I'm finding that it might be convenient to be able to remove the bungees and re-install them easily. Has anybody tried using the little plastic snap hooks, and a hog-ring loop combination?

: As an ex sailor I am embarrased to even ask this question but here go's. I

: knot, that I thought I had pretty tight. My sister was practicing a paddle

: so good were she alone. What kind of knots do you guys and gals use that
: will stay tight with such a strechable product?
: Any help would be appreciated,
