It floats because it is full of air bubbles. And because its density is less than 1,000.00 kg/m³ or less than water.
Yes it does.
floaty float
Yes it does. They are made out of foam. Foam floats very well because it is little pockets of air.
for the first few seconds but when it gets wet it starts to sink
Add flotation material to it, like sprayed polyurethane foam.

you know rubberized materials that inflict pleasure
It Doesn't. Actually the foam balls themselves has weight and therefore presses down on the vessel.
Because it contains air bubles to help the kayaker float.
Water has a density of about 1.0, knowing this you can tell if an object will sink or float by calculating the objects density.
it would sink(DrStrong) The answer above may be correct, or the object might float. It depends on the density of the container. If the container is a foam cooler filled with water, it's going to be floating. That's because the weight of matter contained within the outer surface of the foam cooler will be slightly less than the weight of water of the same volume. You can call that a gross density if you wish. However, if the container was made of iron, then there is no way it will float if it is completely filled with water, since the gross density will be greater than that of water.See Archimedes Principle.
would they float on ease
