Zusammenfassung:A buoyant safety paddle ( 11 ) for a kayak, a canoe or other small boat facilitates kayak deep-water self-rescue reentries and facilitates the movement of small boats over aqueous surfaces. Such buoyant paddle displaces significant volume while minimizing weight eliminating the need for post-capsize attached flotation. Each such buoyant paddle's volume is predetermined and distributed to retain paddling efficiency. Each such buoyant paddle has a handle ( 19 ) which extends from one blade ( 12 ) or between two blades, and is water tight, with a continuous strong rigid skin ( 41 ) and low density core ( 42 ). This construction provides a buoyant, minimal weight, stiff, high strength paddle which is economical to manufacture.
