how about the spray skirt size for a Pyranha Ammo,
I paddle the large size Ammo, which I believe has a bigger cockpit size than the S or Med Ammo.
…and also, just got to tell you that your gear is outstanding!
We’re all stumped here… we have never heard of that model boat from Perception.. is it a touring boat? Is it made out of plastic, or is it composite? What are the cockpit measurements (length & width)?
That’s a large cockpit, and you would want a large waist. Beyond that, we make 3 types of skirts that would be appropriate for that boat- the SBD, the toughskin rand and the shockwave bungee. The SBD is a super-dry skirt thats really good for play paddling, the rand skirt is best suited for creek paddling and bigger/harder whitewater, and the shockwave is a good class II-IV skirt thats easy to get on the boat. If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to write, or give us a call.
What size would you need for a Bliss-Stick RAD 175? It is listed as keyhole, with the 180 and 185 being flipdeck and the 195 being creeker. You only have 1 size on the skirt search for the RADs though. Also, the Free Styler, Life Styler, Mystic, Mini Mystic, and SCUD aren’t even listed.
We try to keep up with all of the boat designs out there, but… even though it is our job to make skirts that fit well, keeping up with the literally absurd amount of rim designs out there is really almost impossible. To make it even more complicated, the Bliss Stick Rad is a strange rim. I would recommend XL for any of our randed skirts, and for the shockwave, but our SBD skirt really doesn’t work on that rim very well.
We are due for an updating of that list, and we will be sure to include the Bliss Stick line-up.
Thanks, and let me know if you have any questions,
Is a J Lo a recommended spray skirt for a NDK Romany Surf that will be engaging in upside down activities?
It has a bigger cockpit than a standard Romany. Also – I paddle sometimes in one thin layer, sometimes in a drysuit with rather a lot of fleece under it. Any ideas?
THANKS!
To answer the first question- yes the J-Lo is a full neoprene skirt that is glued and taped so it’s waterproof and made for rolling and heavy surf. The Shockwave and Openwater are also options- they are very similar to the j-lo in materials and construction. The J-lo, though, has the benefit of the shorter, conical tunnel.
In terms of the second question(s)- I have spent some time online trying to find the exact dimensions of the Surf version of that boat with no luck. To recommend an exact skirt size for that boat, I would need to get the width and length measurement of the cockpit, including the rim- although I suspect that it’s a “Large” cockpit.
In regards to the layering/ drysuit question- give me an idea of the problem or issue you would like to solve, and I’ll do my best to steer you in the right direction.
Thanks for the note, and let me know what you think,

I have a Wilderness Pamlico 100, a great boat for quiet water. I’ve spent many happy hours exploring the Chicago River, but I want to take it out on Lake Michigan more this summer.
Pam 100 has a wide cockpit…what skirt do you recommend? Thanks!
Well, that boat has a really large rim- it falls squarely into what we call the “rec” size. The problem with the rec size is that for skirt manufacturers, it represents a huge range of rims, basically anything between 40″ and 60″. Furthermore, most people who buy rec boats usually aren’t in the market for a skirt, or if they are, they don’t want to spend a lot of money. So the skirts made by these boats tend to be loose-fitting and not really made for any kind of challenging conditions. More of a “keep the sun and splashes off my leg” kind of deal. And we have an offering in that department- the Tortuga Rec skirt. For the money, its actually a pretty good deal- it has a foam insert and implosion bar to keep the deck peaked to shed water properly.
If you want something more high performance, you would need to go to an all-neoprene skirt, which would have to be custom-made for that boat (I don’t know that any manufacturer stocks that kind of skirt). we can do this, but it would be in the $150 range. If this is something that interests you, let me know, and I can tell you what we would need to get that project started.
Thanks,

hi john i have a jackson fun and i tried the “large” cockpit and could not get it around even with help from a friend in the sales shop. they said use an extra large. which i was able to get to work. does it get more stretchy when wet or when used more? what do you recommend
The Fun (and Allstar) changed the definition of “large” by making the cockpit the same length as most large rims, but 3″ wider. The width is the deal-breaker here- most skirts aren’t cut to stretch very well side to side, and we make them so they fit without sagging on the common 18-19″ rims. Anyway. We have redesigned our large skirts to fit, and we are just now getting them in stock. They other option is to use an XL skirt- like the shop recommended. The skirts will get a bit easier to put on when wet, but overall shouldn’t stretch out over time.
Let me know if you have any other questions, or if I can help,
What size spray skirt would best fit a Jackson 4 fun?
I also have a pyranha burn M and was probably going to get the new 2010 Allstar or Superstar from Jackson. Would like to have a skirt that would fit all three.
An XL cockpit skirt should fit all of those, although please note that depending on the style skirt you choose, you will get a different kind of fit. If you are looking at an IR skirt, give us a call before you order, and we will be able to help you find exactly the right skirt.
Medium cockpit shockwaves would be the skirt for those boats. Also note that we offer discounts for eligible programs- give us a call and we can discuss, if you like. our number is 814-395-9191.
Thanks,
This page qualifies the Wave Sport EZ as a large. The cockpit on my EZ measures 18″ x 33″. You’re measurement guide calls that a medium. I’m looking to buy the shockwave skirt. Which should I get?
In our shockwave skirts, an XL would be tighter/drier fit and an XXL would be an easier, less-dry fit.
The only rand skirt we make that would fit that rim properly is the Lucky Charm, and it’s the same deal- xl or xxl. We are just starting to roll out the lucky charm skirts, so they aren’t on the website, but we can help you track one down if you like.
In general, though, for the type of whitewater that boat is meant for, the shockwave skirt should be more than adequate.
That would be an XL. We have started to release a new skirt- the Lucky Charm- and the XL version of that skirt is meant for that rim shape. We should have those in-stock here in a week or two.
Depends- if it’s the small rev, it’s a large cockpit, no matter what skirt type. The regular and large Rev is right in between large and XL. If you’re looking for a bungee skirt, then go large cockpit. If you’re looking for a rand skirt, then a large cockpit would be a tight fit, and an XL cockpit would be a easy fit.
I’m looking for a skirt to my new Jackson Allstar 2010. I’ve heard from many that a bit smaller skirt is better and more dry option for the new Allstar then the old. For example would your Lucky Charm size M be better fit with the new Allstar then the size L that is recommended for the old Allstar?
Hi Tuomas,
I currently have been using a size L Lucky Charm on my 2010 Allstar and it is definitely a tight fit. This option is going to be the driest, but a XL cockpit size would work best for ease of application, as well as being dry, especially if you use the overthruster system that Jackson offers.
Jesse
Hi…just wanted to verify that the Wavesport FUSE 64 would require an XL cockpit for the IR whitewater skirt? If so, is it possible to obtain an XL cockpit, but with a M tunnel? Thank you in advance!
Hi Jeff,
You will need a XL skirt for the Fuse 64- and yes, you can get any of our skirts in a Medium tunnel. You can purchase that skirt from an IR retailer near you, or purchase the item from our website, and we can direct the sale to a shop near you that has the particular model that you are looking for in stock.
Thanks-Jesse
The cockpit dimensions on that kayak are 29″ x 16 1/2″, which is on the small end of the Medium cockpit size scale. You can move up to a size Large, but we can not assure a tight, implosion free fit.
What is the best fit for a liquid logic XP9? Your chart recommends the XXL, but I have been told by others that the XL works much better….is this true and what are the draw backs?
Hi,
You guys….what great service your company has!!
Ok, now I have my friend convinced that life is
not so good without a liquid logic XP 10.
So, what size skirt do you recommend for the
XP 10?

I am looking for a skirt that would fit both my Necky Chronic and Bliss-stick Huka, while still satisfying my playboat and creeking needs… Is there such a skirt available?
Hi, I have a dagger mamba. The cockpit measures 18.5″ wide x 43″ long. I already have a JLO large tunnel that I bought last year, but it’s almost impossible to put on. I’m thinking that an a Jlo with an XL cockpit would be better. Based on the dimensions, what do you recommend?
Also, the tunnel I have is a medium and it fits OK but tight. My waist is about 32″. Would a large be too big?
The Mamba rim- along with the nomad- are really borderline between lg and xl cockpit. So an XL skirt is certainly an acceptable skirt for that boat. In terms of the tunnel size- that’s a bit more subjective. A large will not be falling off of you, but it won’t be as dry as a tight fitting tunnel. For many people this does not matter at all- and in many cases it depends on whether or not you wear a dry suit often or if you’re playboating, etc.
Hey guys a newby here and I just picked up a used Necky Mission. What size sprayskirt do you recommend? I have a 34 waist, cockpit size from eddyflower is listed as 31″ x 16″ . would a large shockwave work?
31 X 16- that’s an unusual whitewater rim size, for sure. Do you have the boat near you? Can you make sure that those measurements are from the outside of the rim? Also- the circumference of the rim would be super useful. Take the measurement from the very outer edge of the rim. Sorry to make you do so much work- but that’s an an usual rim, and I want to make sure we get a good fit.
hi. i just got my new IR shickwave plus skirt in mail today. i tryed it on my boat and the cockpit size is pretty tight. i bought a size large cockpit and i have a dagger g-ride 6.2. the IR site says that i should have the large cockpit. would you recomend a x-large cockpit or do you think i should just stay with the large?
You could go either way. The large will be tighter/drier, and the XLarge will be easier to get on, but not quite as dry. Keep in mind that the G-Ride is kind of a leaky rim design, so in any event, you may have some trouble keeping all the water out of that boat.
I have an older Perception Swifty 3.1 that has a cockpit that measures 42 x 21. I need a new skirt for it. Do you have one that will work with this REC boat?
Hi Chip,
I believe I just helped you on the live chat feature that we offer- but to answer your question, yes, the Tortuga Rec skirt will fit that boat wonderfully! That particular skirt also comes with a “One Size Fits Most” tunnel, which will fit anywhere from 28-38″ waists. Thanks for the question! – Jesse
I have a Necky Blunt with a cockpit that measures 37 x 18.5 (even tho skirtfit shows it at 34 x16). I measured from the outside of the cockpit rim. Also measuring one side of the rim with with a metal tape measure gives 47 inches ( 94 inch circumference?). Since this is a creek boat, would a Lucky Charm XXL fit well?
Michael
Hi Michael,
You will need a XL Lucky Charm for that boat- a Special K would be a good choice as well, if you are looking for something that has Kevlar Reinforced edging. Thanks for writing!

The Mamba rim- along with the nomad- are really borderline between lg and xl cockpit. So an XL skirt is certainly an acceptable skirt for that boat. In terms of the tunnel size- that’s a bit more subjective. A large will not be falling off of you, but it won’t be as dry as a tight fitting tunnel. For many people this does not matter at all- and in many cases it depends on whether or not you wear a dry suit often or if you’re playboating, etc.

Hey guys a newby here and I just picked up a used Necky Mission. What size sprayskirt do you recommend? I have a 34 waist, cockpit size from eddyflower is listed as 31″ x 16″ . would a large shockwave work?
63 John Weld // Jun 8, 2010 at 8:10 am
Hey Shane,
31 X 16- that’s an unusual whitewater rim size, for sure. Do you have the boat near you? Can you make sure that those measurements are from the outside of the rim? Also- the circumference of the rim would be super useful. Take the measurement from the very outer edge of the rim. Sorry to make you do so much work- but that’s an an usual rim, and I want to make sure we get a good fit.

hi. i just got my new IR shickwave plus skirt in mail today. i tryed it on my boat and the cockpit size is pretty tight. i bought a size large cockpit and i have a dagger g-ride 6.2. the IR site says that i should have the large cockpit. would you recomend a x-large cockpit or do you think i should just stay with the large?
66 John Weld // Jun 17, 2010 at 10:34 am
Hey Jack,
You could go either way. The large will be tighter/drier, and the XLarge will be easier to get on, but not quite as dry. Keep in mind that the G-Ride is kind of a leaky rim design, so in any event, you may have some trouble keeping all the water out of that boat.
Let me know if you have any other questions,
-John

I have an older Perception Swifty 3.1 that has a cockpit that measures 42 x 21. I need a new skirt for it. Do you have one that will work with this REC boat?

Hi Chip,
I believe I just helped you on the live chat feature that we offer- but to answer your question, yes, the Tortuga Rec skirt will fit that boat wonderfully! That particular skirt also comes with a “One Size Fits Most” tunnel, which will fit anywhere from 28-38″ waists. Thanks for the question! – Jesse

Hi, what size for a Pyranha Stretch?
70 Jon // Aug 9, 2010 at 12:43 pm
I have a M Burn and a King Pin 6.2. I do alot of play boating and class IV. What do you think?

Hi Jon,
A XL Klingon would be your best bet- both for staying dry, and working on both boats- you will need a XL cockpit- Thanks for writing!

Hi,
I have a Necky Blunt with a cockpit that measures 37 x 18.5 (even tho skirtfit shows it at 34 x16). I measured from the outside of the cockpit rim. Also measuring one side of the rim with with a metal tape measure gives 47 inches ( 94 inch circumference?). Since this is a creek boat, would a Lucky Charm XXL fit well?

Hi Michael,
You will need a XL Lucky Charm for that boat- a Special K would be a good choice as well, if you are looking for something that has Kevlar Reinforced edging. Thanks for writing!
