Which indicates there is a more serious problem.

So why doesn't someone who needs a paddle float -- which is JUST
ANOTHER TOOL -- also have a "more serious problem"?


And what might that "more serious problem" be, exactly?

Given the variance in ability of all paddlers, there are probably a few
people out there that can deploy and and execute a paddle float re-entry
with a stirrup more quickly than many folks can with just the paddle float.
