I ordered a bag of bungee from amazon and another from eBay, both of them are not good compare to what Hobie uses.
Hobie bungee is very dense, and the sleeve cover is tight, last a lot longer. Do you know a source to buy good bungee?

That's strange. I even cut a small piece of the cargo bungee on my Hobie AI and compare that to the one my Hobie dealer is selling, they are not the same.

Ask your dealer to stock Hobie bungee. We spent a lot of time making sure the elastic and covers are high quality.

Good thing I have 2 Hobie dealers nearby. I am going to stop by the other one.

Most quality outdoor stores that cater to boaters and paddlers should have high-quality bungee. Look for marine grade, USA made Bungie. Lots of Chinese crap out there that breaks down really fast in the sun.

I was able to source very high quality bungee cord at a local "kite/wind surfing surfing" store in Hood River. They carried a good selection of various sizes.
