I can see this being very useful in the event you need to be found/rescued by helicopter, but not sure if it would help any vessels find you in the event of an emergency.

Here's a similar device used by scuba divers. IMO: something good to have if you ever find your self separated from your kayak. It's small, compact and visible.

That would be a handy thing to have for air rescue to spot you

I think even a boater can spot that sausage once you start waving it around....well maybe not as visible in high seas. IMO, better than the rescue streamer.

Group IQ is inversely proportional to the size of the group.

A Steelhead always knows where he is going, but a Man seldom does.
