Half Deck / Sun deck
When you don't need the protection of a full spray deck but still want to keep the sun off your legs - flat water, particularly distance paddling such as the Massive Murray Paddle.
These decks are crafted from proofed nylon (red colour) with a curved perspex insert to lift it above your legs.
Two styles:
Standard: fits most decks that are not really big and have gently curved forward coaming. (not pointy). Perspex curve is 57cm and length fro front to behind the perspex 38cm. This will not be at the widest part of your cockpit.
Mirage: Shaped for pointier bows such as the Mirage Sea Kayak. Perspex curve is 53cm and length fro front to behind the perspex 39cm. This will not be at the widest part of your cockpit.
Colour: Blue
Both models have bungee cord extending out 70-72cm each side for tightening around the back of the cockpit (adjustable).
Measurements are approximate.
There is no pull tab at the front as these decks are designed to be easy to get out of in the event of capsize (no waist tube).

This half deck is a great fit for my kayak which has a smallish cockpit.
It keeps the sun and spray off me while paddling.
Great product, highly recommended.
