How to choose the right size spray skirt for your kayak
The most accurate measurement for a spray skirt is your kayak cockpit rim circumference. Most current kayak cockpit rim circumferences can be found in our spray skirt fit database . If your boat is not listed, you can measure your cockpit rim yourself. Grab a piece of string, rope, or a tape measure. Follow your cockpit rim around at its broadest point, marking when you begin the measurement. If using a string/rope, lay the string in a straight line and measure from point A to point B, and you will find your cockpit rim circumference. Happy cockpit measuring!
Use your normal pants waist size as a reference point. If you don't know your normal size, use a soft measuring tape to measure your waist. Take this number and subtract 2" then boom, you have your recommended tunnel size.
