By tightening the rear adjuster buckle, the shockcord circumference can be reduced to fit on smaller cockpit rims or for a tighter fit on larger ones. The shockcord runs through a tough polyurethane sheath around the deck, which helps it grip.

Width Measure the width of your cockpit from the widest point of the outside of the cockpit rim. Waist Measure the waist circumference at the smallest part of your waist. Cockpit sizes You may want to choose a deck size larger than suggested here, especially if you kayak sits at the upper end of the recommended size. A wide short cockpit may fit the same size of spraydeck as a long narrow cockpit. Use the largest dimension to determine which spraydeck to purchase. Or better yet, visit one of our dealers and try before you buy. Fitting your spraydeck Check out our guide to putting on your spraydeck here. Make sure the release strap is outside the cockpit and easily accessible. Practise removing your spraydeck and getting out of your boat in a controlled situation so that you are able to remove the deck easily, even when upside down. A tight fit The shock cord that holds your nylon deck in place is adjustable. You can tighten or release the shock cord to fit tighter or to fit a different size kayak cockpit. A well fitted nylon spraydeck will not have too much baggy material, so it is better to choose a deck size to fit your kayak cockpit. The easiest spraydeck to put on might not stay on the best or keep the most water out. Which is most important to you?
