Default Looking for EZ floats

Greetings fliers.
My name is Karoly and live in Seattle, just off of Lk. Washington. I have not flown for over 5 yrs. as our small group, after 10 yrs. has lost the flying field and since I have taken to rc boats. A kick in the butt, but I miss flying immensely. I still have a few of my planes left on my shelf as just could not part with them. In the past,I have flown my 71" Citabria on floats for several Summers,but after a minor mishap and a slightly damaged, but repaired floats, I took to boats.

I have a set of EZ Sports Aviation floats that use to be available many years ago. Cant find it now. It is the lightest foam with a thin layer of ABS covering and would like to get another set to put on my Tsunami and see how it handles. I just read several of the low wings on floats post and the pictures looked inviting.

Has anyone heard of the floats I mentioned, it is a company in Japan that imported for a while. I would also like to hear from those who have flown a Tsunami,(a very fast plane that takes off in 15' feet and goes vertical forever.) or similar plane on floats. Light plane with a .46, but not sure if it can handle the stress of floats.

Looking forward for your input and suggestion on type /brand of floats to put on a 5# low wing, 51" wing span.
