| Whitewater Forum : Rand VS. Bungee |
Author: Dale Subject: Rand VS. Bungee Posted: 13 Oct 2015 at 9:00am Also, if you don't have a skirt tunnel on your drysuit/drytop, you will usually get a bit of water in your boat, especially if you roll a lot. |

| Whitewater Forum : Rand VS. Bungee |
Author: Ellingferd Subject: Rand VS. Bungee Posted: 13 Oct 2015 at 8:47am Snapdragon and IR are pretty much the only companies making good skirts now. I suppose there is Seals, and those are good as well. Bomber Gear is out of business again, but their skirts are also great. As for implosion, its not really a concern unless you are consistently running huge drops or your skirt doesnt fit your cockpit properly, or when playboating, but you should have an overthruster if you are plugging for loops on the regular. I've used Snapdragon, IR, and Bomber Gear. They all leak to various degrees, so I have a sponge which I view as a way to force myself to rest occasionally when surfing. When creeking, I never accumulate enough water to necessitate emptying until the end of the day. Again, skirt to cockpit fit is more important than anything. Buy a Snapdragon or IR and call it a day, both are up to running the gnarliest whitewater in the world. |

| Whitewater Forum : Free surf kayak |
Author: jalmquist Subject: Free surf kayak Posted: 13 Oct 2015 at 8:29am Yikes! The surf reports were forecasting some pretty big waves for this past weekend. Glad the shoe survived! Before you head out, check some of the surf forecast sites like Magic Seaweed. http://magicseaweed.com/Washington-Surf-Forecast/14/ Specific beaches (Westport, Hobuck, La Push, etc.) have certain characteristics (that often change year to year / season to season) that can influence wave shape and break. But the overall surf height / size is determined by what's going on out at sea. If they're big at Westport, they'll likely be big at Pacific, La Push and Hobuck. One rule of thumb is that if they're really big on the coast, then surf could be nice on the surf beaches along the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Such as Crescent Beach. But there's a bit of voodoo involved in those predictions. You usually need the swell coming from 270 degrees or more to make it down the strait. And current direction and wind conditions also play a factor. |

Author: Mauler! Subject: Free surf kayak Posted: 13 Oct 2015 at 7:54am Surfed the shoe on satuday. Kart wheeled more then surfed. Still awesome fun. Glad the boat didn't break. Waves were big and steep at westport. Trying hobuck next time out. |

| Whitewater Forum : Rand VS. Bungee |
Author: mikefromTX Subject: Rand VS. Bungee Posted: 13 Oct 2015 at 7:37am I have a IR Royale. It's the bees knees. I've had a perception rand as well, but it was pretty old when I got it. I used a Snapdragon for a while and the bungee skirts leak like a sieve, and will implode MUCH easier than the rand. If implosion is only a minor concern, you can get an implosion bar in a bungee skirt. If you want to keep your boat dry, the rand is the way to go. They can be extremely difficult to get on, depending on the fit. I sometimes struggle with mine (especially when dry or very cold). I would say, as far as lasting longer and such, for the price your run of the mill snap dragon is fine to balance economy and performance. I had mine implode in a class 5 rapid and bought the Royale the next day. |

Author: Mauler! Subject: Rand VS. Bungee Posted: 13 Oct 2015 at 7:35am Skirtworks makes great rand skirts. If you don't want it hard to get on......don't order the tight fit. Plus they always told me to pay them later, after I recieved tbe skirt and was happy. Bungees are for people that don't know any better. |

Author: Dale Subject: Rand VS. Bungee Posted: 13 Oct 2015 at 7:33am Nearest I can tell, almost all boats leak at the fasteners. Being tight or having a rubber washer only rarely solves the problem. I've had new boats that leaked from the drainplug(I hate drain plugs). If you want to make sure your boat doesn't leak, back out the fasteners enough to put a little Aquaseal or silicone on the threads, then tighten them back down. If you did a good job, not only will they not leak, they also will not come loose. I know... I know... all you Jackson boaters don't have to worry about this. and yes, rand skirts can be a booger in cold weather but not all rand skirts are made equal. I still have a Mountain Surf with the EZ-On rand that is plenty easy enough in the winter(and is still water tight after years and years of use). I haven't come across another rand skirt that is this easy to get on. Anybody know of a rand skirt that is easy to put on your boat? Meryl's new Seals skirt isn't too bad, but it's nowhere near as stretchy as my old Mountain Surf. |

Author: Slackkinhard Subject: Rand VS. Bungee Posted: 13 Oct 2015 at 6:44am I'm interested in this topic. I only have experience with a bungee. I was told that the rand is harder to get on, especially when cold, and since I'm still a class III boater I wouldn't have any reason to spend the money for a rand?? I don't know if it's my skirt, or maybe my boat just leaks |
