Strip: Rudder Rigging

Have purchased a very nice Stellar Kayaks surfski footbrace system. Am curious as to how people have rigged these to allow for adjustment and not have to constantly readjust cables. I am considering: 1) cables from peddles to the cockpit tied with a taughtline hitch to dyneema to the rudder or 2) a long loop from the rudder through one foot brace peddle to a padeye on the forward bulkhead back through the opposite footbrace peddle to the rudder.

Any input is very welcome. Will be glassing the interior hull and deck this weekend so will be moving to outfitting soon.

Thanks,

t.s.
