pool noodles and random question

[eertkao]

Hey guys/gals,

I'm a new kayak owner and I've been looking for somewhere/anywhere that sells pool noodles to use on my roof rack. The problem is, no one seems to sell them in the winter time so I'd like to know if anyone knows of a store that sells them this time of year.

ALSO, I was thinking about my future kayak fishing adventures and thought about rod leashes and paddle leashes and "what if a kayak angler lost his/her kayak...would you need a kayak leash so your kayak and all your gear don't drift away? I know this probably sounds dumb (and believe me it sounds dumb to me too) but I'd like to hear some thoughts
