: Thanks John, I was on your kayak page earlier today and saw that
: you have a paddle park on the guillemot you built. From the look
: of the pic it seems the hook is about where the thigh braces are
: but do you recall where the bungee holes where in relation to
: the shear?

Depends on the boat design. The important things are to keep the hook out of the paddling stroke zone and make in convenient to use. Not interferring with capsize reentries is a consideration, too.
