Just a thought... You could consider swapping this for 25mm polypropylene
webbing so it floats.  Not as strong as nylon, but if the polypro webbing
hits its breaking strength, whatever part of your body it's attached to will
no longer be attached to you.  The polypro webbing will also allow you to 
shave a few grams off the weight of your kayak :-)
