Thanks for the input -- are you saying you've got your rods perpendicular to the yak? I'm thinking it'd be a lot better to have them parallel somehow during these launches just to minimize the chance of damage if i flip.

Hmm, any of you use rod gloves when stuffing them into the hatch? That could help.

On a side note, i just picked up a mti life jacket. The kotatat came recommended on a lot of yak sites but it felt thick and totally uncomfortable. The mti felt thin and comfortable. I really liked the adjustment straps in the back of the jacket that were easy to cinch tighter. Glad i liked this one since the kotatat was twice as much, too!

I definitely wanted to get that out of the way, and i am glad i found something comfortable. I hope that'll help me use it as much as possible!
