The end result here is the question is kayaking 100% safe? Nope, not possible. Either you live with the risk or you don't.

That said taking silly risks is dumb, so you have to figure out what works for you. If it's extra foam flotation that makes you feel safer then it's your boat, do it. Just listen to other paddlers, you really want to be able to remove it on occasion so you can let the boat dry inside.
