A towable stream gauge platform having an asymmetrical elastic harness comprises a buoyant flexible platform and a harness including a shock cord having first and second lengths interconnected at a loop, both lengths passing slidably through a plurality of retaining rings flexibly attached to pad eyes embedded in the top surface of the platform, a leading end of said first length extending forward of said retaining rings on one side of the platform and the loop extending forward of said retaining rings on the other side of the platform, a terminal end of the second length secured to the top surface of the platform, one end of a pull cord attached to the loop and the other end of the pull cord attached to the leading end, such that the pull cord encounters greater resistance from the loop than from the lead end when under tension.
