When I’m on an overnight or a multi-day trip, I put one of my 4 liter waterbags behind the back support of my Telkwa Sport. It can be a bit inconvenient when I get into the boat because the top or the back rest tends to flop forward but it’s well worth it for the gentle and flexible support it gives when I’m paddling. It’s probably similar to the support you get from your paddle float. I would say, buy a paddle float that you decide to dedicate as your back rest inflatable bag and optimize the inflation volume or try my method, using water that you can drink along the way, empty all of the water out to use for drinking and, start using another water bag, as needed. If you are on a longer trip, I’ve got the same advice.
