Spraydeck - Neoprene/Emphatex Combination

The combi spraydeck gives you the strength of the neoprene deck with an emphatex tunnel.

The neoprene deck will keep water out, much the same as a full neoprene spraydeck, whilst the emphatex tunnel is a multi-fit to suit people of different sizes whilst being breathable. Because Emphatex is a softer (less structural) material than neoprene, this deck has shoulder straps to hold the tunnel up.

It has bungy around the perimetre which fits under the combing to lock it in.

When looking at the different brands of combination decks, make sure that the tunnel is made of a breathable type material (like emphatex or gortex) and not nylon which will make you sweat like you did in those little yellow raincoats when you were a child.

Spraydeck - Full Neoprene

A spraydeck helps to keep you drier and warmer than you would be without it.

It has bungy around the perimetre which fits under the combing to lock it in.

It has a neoprene tunnel on the waist that gives the most water-tight seal possible.

Paddle Rope

A paddle rope allows you to keep your paddle attached to your sea kayak.

Our paddle rope has a double velco grip to securely fit around the shaft of your paddle, and attaches to your craft via a loop where the rope is fed back through. We loop our paddle rope through the bungy on the deck in front of the cockpit.

A paddle rope can give you peace of mind by keeping the paddle attached to your sea kayak in rough water, or in the event of a capsize and deep-water re-entry.
