Short or long tow, this towline is for those that prefer towing from the waist. Widely used by instructors and tour operators where they may be towing for short distances. This unique design allows you to: tow with any length of line up to 50 feet, use it as a 50 foot throw bag or if you are towing with 15 feet, use the remaining 35 feet as a throw bag. As with most of our sea kayaking products, this uses the *BDB - Bag Deployment Belt™ and marine brass hardware which is resistant to salt water corrosion. SK Waist Held Tow Line Instructions»

The 1½" Belt with cam buckle uses a second strap (1") and second cam allowing the wearer to jettison the throw bag or tow line without removing the belt from around their waist - translates to the rescuer not risking the loss of their belt - mid rescue.

The highly visible 55’ x 1/4" polypropylene floating line, with built-in shock cord for smooth effective towing, puts enough distance between the two boats for West Coast swells. It is adjustable for single or double-entry cockpits and has a brass quick-release for safety. Each component has built-in floatation and is corrosion-resistant. The whole system fits into a compact throw bag. Coaming Tow Line Instructions»
