BALLER 87 DECK

A bungee style neoprene spraydeck for intermediate to advanced paddlers is now made from e.prene - a kinder to mother nature alternative to conventional neoprene rubber. "87" means the optimum cockpit size is 87 cm (34.2 in.) The actual recommended range is 82 cm (32.2 in.) > 92 cm (36.2 in.) however. This deck will fit most creek boats out there.

• The deck is made from 4 mm e.prene rubber with Supratex nylon laminated on the top - wear resistant outside layer to ensure durability without sacrificing flexibility.
  
• Sticky silicon coating around the inside perimeter of the deck to provide better adhesion with the cockpit rim ensuring it stays on even in hard whitewater.
  
• Bungee around the perimeter to keep water out and make sure the skirt stays on.
  
• Large and easy to find pull tab for a quick and safe exit.
  
• A strap running diagonally across the spay deck that can be adjusted to fit the cockpit width properly and can be used as a "kick out bar" with your knees in case you can't reach your pull tab.
  
• The ease of use of this skirt makes it a great choice for both individuals and outfitters alike.

When choosing a whitewater sprayskirt, consider the difficulty of the rivers you’ll paddle and the fit of the skirt. Bungee rims offer a reliable seal with a looser fit, ideal for beginner and intermediate paddlers, while rand skirts provide a tighter, more secure seal for big water and challenging conditions. Both designs are made to grip kayak rims firmly, handle strong rapids, and allow quick release via the pull loop. To ensure proper performance and comfort, select a skirt that matches your cockpit size and torso, and if the neoprene feels tight when fitting, soaking it in water can improve stretchability for easier application.
