So a few years ago, we had a customer request a skirt with a smaller tunnel put in front of the normal tunnel so he could plop his kid in there and go kayaking- presumably on a lake or class I and II stuff. It seemed harmless enough. But we may have made a mistake when we told Tommy Hilleke about this. He immediately asked us for one, and the implications are, well, lets just say terrifying thought provoking. Some pics of Tommy’s new toy:

I am hyped about this. My son is 3 and has been begging me to go with me, but I’m a little sketchy about the float. If four some reason you had to swim what level would he float at with me attached to him. Other then that I am seriously thinking but it.

Hey Dameon,
To be honest- I have no idea. This is an area where you need to test it out and proceed based on your own judgment. As you might imagine, some people will think this is great and completely safe under the right circumstances, and others will call it really, really sketchy.

I like the idea for flat water and small surf but could you put a velcro connection between the two to make it easier to get in and out? I would be worried about the setup on moving water the little guy would probably slip down inside the boat and pin my legs in in an emergency.

Hey Nick,
We can do just about anything for the right price. If you are interested in pursuing this, let me know and we can discuss options. In general, though, I think the velcro might be pretty leaky.
