You can do this anywhere that has kelp. It washes up on the beach.

Step 1) Slice off the hairy, bearded end, and snip to length with your knife

Stick one in the other

OHH YEAH!

Kelp has built-in universal fittings for connecting one piece to another.

Improvise.

Now you have a poi rope, or whip, or double-ended-poi-chain.

Spin It

Woo!

Kelp can take a lot of strain! The biggest issue is when the slippery seaweed flies out of your hands!

Enjoy spinning on the beach!
