North Water - Inflatable Paddle Float

Getting back into your kayak after a wet exit is a skill that takes practice, and having the right float makes that practice safer and more productive.

The North Water Inflatable Paddle Float is a well-thought-out piece of safety kit for sea kayakers and touring paddlers. The unique shape fits both Euro and Greenland paddle blades, so it works with whatever you're paddling. Two independent air chambers mean that if one fails, you still have flotation, which is exactly the kind of redundancy you want in a safety device. The double handle design delivers roughly 45 pounds of additional floatation, giving you a stable outrigger point for re-entry in open water.

High visibility colouring and reflective trim make this float easy to spot in low light conditions, whether you're practising rolls on a grey autumn morning or managing an actual rescue situation on Canadian coastal or inland waters. A built-in pea-less signalling whistle adds another layer of preparedness without requiring you to carry a separate device. Add a lanyard and it doubles as a buoy-style rescue can for assisted rescues.

Constructed from high tenacity lightweight fabric, it packs down small and won't add meaningful weight to your day kit or touring load.
