I hear this a lot, but I don't see the problem.  Release it from the 
kayak, tie a loop in the end of the line and hook it onto another 
paddler's PFD chest strap system, for example.  A figure 8 on a bight is 
a pretty quick knot for such a situation and is easier for many people 
than the more obvious bowline.
