SPRAYDECKS SIZING GUIDE Every model of kayak has a slightly different cockpit size and shape. For this reason, it is always best to try a spraydeck on your cockpit before pur- chasing. A spraydeck that fits well should be easy enough to put on by yourself, and stay on the cockpit as long as you need it to. Everyone will have slightly different needs and priorities. SPRAYDECK SIZING WEB APP We’ve produced a handy web app to help you find the right spraydeck. Search for your kayak from hundreds of the most popular models and find the best fit for you.

A size 6 cockpit will often take a size 5 or 6 deck in neoprene. TOP TIPS WHEN FITTING A SPRAYDECK • Remember that the easiest spraydeck to put on might not stay on the best or keep the most water out. Which factor is most important to you? • Always make your cockpit rim wet when trying on a dry spraydeck. A spraydeck will become easier to put on when wet. • A neoprene spraydeck will stretch with use, becoming easier to put on your cockpit. • The use of Armortex, Tatex, and other protective materials will reduce the amount of stretch in a deck making a good fit even more vital. • Unlike neoprene ones, the fabric of nylon spraydecks will not stretch. It is therefore very important, especially with larger cockpits to get a good fit from a nylon deck. • Our sizing chart indicates the size of spraydeck that we think will work best on your kayak, however, there is no definitive answer as to what will work best for you. We recommend trying on a range of spraydecks to find the best fit for your intended purpose.
