Adding more deck rigging to a recreational kayak

ramoore · 04-12-2019, 10:05 PM

Last year I took a self rescue class with LLbean. It was then that I learned that most rec kayaks don't have enough deck rigging to pull yourself back in the boat. I have two Dagger Zydeco 11 that I love to paddle because of comfort and stability. I want to add to this boat more ' deck cord' to know if I have to get back in I have a enough/strong 'rope' to grab onto. Any suggestions?

toward the end of last year I bought a Necky looksah 14 that has appropriate deck rigging- I am 'learning' to paddle this boat but most of the time I just take my Daggers when me and my girlfriend paddle- Clarion/French Creek/Lake Arthur etc
