Keith said (snip): >I realize that in the past there was an article in Sea Kayaker mag...I don't have the article available to me. I've tried the bungees that are already on on my deck...simply overpower them in terms of holding the paddle in place.< Keith, Send me your address and I'll mail you a copy. Try heavier shock cord or double-up what you have. Keep the paddle blade (if curved) with the concave side down to the deck, which is easier to slide on and off. Keep practicing. With a fixed outrigger, if you start to submerge the float more than six inches, bail to the other side lest you snap the shaft of the paddle.
