Will the i11s stay afloat with a deflated chamber? I would like to buy one for fishing while traveling but worry about hooking the kayak.
I have never had any of the chambers on mine lose pressure, so I can't address that part of your question except that I venture out feeling very confident that I would do fine if one chamber started loosing pressure. I need to test that theory out on my next immersion/re-entry practice outing.
But I have caught a few fish from my i11s and have never come close to getting a hook caught in the boat and I often leave lures with large sharp treble hooks laying on the deck...the surface is hard and smooth enough that I think it would take some real effort to punch a hook through and create a serious leak.
