RE: [Paddlewise] Bow Painters

I could see perimeter lines and bow lines being a problem with WW kayaking,
but not so much for a surf boat. My friend Ken Fry put a two foot line in
the stern of his Wold surf boat just to have something to grab on to after
the inevitable surf newbie wet exit.

I like to hold on to my boat and let the waves drag me in as they push my
boat to shore.

   I think if I am swimming in through the surf with my boat I would
rather have a hand on the boat so I can push it out of the way if I need
to, rather the be in front of the boat dragging it in on a line waiting
for the next wave to pick it up and direct it into my face!
