: Kayak paddles--preferably greenland style, although if you've got
: one or two European cheapo's, still contact me.
You can make both very simply and cheaply. There are all sorts of Greenland paddle-making instructions around on the net. If you want a Euro-style DIY paddle, here's a link to a Nessmuking.com article...http://www.nessmuking.com/articles/building-a-kayak-paddle-a-la-volkskayak/
: Bilge pump
For years, we just used yogourt tubs, or other plastic containers - amazing how much water you can move with one when you're sitting up to your whatever in it...
: Tow line
Again, a floating line with a small buoy on the end works - we used 50 foot, 5/16" poly lines with a cork fishing float about the size of a bagel on the end for years...
: Two spray skirts--neoprene or nylon are both fine (both cockpits
: are 31.5" x 19")
If you have a local outfitter who rents kayaks, see if they're replacing the skirts...
: Thule or Yakima Kayak Saddles
That's a little trickier - making the saddles is pretty straight-forward, but you have to figure out how to make a rock-solid attachment to the bars...
: (I just bought a gently used tandem sea kayak--S&G tandem from
: San Javier kayak--and starting in the sport...)
