Tom, the drogue is what I thought it was. I would not use one for the reasons you mention, but Rob indicates a drogue is one of the options (but not for him). I'd rather be swimming and have my kayak free of me than have the drogue line, me, and my kayak mixed up in surf. Rob has much more experience in surf than I do, so could be he has ways to minimize the hazard. I could learn from that. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR ----- Original Message ----- From: "TSG" <tnksng_at_qwest.net> > Hi Davekru, I mentioned the possibility of one of these awhile back in a > discussion about the inevitable broach, and typically it seems that someone > else already is using one.
