I first saw this in a Yakass Youtube video on how he rigs his kayak.  I've heard at least one other story where someone had a Ama pop off or break the bungee while sailing, so it's gotten me thinking this is something I want to do for my AI.  I cannot imagine what would happen if you had a failure like this on the water, and it seems like a simple enough mod to do, so why not?  Wondering if anyone else has considered it or done it already?

I think it's an excellent idea!

It's a great idea, but the reason why not more Adventure Island owners are doing this is because you have to buy Hobie pad eyes and a special key to swap out the fittings that already there.  If I owned a Tandem Island with the bigger and heavier amas, I would certainly consider doing the mod.
