Hi All,
After a very long time out of the water I have decided I would like to get back into water sports. My back ground is mainly dingy and ocean liner sailing, surfing and a bit of white water as well.
I have decided to get into wave skiing (hence why I'm posting in the surfing section cause you don't have a wave ski section) so I have gone an ordered a kayak that will give m the best of both world. It's a sit type so I can wave ski and white water with the same craft.
No unfortunately I have a wife that watches far to much news and as a result she has made m promise to by a SharkSheild before I hit the waves. I have no problem with this (hell it couldn't hurt) BUT I have been researching the SS7 and it says that Kayakers should feed it through a scupper hole and sit the unit on the deck............... Ok so if I come unstuck (and that's a matter of when not if!) then the Kayak is protected and I'm now bait fish. 
So this is the advice part - Has anyone got an SS7? and can anyone tell me how far down the antenna the first electrode is. I ask because I was thinking that I could wear it like a diver (on my ankle) and hang the antenna over the side. I am using a sallow draft sit on Kayak so if I can do this then I will stay protected when I end up swimming, but this will depend on how far down the antenna the first electrode is. I hope I'm making sense 
Anyway I look forward to seeing you all out on the waves and thank you in advance for any help you can give me.
Cheers
Stewie
Around the ankle and put the aerial up your clacker and you'll be right.
And welcome aboard, everyone loves a goatboater, almost as much as those fkn cripples....
Goatboat with a shark/shield/attractor in the takeoff zone
Yay.
You may do better on the 666 room
K..... I'm starting to see why there's no surf ski section.
Been so long that I had forgotten that certain classes of surfers think they own the ocean.
Point taken I'll move on.
Stewie, get a longboard mate and join the longboard forum, all good vibes in there 
i like goats better than sups and i even just bought a sup meaning i don't like myself. Seriously if need be have a shield on ankle and leave off untill u lose goat boat out in the middle of the ocean, i reckon your pretty safe other than that
remember dont wear SS down at trig point with else all the bikini babes will laugh at u.
No offence intended.
Seriously, asking for canoe advice on a shortboard forum... I suspected somebody taking the p!ss.
Maybe I'm a little sensitive because years ago when goatboats got really popular with the kooks I got cleaned up badly by an out of control one.
Said kooks would drive past miles of empty beach until they spotted a bunch of shortboarders and thats where they would go out. Paddling boats through surfers is poor form IMO.
(well more than I already was anyway lol)
