Keep the same size skeg line but follow the advice from Peter to 
upgrade the deck lines and bungie to the largest that will fit the
deck fittings.  Avoid nylon line, as it stretches when wet.  You'll
want polyester, preferably kernmantle style.  You can get this at
any decent marine supply shop.

I'm not aware of any special bungie material - I use what I can 
get from Mountain Equipment Coop.
