Love LL Bean and Thule, but.......

Sometimes I wonder why they make an expensive problem that can be solved with an inexpensive everyday item.  In this case the Thule Water Slide is $39.95 which seems really expensive when a bath mat works better and the rubber grippy bottom side of a bath mat means you don't need to fiddle with any loops.

I've decided to offer a training class for kayak and canoe loading for $39.95 or $5.00 if you bring your own bath mat.
