Sea kayak spraydeck - 3mm neoprene, abrasion resistant fabric, reinforced with kevlar tip

Spray decks are intended to be tightly fitting - you don't want them peeling off when the going gets tough. This can also make them firmer to put on! If you have a very large cockpit (greater than a metre long), you will have difficulty fitting your deck unless you have very long arms!

This spray deck is shaped specifically for the Mirage Sea Kayak - using a Mirage cockpit template and reinforcing the pointy tip at the front with kevlar.

Each "Custom" deck is lovingly made in Australia, using secret EW techniques developed over the years that have provided real paddlers with the deck which will see them through the challenge of the water they dare to do. When you see someone with an EW deck, you know they are very serious about their paddling.

Standard Deck - for sea kayaking we recommend the 3mm neoprene. The standard deck is a great all rounder with a double weave fabric that is abrasion resistant.  This deck keeps it shape and will last a number of seasons. Suitable for a extra light (8mm), light cord (9mm) or medium cord (10mm).  For fibreglass or kevlar kayaks EW will only use an extra light or light cord.

Waist size - select your waist tube size from the drop-down. Waist tubes are designed to be a firm fit - if you are at the top of your waist size range and you want a more relaxed fit you may want to go up a size or choose the Multifit tube (additional cost) - fits up to 2XL (118cm).

To ensure the longevity of your tube:

1. Please give us your correct measurement, not a vanity measurement (we know it's tempting!)

2. Roll down the top of your tube a few turns to give you a roll of fabric to hold onto as you pull it up or down, this will protect the neoprene from excessive pressure & splitting

And a little trick for getting the deck on and off your body!
Girls - put your decks on over your head...
Boys - pull your decks up...

Why? - the widest part of boys is their shoulders (usually....) and the widest part of a girl (usually....) is the hips.

What makes EW decks so different?

• EW decks are made with specially ordered custom fabrics to meet our standards for comfort and abrasion resistance with various neoprene grades to meet the performance requirements. EW decks will stand up to the task season after season (they do not use sub-standard materials and do not take short cuts when making of the EW deck) We are paddlers ourselves and know what is needed to make good gear.
• EW gear is manufactured with materials to provide stability, strength, durability and protection from wear and tear.  The seams are not stitched - so no holes for water to seep through, in fact, they are sealed in more ways than one and that is one of the ways we ensure the decks will not come apart.
• If you find that you are in that situation when you need to "bail" the release strap is big and easy to find and very securely joined. You can trust it to not fail when your life depends on it! The EW team use them themselves.
• They are not a mass produced effort with a "one size fits all" mentality, if your seat position is forward or back in the boat don't spend your energy fighting the deck ! tell us where you sit and we will get the tube in the right place for you.
• Electric Water custom make decks to fit your boat.  We want you safe and secure so we make the deck to suit your boat.  They may take a little longer to get but they are definitely worth the wait.
