I see them occasionally at WalMart and Bass Pro Shops. BPS prices a bit high though.

It's really the wrong season to find them easily.

Either flotation, or a big pool party.

30 - 4 inchers, sounds more interesting than stuffing a yak, when I was shopping around for mine I found the 4" ones to be pretty costly compared to the 2 inchers.

No suggestions for this time of year though.

pool supply stores that sell clorine and pumps and stuff have been my source lately... some in lafayette still have some.  i think its Coral Pool.
You can always use them for a party on shore later.

Pipe insulation is real popular this time of year. Kind of pricey though

Flotation is one aspect.  Displacement is another.  Less volume for the water to fill if its full of noodles.

No problem being a newbie.  the search function is good and there are a lot of intro Q&A already on the site.

Thanks for the suggestions. They are not for yak flotation. Crab buoys. I know they are difficult to find at this time of year.
