good luck! I lost about a hundred bucks again this year. Someone cut all the moring ropes and stole the SS clips and bouys. Now they went through the resort and cut off all the power lines for the copper in them! Punks, they should have the same thing happen to them someday!!!!

beach balls, the big ones, find an old sain net or fish net to wrap around it, put your anchor line off that, of course this would be temporary, if you want something permanent, that beach ball isn't going to last long.....

Kids hoppy-hops make great bouys and there cheap.
I picked up some spiderman & whinny the pooh on sale at walmart for 5 bucks each.

Overton's usually has 8" bouys for $10 for 3. Otherwise, I can 2nd the hippity hops.

i dont know if any guys do this but ive been thinking about it. my neighbor lived in alaska for about ten years and while he was there he gathered a bunch of buoy's from the crab boats they just washed up on shore or he found them at a flea market. he prob has 15 of these things and there real big and you can deflate them if needed. im hoping to get them off him next summer if nothing else i can borrow them from him, i just didnt know if any of yall have used these, i just wanted to throw out another idea.
heres a pic of one of the smaller ones, he made a swing out of it for my niece and nephew and they love it!! its hard to see in the pic but its the green thing.

I got a truckfull of the Hippity Hops two years ago. 16 for under $100. I've only lost one so far.

I even got one of those foam noodles and strung it between two bouys for a log jump. Real logs and fallen trees are much funner though.

Now that's a great idea! I could see duck taping a bunch together.
Guess I'll be adding that to my track next year. thanks dude

The noodles I bought were hollow so you can feed rope thru them and connect them for just about any config you can dream up.
