RE: [Paddlewise] Safety Warning

Somebody was marketing it a few years ago. Good idea but anything that
somebody has to install on there kayak will have a limited market. For the
same reason I'd like to see some easier solution to implement. Best if it is
incorporated into the cockpit or spraydeck and works automatically and adds
no other hazards. I can dream can't I?

  The age-old technique of installing a permanent strap running from inside
  your cockpit to a largish ball tucked under a bunji seems a good idea.
Works
  even if you ripped the grab loop off your skirt on any skirt/coaming
combo.
  If the ball is large enough, you should be able to locate it with gloves
on.

  This method was reinvented in a recent issue of Seakayaker magazine.
