[CKF Info] cockpit storage?

[Doug]

A couple of easy storage ideas for inside your cockpit-
A. Attach a bungee net under your deck, usually to pad eyes added  
where above-deck attachments are now, of perhaps just to the existing  
hardware under your deck.
B. Install (easy) an "under-deck bag" (large about 6" diameter or  
smaller about 6" wide by 2" deep. These slide out, toward you, when  
you want to get your stuff.
C. Use a spray deck/skirt with an under deck (just above your lap/ 
legs) large pocket, or a pocket or dry storage compartment on the top  
of the skirt/deck (as opposed to on the body tube, which is often  
covered by your PFD and less inviting).
D. Or just use a low profile, tightly secured above deck bag  
(waterproof or not).

All of these work great, depending on how you fit in your cockpit and  
what you want/need to carry. None of them, installed properly by  
design, should impede your entry/exit from your kayak under any  
circumstance. I have used all of them (except the new skirts with a  
waterproof hatch in the deck) and love the concept of under-deck  
storage for some things. Others are best stored in a bag on your  
deck. Just think through what works for you.
