Pressure Deck Spray Skirt by Whetman Equipment

We have worked together with a specialist deck manufacturer to make the highest quality spraydecks.

The decks look smart with bright graphics & strong colours on the release tabs. The devil as they say is in the detail. Each aspect on close inspection indicates superb attention to function & build quality.

The Pressure deck is a high performance whitewater & dynamic sea kayaking deck. The reinforcement covers all the areas that may be exposed to knocks & scuffs on the rim to the very back of the deck. The powerful 10mm shockcord will lock the deck on solidly to resist the water pressures of whitewater & heavy seas.

Sizes
The chart indicates what sizes are available.

New Size : NDK Small deck made specially to fit the Pilgrim & Echo - available as the Pressure deck

Fitting on a deck
To put on start at the back of the cockpit push the shockcord into the rim then push and stretch the deck forward and slot the shockcord over the front, finally work the side edges over the rim. Always ensure the release tab is visible on top of the deck; if it is trapped underneath the deck then the deck cannot be released.

To release the deck, grab the release tab and pull up and back.

Before use training and practise in spraydeck release and kayak exit is essential.

Which Tube Size?
The body tube size on the chart refers to the actual circumference of the static neoprene, make your choice given there is stretch in the material. Note however that the tube will wrap around your torso between the belly button and lower rib area rather than where your trouser waist is positioned, so consider your body size at that area.

Spraydeck Safety Information
