IE. you always put a Carhardt jacket on your winch line. Its enough to take the intial snap out of the line. _________________ Cleverly disguised as an adult... www.naishkites.com EdG Since 19 Dec 2005 425 Posts Just a Kook that's Obsessed Fri Jun 15, 07 6:22 pm     I was thinking of the Anchor Buddy 14' to 50' stretch anchor buddy    33367M.jpg  pdxmonkeyboy Since 16 May 2006 6081 Posts forever labled as the retired kiter & motorhead Unicorn Master Fri Jun 15, 07 6:49 pm     EXTREME...ly contrived Kataku2k3 Since 14 Aug 2005 3753 Posts Los Angeles, CA Videographer Fri Jun 15, 07 7:55 pm     Just pray that it doesn't break...

These things cost ~$30 and if we could find a way to hold it in the sand, it would make the "Sauvie Island Wait" more enjoyable. I was thinking about one of the screw type anchors modified for the sand and the stress. We could also attach it to a sunk'in log. I'm just not sure what is on the Island since it's been a few months since I have been there.

Pepi Since 16 Jun 2006 1832 Posts Pure Stoke Sports Shop Owner CGKA Member Mon Jun 18, 07 8:54 am     I have no idea why I did this, but I actually called the guys at Banshee Riverboarding and they are emailing me a introductory dealer packet today. Anyone ready to step up to bat on the next no-wind day at the Sandbar??

Could be an interesting diversion after the next cleanup Pepi Since 16 Jun 2006 1832 Posts Pure Stoke Sports Shop Owner CGKA Member Mon Jun 18, 07 9:03 am     Probably not, but an interesting idea to look into as a way of really testing this stuff out. I'll get back to you on this.
