I think Ninjas are held captive by Pirates on Wells Island and have to get off somehow.

Do I smell the beginning of a new event? The ninjas could be on kites starting from Wells Island, the pirates could be on jet skis circling the island and trying to prevent the ninjas from getting back to the sandbar. The pirates could have paintball guns to make things more interesting. Any other details I'm missing? Where do I sign up?

Historically, for most Asian type fighters, a thin cotton or hemp line is coated with a mixture of finely crushed glass and rice glue. In recent years, synthetic line has been coated with a variety of abrasives and stronger glue, also, there have been some reports of metallic line being used. Some cultures use line that has metal knives attached to hook and cut the opponents line.

In line touch competition, synthetic braided fishing line, 15 to 20 lb test, is used due to its low stretch and high strength for the line diameter and weight. Waxed cotton or linen line is also used.
