Don't Let This Happen To You

[Abking]

I say the pool noodles are NOT utterly useless.

When a shark bites your boat and water cannot be prevented from filling your hull you will be glad to have the noodles keep the boat from sinking.

I'm not looking for paddling performance when a shark is circling - I just want to be able to stay on my boat.

Time for my own experiment...

I'll have it on youtube.

Gallons, please. Not liters.

Just sayin - measure the amount of water you pour into the hull in Gallons.

Cool. I would like to do this myself as well. We have a cr@p load of noodles for our pool.

I used to live up in Humboldt. Surf, Fish, Free-dive for Ab's. It's a whole different deal in the water up there. Deadly.....

Boat noodles make good sense!!! First thing is - glad you're ok dude. Second is LOL! I've seen 2 bait tanks get top heavy and take their owners over the side. This one sounds like a major catastrophe...wow. Way to keep your head and hold on to the paddle to signal with. You get the gift of experience!!!!

Is there any reason this kind of foam would not work for floatation

Floatation Foam

Floatation Foam

It's ideal.. that is what it's designed for... I've used that foam in my boats, my wood kayak, and will be using it in my aluminum kayak as well..

How do you contain the foam so it does not expand beyond the space that you want to fill?
