check out www.intheswim.com
it has "blow up noodles" that are easy to pack

also too we have friends that pack 1 regular foam noodle in each piece of their checked luggage. the noodle bends nicely and it fits into a large suitcase right before it is zipped closed.

prior to us using the timeshare storage (when we checked luggage) we always carried 1 or 2 foam noodles in our checked bag.

the pricing at the smaller shops in aruba is high.
i am sure the department sotres downtown have better pricing thann the swim shops at the resorts.

Same thing with those long flat rafts. You can buy noodles there (if thats what you are looking for) and obviously those are tuff to pack. You will find most hotels are happy to blow them up for you. Surf club has a "station" to blow the tubes up. Most little convienent stores sell them, but honestly bring one from home.
