Seems to be really in vogue with the gas prices, green movement, and "LL Bean" enthusiasts. My sister-in-law just invested in her 10' kayak from her experiences in canoeing...and she is 50 years old...not the outdoors type? There is a local fishing tournament with a kayak division....

I hear you on fish having an advantage in their natural habitat. I watched this program last month where this chef was trying to catch fish with his bare hands (it was a tradition in the country he was visiting). This guy was pretty strong, but without prior experience, the fish definitely had the upper hand (or should I say: upper fin!). It was thrashing about and whacked the guy in the face a couple of times, then got away. Your suggestion makes perfect sense. It would be interesting to get feedback from other surfers who have adopted this method. take care... Hi. I hear you on fish having an advantage in their natural habitat.

A piece of pipe on top of the hulls on both ends. Run a manual pull locking strap under the saddle and pull both of the pipes together. You can now tie off the frame of the wheel on either end of the W. You may want to bolt a piece of wood to the pipes so the wheel frame will have something square to butt up against.

More pictures would be helpful. Looks like there’s a strap going below the saddle to the other side, where it’s probably attached to something else. More pictures would be helpful.

Camera stayed in the port bow hold! It was a cool time. Cheers! Tom Buddington “First I thought the top picture was supposed to be related to some storm…”
