Nick, as a SKABC member, you should have received several emails in the last week giving instructions to login to see the films. If you are still having trouble getting the instructions, give me a call. (log in to find contact info for Clark – admin)

No idea about Mad Frog, but Seasucker sells rod holders and their suction system is great.

Rod Holders

I bought my roof rack from a bike shop out in the Valley, but if you can’t find a local supplier, they do on-line sales.

Hey Carole … I’ve replaced deck lines previously and its pretty easy.    First step is to draw out how the current lines are setup on your kayak (so that you know how to install the new line).  In particular note location and type of knots.  2nd step is to get some new line (your local kayak shop can probably sell you some).  3rd step is to install following the layout you drew from the original lines.   Couple of things to consider / you might need:

• BBQ lighter to melt the ends of the line where you cut it.
• You may need to learn how to tie some specific type of knots (e.g. https://www.101knots.com/hangmans-knot-noose.html).
• You might need a 2nd set of hands to help you tighten the line.

I recommend looking online as well as there are a bunch of good resources about deck lines … e.g. https://paddling.com/learn/deck-lines-rigging .

Finally, if this is not your thing I would recommend your local kayak shop and I am sure they can do the work for you … e.g.

Hi … I was wondering if anyone knows how to find the film festival info?   I checked the link on the SKABC site but it seems to go no where …

Thanks

Take a photo of the deck and the old deck lines. Then when you snip the old ones off you can remember the pattern. Usually 4mm cord is used for deck lines

couple threaded rubber feet on Amazon, not sure if homedepot or Lee valley might sell something

I searched and doesn’t seem to be a very popular item.
Just a random idea could you not make one from a ikea plastic cutting Board?
add some straps and I see some rubber bumpers. I’m sure those could be sourced.

Hi Carole, I installed perimeter lines on my own boat, using 3 or 4 mm nylon cord from MEC. If your lines don’t need replacing, it should be a fairly simple task to tighten them. I would be glad to come and see your boat and see if I can help. Where is your boat?  Call me if you want – 604-434-2294

Does anyone know where I could get a Mad Frog Lily Pad— it is a platform onto which you can attach a Scotty fishing rod holder. It straps onto the deck just forward of the cockpit.

The deck lines of my Nimbus Telkwa Sport need to be repaired/tightened.

Does anyone have experience to help me with this or can recommend someone who can fix them?

Appreciate any suggestions…

It does not sound as though they are setting up permanent campsites, but there are not many sites available in the group.

Their website does not say how many people they take out at a time.

How do you think this will affect availability of campsites for other kayakers?
