: John and I have a little game where we rip off each others' ideas, improve
: 'em a little to make the other guy feel dumb, then show up at a boat show
: or whatever and really rub it in. Then rinse and repeat ad nauseum pretty
: much on an annual basis. The good news is that, in the process, we really
: perfect some concepts; our paddle parks are STATE of the freakin' ART,
: dude...

: And now ... here's your big chance to figure out a really cool way to do
: those under-deck bungees, since you're hip to the concept, and make both
: of us look dumb (not really a difficult thing) while improving an idea for
: everyone who comes after you. I say, go for it!!

: But in case you're in a hurry, I just stapled the ends together and epoxied
: 'em in place, and after the schmoo cured, mixed a dookie-schmutz and made
: little fillets around 'em. When I put a set in an existing boat I roughed
: up the areas with like 30-grit sandpaper first, then did essentially as
: I've just described. I've never had a loop come loose, miracles of
: miracles.

Thanks a bunch Kurt. It sounds easy I was about there. Now all I got to do is do it.

Cheers,
Clayton
