Right now I’m in Colorado doing a lot of freestyle kayaking. The month of June is pretty much one play spot to the next. Colorado does have good creeking, however there are at least a dozen man made playparks in the state. These man made features provide easy access and a controlled beginner environment.
So the bonus in Colorado is you can work all day AND after you’re done, gather your gear and head straight to the playpark. You need no shuttle, it’s very safe, and it gives you a great excuse to drink beer at night.
I have found that if you are a playboater a dry deck is definitely the way to go.
Why is this?
1. Well, the main reason I use my dry deck is I love that damn IR green! It’s the shit!
2. It’s super comfortable. There’s no tight skirt around your waist. You don’t think the skirt is a big deal eh??? Well, one ride in my dry deck and you will see. It’s way more comfortable.
3. The dry deck is super dry. There is no skirt and dry top combo… it’s all one unit. So no extra holes for the ice cold waters to enter your boat. Also, my dry top is attached to the driest skirt I have ever had on a Pyranha kayak; the IR Kling On. No shit…. DRY!
4. The last reason is the best… a Immersion Research dry deck will for sure get you the babes!! Just today 3 ladies smiled at me whilst in my kayak gear!!
This is myself doing a wild tricky thing. Just maybe my dry deck is responsible???? Notice the green top……… stoked!
