But I'm thinking I can get a nylon skirt for inland river kayaking and with the Hernderson wetsuit a nylon skirt will be ok for ocean kayaking. Or maybe not but we will see. PS I went out to our local lake (Lake Natomas) the other day to practice a Self Rescue. (first time) I managed to get back into the craft quite quickly. I was stoked! Of course some waves and a heavy wetsuit would be a bigger chalenge! Oh and I had no pump but was close to shore to go tip the kayak over. wrote: jughead wrote: [...] It would be cool if it had a zipper so I can get into the cockpit without removing the skirt. I too would like to figure out how to add an opening. I had suggested earlier that a dry bag type approach might work on a nylon skirt for those skilled with a sewing machine. You can find inexpensive and used skirts on Ebay. On thing you will discover is that a skirt can bake your lower body in hot sunny weather. The air in the boat gets hot. For this reason some people prefer to use a partial bonnet which keeps some water out but does not seal the cockpit. |
