Fit Help

Getting the right skirt fit can be very difficult, given that every boater’s needs are unique. This is complicated by the fact that there are 100’s of different rim designs in the market, with dozens of new designs showing up every year. The best way to size up your rim is NOT to rely on information published by the manufacturer- many times the information is outdated or inaccurate. The best thing to do is to measure your rim yourself- and the most useful measurement is the cockpit circumference. The length and width can be used also, if that’s all you can find. All measurements INCLUDE the rim. For the circumference, measure around the outer edge of the rim- NOT UNDER THE RIM where the bungee or rand rests when the skirt is on. If you don’t have easy access to the boat you are trying to fit- try looking it up on skirtfit.com

1) Keep in mind that the most accurate fit measurement is circumference!

2) This is our “suggested” fit- some paddlers may need a tighter or looser fit depending on skill level. Where measurements overlap are places where you can go either size, depending on your needs.

    I have a Liquid Logic Stingray 12′

    Would you recommend the
    -Tortuga or
    -Tortuga Rec

    And would it fit my boat?

    Hey Tom,

    Sorry for the delay on this- I had to do some research on the size of that cockpit. You would want the Tortuga Rec for that boat. The Sun Skirt also might be a good choice if you just need a splash guard.

    -John
