Sea Kayaking - Thoughts on Towing
Some thoughts on towing. I have looked at commercial systems that promise to do everything but I decided to stick with my home made version. Main Points: I don't like waist tows, I prefer not to use a bag due to the re-stow issues in rough water, and I don't like rope that floats. I am also not keen on daisy chaining to transition from short to long tows. The chain tends to snag more and it is a hassle to re-chain after a long tow. I think we need to think of towing in terms of "Quick" and "Deliberate", not "short" and "long". Anyway the video shows the system I use.
