European standards require foam flotation within the hulls, so may be lengths of foam "noodles"? All US made kayaks and sailboats (except Wave, Getaway and Bravo I believe) have foam inserted in the hulls.

Hello Bandito, My wave (2008) also has a foam noodle floats, two pieces in each hull. During the renovation of the inspection port seal I took opportunity to pull them out of the hull, just for the curiosity. They are about 2.5 meters long and diameter is about 10 cm. You do not need to worry about their position inside the hull. They are so lightweight that their location has no influence on sailing performance. I believe their purpose is just adding some safety in case of braking the hull.

Thank you very much for your suggestion and advice, I hope one day to be able to navigate in your company since I live so far away, Italy and Slovenia are two neighboring nations. Greetings again.
