Is it true that this paddle does not float?

To tell the truth I cant get to it now or I would put it in the tub. I never dropped it but I would think it floats .

It could be that you didn't fill the float with water by holding it underwater for a minute or two when you 1st installed it. That was barely mentioned in the instructions but sounds like something that would assist in moving the float down.

I agree with other answers. I put my iPhone 5s in the case and it did not float.

It doesn't float. I have had it in pools, lakes and the ocean. Still works extremely well. It doesn't like sand that much. But it's easy to clean. A great addition to a go pro camera.

No doesn't float. Great pool toy for kids and adults alike as long as they're skilled enough to swim under water to retrieve torpedo.

Yes, It will float, but I believe it is not designed to be a bath toy. There are too many areas where moisture can get into and between blocks.

Yes! Not sure how long it will float tho. Bought it for my dad for when he goes paddle boarding. He has dropped in the lake twice, and immediately jumped in to get it. Both times it popped to the surface. He has been using it for a year and loves it!

It is not specifically designed to float out of the box.Anything can float if you do it right. This model is a split hull design. That is, the hull is in two pieces, left and right halves. You would have ot make sure the hull is sealed, and you add the proper weight to ballast it properly to float at the water line.

I have had this canoe about a year and a half. Last time I took it out I did get stuck a few times in the Moncacy river due to shallow water (probably less than 6 inches). I will say though that it needs a minimal amount of water to float.

We have owned the machine for about 3 months. We have noticed that the paddles do stay up sometimes, but not always. It just seems I be a random occurrence. Sorry, not much help.

I've had mine for about 6 months and it works great. I don't think it could float around because it is too heavy.

No, I didn't notice it floating. However, I don't fill my sink with water usually. But wait, I just tried it with about 2-inches of water, and it absolutely did not float. It stayed flat against the bottom.

Yes it floats but when it is in the water it is halfway submerged and it does not go very fast in water

the paddle will float for a few moments but eventually can fill with water and sink. If you are paddling and drop the paddle you probably wont lose it but it you leave it it the water too long it will eventually sink. I have never had to worry about it and have dropped my paddle plenty of times.

Yes! I just started this summer as well, and this paddle works just fine. It isn't as fancy as my brother-in-law's more expensive paddle (~$100), but it is similar construction, similar features just not quite as pretty. Works perfectly fine, and very affordable.

Don't know...My son used to BEG us to put it in water, but there are stickers you put on the ship, and we don't want the stickers to start peeling. If I were to guess, I would say that it would float.

No it does not float. The biggest down side to it is that it soaks up TOO much water. This makes if comfy and secure for the child but it is very heavy and hard to wring out.
