puget Sound with cold water (we always wear non-cotton, protective clothing),
with current and wind. The fun part is, no matter what the weather report is, you never know what will happen!
