Mark, 

Both Mike Bode and I bought new tow belts to replace what we were using
after taking Fiona Whiteheads class on Incident Management at the Southwest
Kayak Symposium.

We bought these units, http://www.seakayakingusa.com/gear.htm#tow although
both Mike and I disagree with them about bungies and we have both modified
our setups so they incorporate a bungie.

Next time you paddle with either of us, we'll be glad to show them to you.

My previous setup was a Salamander Keelhauler Pro. What I didn't like about
it was that in an emergency, it was easy to get confused and grab the short
line when the long one was needed and vice versa. In addition, trying to
stuff that setup back into the bag was difficult. Our new belts are much
easier to use.
