I have removed for cleaning, but have always replaced.

I am pretty sure you'll want the foam for float in a emergency to keep the kayak afloat, although that can also depend on how much gear is added to the kayak. I know some guys will add extra foam for piece of mind.

I believe the foam might also help with reinforcement when standing, but I have a Revo 16, so I wouldn't know about standing up
