Введение
Old bungee cords tend to dry out and become brittle. This makes it easier for them to snap when tensioned, rendering them ineffective when attempting to secure gear like paddles or backpacks to the kayak.
A bungee cord should be elastic, tight enough to secure gear but also easy enough to pull these items out as needed. Take your time to adjust to this desired tension in Step 5 of the guide.
While the specific pattern of your bungee across the vessel might differ slightly, this guide will help you replace the cord.
