how much ballast

[CrAb BaIT]

hey guys using a 11ltr rescue float with a 30 x 35 cm dive flag on the tail was wondering if anyone could recommend what amount of lead i should use to keep my set up stable .. at the moment i use 200g which i think is heavy but keeps everything stable when paddling out through the shore break but does seem alittle heavy to tow at times

Hey
Have no experience with ballasting floats myself , i can only imagine that you need to find a happy medium.
Try less weight , say 100 instead of 200.
See how the float performs and adjust accordingly.
