I don't know any sea kayaker who carries a throw line, so the question is moot. I don't think the Canadian regulations specify. However, if you want (or are forced) to carry a throw line, a WW throw bag is a good choice. In sea kayaking, however, a tow line is more useful.

If this is just about compliance to regulations, any 50 ft buoyant line will satisfy them, IMHO. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
