Where to tie for tow - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hey BWE homies. My friend has a seadoo jet ski, and wanted to do some fishing at a distant breakwall. He plans to tow me real slowly from the boat launch. I have a 2015 Hobie Outback. Can you guys recommend the best location on my kayak to tie the tow line? Do I need to worry about the type of rope or anything else to minimize damage to either vessel? I was planning on looping a line through the mirage drive opening in the hull and then have maybe 8 or 10 feet distance between us. I did NOT want to tie it on one of the handles or anything like that.

The key is we plan on going SLOWLY. Do any of you see any potential problems with this?
