Skog Å Kust SandSåk 2-in-1 PWC Anchor & Dry Bag

These dry bags/anchors are of a good size. I bought a couple of them to store our personal watercraft on the beach. I also bought a couple of Fiskars Composite Soil Scoops (7068) to fill the bags with sand, which work great and protect the hands and fingers from foreign objects, sea shells, or broken glass that may be in the sand; get those as well; they're easy to carry around, very light, and virtually indestructible. These bags hold a lot of sand, much more than the smaller bags I've bought, and they really help keep the skis from floating away in high winds or currents. Because you don't have to fill them all the way, they're more versatile than smaller bags in my experience. My only gripe is with the rope. It is of poor quality, and the lengths of the two bags I purchased differed significantly and were excessive. You can either replace the rope, cut it shorter, or do what I did and tie a few loops in it so I can choose the length - look at the image To avoid having to deal with the loops in the water, tie them at home. The inline float on loop was also in the middle of the rope, which rendered it useless. So, depending on where it is when you get it, you might want to slide it closer to one side. You may need two bags depending on your location. I tied the heavy bag in front and the smaller ones off the back the last time we went out. With that setup under pretty heavy chop, I didn't have to worry about these. I purchased the larger bags for this season because the smaller ones were not holding up to the chop from other boats and I had to go out and reset them every now and then. If you only get one bag, get this one. If you choose two, a larger and smaller size should suffice. The smaller bags' rope was of good quality and style.

Last year, I bought two of these to use at the lake to anchor my Airhead gangplank inflatable rafts because there were no good options for tying them down so kids wouldn't jump off into the lines. I couldn't be more pleased. There's no risk of the clasp breaking or the handles slipping off because they're made of thick, sturdy material. The ropes are thick and have solid carbiners for tying down whatever you're tying down. Last summer, we took the gangplanks to the beach and used these to anchor them just off the beach so that the kids could play in the waves on them. They still look brand new after a summer spent at the lake and a week spent being beaten by the ocean waves. Keep in mind that if you have them underwater (rather than just lying on the beach anchoring something in the water) at the beach, they will shift over time as the waves pull them back and forth, even if they are completely full. We'd have to drag them back up the beach every hour or so as the current and waves dragged them down the beach, but we were also putting our raft right in the middle of the biggest waves for the most fun, so that was part of it. Strongly suggested - product of high quality.

Jet skis will love it. This is without a doubt the best jet ski accessory we've ever bought. Holds firmly on sandy or "mucky" bottoms in both freshwater and saltwater. On somewhat rough water (boat wakes, etc. ), one bag 3/4 full of wet sand held two tethered Kawasaki skis in place. We went to Galveston last weekend and had no trouble with our skis being pushed into the shore, even in the choppy water. Everyone wants to know what they are and where we got them, and when we tell them they're on Amazon, they order their own right away. Advantageous situation: You don't need to lug a heavy metal anchor around on the jet ski's thin hill; all you need is a lightweight PVC bag to fill when you get there and dump when you're done. Without a doubt, the ideal anchor.

It's simple to use and does the job well. I put rocks in it because the beach where I go has a lot of them, and it didn't move at all no matter where I put it, even when there were strong waves coming through. As you can see in the photos, I wrapped the line around the handle, clipped it to shorten it, and then unwrapped it when we went further out. If you use rocks, you must submerge it to seal it and remove all of the air, otherwise it will float. It doubles as a dry bag, and it kept the rocks dry when we first tried it and held it underwater to get it to go down, but no air came out. If you use sand, all you have to do is fold it all the way down to where you filled it to get the air out, then clip it (that's how it closes, I was so confused when I first saw it). The Skog A Kust did send out instructions and care instructions, so keep an eye out for that email. Also, after emptying the rocks and water, which was a breeze, the bag looked brand new, with no scratches from rubbing against other rocks, broken shells, or other debris. Great quality and durability. Other reviews mentioned rope, but it was perfect for what we needed it for, especially with the kids running around. I would definitely buy from them again!.

Upgrade D ring, fill it with sand Especially when it's windy, as it is at the lake where we live in Colorado. br>I filled mine with $5 worth of play sand from my local Home Depot, and it now holds 50 pounds of clean sand. (It's critical to use clean sand; don't use pokey rocks, etc. ) The plastic D rings are the only thing that I expect to cause issues in the future. Unless you upgrade it yourself, I'm afraid the bag will eventually end up at the bottom of the lake. To avoid this situation, I would suggest using a metal chain ring rather than a plastic one.

Invest in the best! Don't waste time searching for a new anchor for your personal watercraft. These are large, sturdy containers that can hold a lot of rocks. In your forward waterproof storage container, you can easily store your items. br>br>On a recent trip to the lake, my personal watercraft did not move an inch because of the strong winds. It's also a breeze to empty the bag. The anchor bag has a handle on the bottom that allows it to be easily handled upside down under water to dump the rocks. br>br>What a fantastic product at an even better price!br>br>Thank you, Amazon, and SandSak!.
