: Hey, how about a cockpit cover with 1/8" vinyl-coated aircraft cable
: instead of a bungie--you could fill the cockpit with your sprayskirt, PFD,
: wetsuit, drysuit, aqua socks, take-apart paddle, neoprene booties,
: neoprene gloves, paddling jacket, dive mask, sponge, pump, paddlefloat,
: helmet, and camelback; and lock it all safely under the cockpit cover.

Nice idea Shawn!

Add a couple of extra small loops thru the big one and lock those around the racks on the truck or a tree on the ground. Another way to secure.

But your basic idea is great! Say a kevlar cover. Have to tear the coaming off to get in.
