Here is a couple things I rely on just about every time out.
Very useful instead of dealing with the anchor all the time, Amazon.com: Extreme Max 3006.6817 Self-Hammering Beach Spike Anchor for PWCs and Boats up to 30': Automotive

having 3 or 4 of these is helpful. Amazon.com: Greenfield SNS-B Stretch n' Slide Rafting Line, Multicoloured: Automotive
