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
