Spray skirt size issue

Advice
#1

I am a larger fellow with a 44 inch waist. Having trouble finding a spray skirt that fits me.



Suggestions?

#2

have custom made
Snapdragon.com, brookspaddlegear.com, sealsskirts.com, to name a few

Or, make your own.


#3

modify?
The above option of a custom skirt tunnel size is ideal. I’d go that route if possible.



I guess an alternative is to buy some nylon or neoprene and sew some xtra girth. The tunnel is a simple enough thing to sew. It can be seam sealed to waterproof it.



I had a friend who could sew make me a custom sun/spray deck with a zipper.

Inversion quotient?
What’s your planned play time in waves and surf? Intentional rolling? Etc.?



Or are you spending more time oxygen side up?



Wildwasser Neo/Neo Pocket Skirt is quite adaptable to larger sizes of paddler torsos.



Immersion Research Coromell is a neo/fabric half n’ half that works nicely for ocean touring purposes.



Other suggestions will follow, I’m sure.



See you on the water,

Think about
a half skirt for the summer. Much cooler and keeps sun off you legs and prevents drips from collecting. You can forget rolls with a half skirt. Search half skirts or mini skirts for kayak.
