Bungie Knots

As an ex sailor I am embarrased to even ask this question but here go's. I tied the shock cord both in front and behind the cockpit in a basic square knot, that I thought I had pretty tight. My sister was practicing a paddle float rescue and when she pushed the paddle under the back cords one of the knots came loose. Not too bad where we were at the time but maybe not 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,

Nick

(by the way, I was on a aircraft carrier, in an aviation squadron, so we didn't "do" knots)
