safety flag

I was looking for suggestions on a fiberglass safety flag setup like the kind you would put on an atv. I've been looking online and it seems like Cabela's has a good deal on a 79'' setup. Anybody have any creative ideas or pics on this subject?

I have a sketch of PVC parts to make one that fits in the OK flush mount rod holder.
 I am just waiting on the NWKA flags.

Nevermind, picked up one at Joe's. I like your idea though, way to be resourceful. I just posted on the NWKA flag thread - hope that works out.

i got an ATV flag and made a wood plug on my lathe that goes into the sail mast hole on the Hobie drilled a hole in the middle and epoxied the flag in

Ok, here's how the finished product looks.
I attached a small PVC coupling fitting with an end cap and used stainless steel clamps to attach it to my existing home-made rod holder rack. Drilled a hole in the bottom of the end cap large enough for the bolt on the pole to fit through. I wrapped the bottom few inches of the pole in electrical tape and foam insulation strips to the point where it fits snug into the PVC fittings.
I simply slide the pole into the fittings and twist on the nut on the bolt sticking out the bottom.
The flags will have to do for now, I hope I'm not inadvertently sending a message by using a orange pennant above a red square. I think it's funny how C.O.D. put "Red Flag" on the flag. Guess they were thinkin of us colorblind people!

does that do reverse osmosis too?

Workin on it...

might have missed the original posting, but whats the purpose of all the piping??

The extra tubing is a rack that I made out of a bunch of PVC fittings, PVC pipe and some stainless deck rail mounting fittings. It serves a couple of purposes. It has an extra two rod holders, a scotty mount is on it for my light or fly rod holder and I made a fish sprayer which is mounted on to it as well to spray down my catch if it's in my rear tank well(doesn't get much use  ). Since I already had this rack made, I figured it'd probably be the best place to mount a safety flag. I have a better pic of the rack with the sprayer running in my pic gallery. Yeah, I know, I have way too much time on my hands!

no, actually, it's intriguing...

care to share in a "how to"??

This pic.  Nice.

Jeez, just put a short bucket under it, and it's a live well, too!

Heck yeah, I love talking about that stuff. I actually can't take full credit for the idea, it was one of the guys I worked with at OEX down in San Diego that gave me the idea, except his was ALL metal, ran off a separate pump, a separate battery... So I simplified to better fit what I wanted, but yeah, got bored one day and spent way too many hours in Home Depot and that's what I came up with. I guess I could start typing something up and I'll shoot it your way for sure at the very least. I guess it's probably a good idea for me anyway to write down ideas instead of having them floating around in my head.

If you ran a tube further back into the water, you may have the first homemade kayak jet drive.  May be faster than pedaling or paddling.  You still would probably need a rudder to turn though.

I assume you guys stow all this stuff before a beach landing in the surf ....
