Three deck specifications: The Force, The Pressure & The Gripper

Spraydecks

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

The decks look smart with bright contrast stitching & 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 neoprene has been glued together and then stitched on both sides. The result after stitching is 100% waterproof and so does not require waterproof tape to be applied over it. This is achieved by using a special machine & a curved needle which does not penetrate through the neoprene layer.

Opposite is the hand brushed thick latex underside, notice the ribbed appearance which is an indication of high quality hand brushed latex

  Pressure Deck

​Force Deck

4mm neoprene

9mm red shockcord

Generous hand brushed latex coating underside

The Force deck is easy to put on with the added bonus of the positive grip provided by the latex underside creating a great waterproof seal with the cockpit
​
Pressure Deck

4mm robust neoprene

10mm black shockcord

Generous hand brushed latex coating underside

Wide flexible reinforced rim

Orange contrast stitching & release tab

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.

Gripper Deck

4mm robust neoprene

11.5mm black/red shockcord

Generous hand brushed latex coating underside

Wide flexible reinforced rim

Red contrast stitching & release tab





The Gripper deck has a monstrously powerful 11.5mm shockcord to offer a mega vice grip onto your deck. For paddlers who aspire to big waterfalls or to drop down into the dark green depths of a seam. This is an extreme deck for those with strong thumbs.

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.
