DIY Foam Golf Ball Scupper Plugs and Other Kayak Uses
I show a few ways I use cheap foam practice golf balls on my kayak, from scupper plugs to bungees, and ask for your ideas too.
What’s in this video
Foam practice golf balls are cheap, and I found they work great for kayak and fishing projects. In this short video I walk through a few of the uses I came up with, using nothing more than the balls, some paracord and a carabiner.
I start with a quick rundown of uses, then show how a foam ball works as a scupper plug, and finish with how I use them on bungees. Each one takes about 2 to 3 minutes to build. These are just a few ideas, so if you have your own uses for them, I want to hear them.
