wearable spray skirt OK, it’s actually a drysuit. I thought I didn’t want one, then found one on sale and made the leap figuring I’d sell it if it didn’t fit or bugged me. But I find it gets me on the water much quicker and with fewer worries. It’s a b-Pod with the glideskin neck and attached booties - I recommend it, and you won’t have to Frankenstein a skirt onto your ski. There are also cheaper paddling suits (Gul make one) that could fit the bill.
Good idea, but not velcroed in place. that would be a killer if you went over.
If there is a big enough market for one, call up Snap Dragon and see if they can come up with something. (the problem I see is attaching it to the ski so that you can safely get out if you flip)
Someone above mentioned a dry suit, but that would be way too hot! That is the very reason I don’t wear mine in the winter months when I am working out.
Another Option Would be to try a K-1 distributor/manufacturer like Grayson at Kayakpro.com or Nelo. They may offer accessory half spray decks that could fit. (Van Dusen…?) If you used a light weight Velcro at a several attachment points rather than a constant bead, it could work. As Jack said though, exiting in the event of a dump should be paramount. Positioning the Velcro so you don’t get water under the skirt might take some forethought.
I hear you on the drysuit. I have the ultra high zoot Kokatat Gore Tex one, and sweat like a Sumo wrestler in the spring and late fall. You make your own gravy in these things, like a boil in bag of Birdseye frozen vegetables…
