Hmmmmmmm Leisure Suits . . . . . . . . . 
Can't you just imagine what this would do to our sport's image??  And the 
follow up movie??  The Nerds Explain  How To Surf Without Losing Your Beanie 
??
Would we have to wear the pocket protectors too??  Would the ACA institute a 
dress code ??

Has anyone here seen the CamCleat Line-Lok (Rope Runner)? It's a little piece of nylon which serves as a length/tension adjuster for ropes that are under tension, like tent guy ropes, kayak perimeter lines, gear/deck bungees, etc. They say they are available at West Marine. I'm going to MacWorld SF tomorrow but plan to check them out on Thur. or Friday. I saw them in MultiHulls magazine and they looked like a really "now why didn't I think of that" type of device, cheap, simple, durable, and really effective for what it does. Sold in bags of 10.
