: I am just finishing up my expedition single and my question is are there any
: links to making grab loops? Or any good ideas on them. Also I remember
: seeing I think, one ocean kayaks with what looks like PVC in the holes
: where the grab loops go. If it is PVC does anyone think it is better or
: worse than just a hole in the hull. It kind of looks neat....kirk

I use rigid copper water pipe to bridge the hole through the hull. I swab it with epoxy to keep it from turning green. I use a PVC sprinkler riser for the handle. A little creative rigging can make them auto retracting to eliminate the bang, bang, bang while paddling.
