Buffalo Paddles

Front tie downs for your kayak or canoe.
If your vehicle doesn't have a metal loop under the front for securing a line, or if you don't want a rope or strap coming up in front of the bumper, you can put a nylon strap under the hood and attach it to a fender bolt.

You can buy ready made straps, but they might be too short, depending on the hood contours.

Buy 3 or 4 feet of 1" nylon webbing. Determine how long it needs to be for a good fit, and cut to that length - Note that you'll need to fold each strap in half to form a 6" loop, so each strap length should be approx. 12 inches, or longer, depending on your vehicle.

Punch or drill holes at each end of both straps Remove a fender bolt, thread it through both holes on one of the straps, and reinstall the bolt.

Fold the new strap and tuck it inside/under the hood when not needed. Fold it outside and close the hood to use the loops for securing your boat. See photos

Decided to pretty up my 30+ year old faded Boreal sea kayak ahead of a Georgian Bay trip I'm doing next week. Did the same treatment in June for an 8 day trip on the Rideau Canal in Ontario. This product is temporary; it wears off, but the temporary shine is worth the little bit of work involved.
"MAXIGLIDE Boat Guard SPF-50". A little bit goes a very long way; one 16 oz. bottle will probably last you several years.
You can buy it from Wenonah, or on Amazon and a couple other places. $29.95 most places, but shipping charges vary wildly. - Bob Van Hise

Prepping this week for an upcoming kayak trip around Phillip Edward Island in Georgian Bay, Ontario. Adjacent to Killarney Provincial Park. Probably 3 nights of primitive camping on those rocky shores.

And... wear your life jacket! Every time.
