Re: [Paddlewise] gear for first time kayak owners

Hi Josh,

Sounds like you have a fun trip planned when you come to the States.

I'll let you know how my nylon sprayskirt works after I come back from 
vacation.  I debated and debated about the all-nylon vs. the neoprene/nylon 
combo and opted for the all-nylon with suspenders for coolness. It seems to 
fit tightly enough to hold, but easy enough to release as needed.  We'll see 
...  I'm thinking a neoprene/nylon combo will be better for winter paddling.

Have not heard of O'Neill "Skins".  Do you have a URL for them or a retailer 
of same?  I just bought a synthetic long sleeve top off the rack at the kayak 
shop (can't remember the fabric combo).  It's white, stretchy and quick 
drying.  Should be okay.

Susan
